What we at Gear Patrol call the Best Style Releases of the Week, I like to call The Purge. Every seven days my inbox is stuffed and my browser tabs get progressively smaller. Most of the time, my browser tabs are packed so tightly that they have to get rid of the favicon to make room. Each one clicks into a style or watch release we’ve been obsessing about. Now, we can let our inboxes and browsers breathe because we’re finally giving them a permanent home. This week we saw some well-insulated house shoes, a tasty new dive watch from Panerai, a slick binocular strap (not kidding) and more.
Panerai’s newest dive watch is full of exotic materials such as carbon composite and the latest generation of improved luminescent paint, called Super-Luminova X-1. The watch also comes with a 70-year warranty.
Grand Seiko celebrates a couple anniversaries this year, and released some high-end models to celebrate each one: the rose gold SBGW260 marks 140 for the company, and the platinum SBGZ005 is for 160 years since the founder’s birth.
Patek is really good at making really complicated and stunningly refined watches, especially those with calendar and chiming mechanisms. And they’ve done it again.
