Gift Recommendation

For The Office

Originally introduced as a watch for pilots in 1938, Oris’ Big Crown Pointer Date has remained in constant production for nearly a century. Oris has retained the original’s oversized crown and pointer-date complication while subtly tweaking the design with its latest collection. Effortlessly blending Oris’ vintage sports watch heritage with modern design, the Big Crown Pointer Date remains one of the most unique watches on the market. The new 40mm Big Crown Pointer Date elevates the vintage-inspired sports watch’s athleticism with three new dials and a three-link stainless steel bracelet. With vibrant yellow, sky blue, and inviting navy dials, Oris has injected a playful spirit into their classic sports watch. The Pointer Date 40mm features a brushed bezel versus earlier coin-edge variants, giving it a modern edge.

For The Field

The new Promaster Land features a large 43.9mm stainless steel case water resistant to an impressive 200m. The large dial is broken up by subdials at 4:00 and 8:00, displaying the light level indicator and selected complication on the MIP display. The inner compass bezel is rotated with the crown at 8:00, allowing for navigation. It is available in three different versions: a green dial in a gray PVD-coated case paired with a Cordura nylon strap; a black dial with a gray PVD-coated bezel on a black Biomass-based polyurethane strap. And finally, the 35th Anniversary Limited Edition which has a black and grey camouflage dial and bezel on a sporty stainless steel bracelet and camouflage matched strap. This version is limited to 5,900 unnumbered pieces.

For The Everyday

Nivada Grenchen enjoys a place in the mid 20th century as one of the premier quality watchmakers building timepieces for exploration. Its famous Chronomaster, Depthmaster, and Antarctic models are all legends in their respective fields. The F77, introduced in 1977, marked Nivada Grenchen’s foray into the “sport chic” watch category. Now reintroduced for the 20th century, the F77 remains true to its heritage while packing plenty of modern features.The F77’s stainless steel case remains 37mm wide and retains its historical size. This, coupled with its compact 45mm lug to lug measurement, makes it one of the most wearable sport integrated bracelet watches around. Color variations include a blue, black, and smoked dials – both with date and no date. The basket weave pattern on the dial adds depth and detail, qualities that are also obvious on the F77’s case satin and polished edges.

Dress Up Their Everyday Watch

The Model 2 Premium is a more refined version of our Model 2 Classic strap. For the Premium, we took the same tapering 2-piece strap design, but made it out of a combination of Wickett & Craig vegetable tanned lining and Horween top leather. The edges are now painted with several layers of complimentary color, for a cleaner fit and finish.The knots are hand-tied out of thick braided, waxed cotton cord for a hand-made detail. We used both a fixed metal loop as well as a wide leather band for keepers, creating a rugged detail that hints at military straps. By mixing elements of dress and sport straps, the Model 2 Premium has a retro aesthetic that is simultaneously masculine and elegant. Try this on everything from your beat up tool diver to your dress-casual vintage piece. The Model 2 Premium was designed by Worn & Wound and manufactured in New York City.

Elevate Their EDC

Tactile Turn has been perfecting their machined pens for the better part of a decade. Their Side Click pen is their take on a vintage Japanese pen with a side refill release button. After a few clicks, you’ll quickly understand how the mechanism can be addicting to play with. Instead of flimsy plastic, they make their pens from titanium, copper, bronze, or zirconium. All of the metal components in the pen are machined entirely in-house at their Texas machine shop — even the springs and screws.

Make Sure They Wake Up

Indulge in the nostalgia of a bygone era with this retro-inspired alarm clock from Newgate.

Offered with a matte black or matte white dial, it adds a touch of refined elegance to any setting.
