Treat Yourself!: Wind Vintage Watches

In our third batch of vintage watches from Wind Vintage, we've received a great assortment of vintage Constellation and  Seamaster models from Omega.  Like this OMEGA Seamaster Calendar 2627-1. It's an awesome unpolished example. The case and lugs are very beefy and the watch wears awesome on the wrist. The case measures 35mm in diameter (42.5mm lug-to-lug). The watch features an automatic-bumper movement (the calibre 353) which is acts as a fun reminder while wearing. Omega vintage watches can be rare and hard to find. Certain models of Omega watches, such as the Speedmaster and Seamaster, are highly sought after by collectors and can command high prices, so pick one up before they’re all gone!

Upgrade Your Kit: The James Brand Elko Knife (Black)

One of the biggest problems with carrying a pocket knife is that many people perceive them to be threatening. Even if you’re just excited to open up that new watch package, whipping out a huge blade tends to shake people up. Thankfully, The James Brand has a solution to that. The Elko is a small, minimal, and modern knife that’ll fly under the radar in the coin pocket of your jeans or affixed to your keyring. Despite its small size, the Elko knife is also equipped with a few other cool features, such as a bottle opener, a screwdriver, and a pry bar. The blade of the knife is made of high-quality stainless steel and is sharp enough to handle most everyday cutting tasks. The handle of the knife is made of durable anodized aluminum and comes in a variety of colors to suit your personal style.

When You Have Too Many Watches: Moody Tools Screwdriver Set 

Every watch owner / collector needs a good set of slotted screwdrivers for changing straps, sizing bracelets and a host of other tasks. We're excited to offer this great set of 6 American-made slotted drivers by Moody Tools of Rhode Island. Each driver is made of steel with knurling texture and measures 4" long. They all feature a hex-shaped swiveltop® cap that allows the driver to move in the hand with ease, and prevents it from rolling off of a work surface. And not just for watches!
