Gift Recommendation

A New Generation of Affordable Sports watches!

Even though most of Seiko's mid-level dive watches are now in the PROSPEX line, the SKX Sports, part of the "Seiko 5 Sports" lineup, still embody the durability and versatility that Seiko 5 watches have been known for since the 1960s. The 42.5mm diameter may sound big, but the reasonable 46mm lug-to-lug distance and 13.4mm thickness ensures a comfortable fit on the wrist. The push/pull crown is positioned at the signature 4 o'clock spot. This may take a little getting used to for dive enthusiasts who prefer screw-down crowns. However, with 100m of water resistance, the SKX Sports can still handle swimming, handwashing, and splashes of water with ease., and a unidirectional 0-60 timing bezel surrounds the dial.

Nylon Mil-straps with a unique finish and weave

Over the last 10 years, nylon mil-straps went from a fun oddity for enthusiasts to a staple in every watch collector’s arsenal of straps. Casual, stylish, durable, washable, breathable - they are a perfect complement to a variety of watch types year-round, but especially great in the warmer months. Well, while most brands have continued to make the same old thing, our friends over at Crown & Buckle have continued to design and develop new materials for straps, and recently created the incredible Matte Supreme.

W&W Classic Multi Tool

The Strap-Changing Multi-Tool is the first of its kind and an original Worn & Wound invention. We took the standard strap-changing tool and redesigned it to add more functionality, without making it larger or bulkier. The tool consists of two capped ends, making it safe to throw in your bag or watch roll, a knurled body for easy grip and two reversible bits. On each bit, you have one standard strap changing tip, a poker or a fork, as well as a small flathead screwdriver. Use the poker for drilled lugs, the fork for standard lugs, and screwdrivers for lug bars, bezels, bracelet links, or where ever else screws might appear. The bits fit into the body securely, popping into place with a rubber o-ring. To remove a bit, simply grasp the ridge and pull out.
