16 Style Releases and New Watches We’re Obsessed With This Week

For more of the latest and greatest product releases, check out our full collection of the best new gear.

June is a busy month. Summer is in full swing, of course, but it’s also Pride. As such, there’s a mix of seasonal standouts and charitable collabs in our weekly style and watches roundup. You’ll find a fresh fragrance from African surf brand Mami Wata, a VISUAL AIDS benefiting sweatshirt from Todd Snyder, plus a hoodie that supports Heal the Bay, a non-profit dedicated to keeping the waters surrounding LA clean. There were plenty of interesting watch releases this week, too, though: a racing green gem, a complicated Chronograph Calendar, as well as an all-brown watch that references the popular “tropical” patina.

Italian microbrand sensation Unimatic released versions of is Modello Uno (U1) and Modello Due (U2) in mocha brown (MB) colors.

Not only do they look great, but (unlike many Unimatics) they’re powered by Swiss automatic movements.

Universal Works Handloomed Denim Bakers Jacket

Universal Works went the traditional route to make this Bakers Jacket: It is “characterful slub yarn spun in the traditional Indian khadi technique, then woven into the fabric of handlooms,” meaning each piece features unique fabrics pulled together by hand. As such, you need to be delicate with it. There are strict washing instructions in order to keep its indigo color.

Todd Snyder collaborated with trans artist Xavier Schipani on a Pride sweatshirt that isn’t all rainbows. “The camouflage pattern is a subtle yet sophisticated composite of nude, transmasculine figures.
