Giveaway! SeaVees Hermosa Plimsoll

By Cator Sparks November 9, 2015

Yes, yes, it’s boot season. We get it. We love boots, but we are an equal opportunity footwear site. SeaVees have been a favorite for a long time. Classic, clean and comfortable. The line, born in California back in 1964 always makes our feet feel like they are about to go on vacation. (Fun fact: tire company, BF Goodrich, founded SeeVee’s – maybe that is why they are so comfy.) All of SeaVees shoes are batch made in limited production runs to maintain quality and consistency.

Now for the exciting part, we are giving away three pairs to three lucky guys. Just follow the links below and we will be picking the three victors on Monday.

We picked the Hermosa Plimsoll as the giveaway shoe of choice. It is one of their best sellers and is made of luxurious oiled calf suede. It has an improved contoured footbed and is lined in cotton canvas to provide greater breathability and airflow. It retails for $108.

All of SeaVee’s shoes are named after influential cultural dates and events in California’s history. This one celebrated the first skateboard contest which was held in August 1963 set in the parking lot of the Pier Avenue Junior High School in Hermosa Beach. The competition drew about 100 people from the nearby Hermosa Beach Surf Festival.

So go ahead and click away to the winning style. Contest ends on Monday.

This new Cartier watch tells time backwards

Turn back time with the new Santos

Cartier Rewind on wrist

Wristwatches may be distinctly masculine pieces of hardware now, thanks to some very popular people in pop culture and in our own history adopting them. British super spy James Bond, movie stars, and athletes are the people we look up to who wear watches that catch our eye. Soldiers, cops, firefighters, and first responders wear watches they trust to ensure they can save lives. Pilots and divers created an entire industry around watches specifically designed for their vocations. And the very first pilot's watch was none other than a Cartier watch.

Alberto Santos-Dumont was a pioneer in the flight world and was one of the first people on Earth to achieve air travel. He was a competitor of the Wright Brothers, and, depending on the source, he preceded them in flight. In any case, the French celebrity went to Louis Cartier, another pioneer of his craft, and procured a square timekeeper meant for the wrist. The Cartier Santos Dumont was born. Over a century later, Cartier attended Watches and Wonders and presented the newest in the line of Santos watches, one that reverses time.

You can’t get these SNXS-inspired Seiko watches in the U.S. (yet)

Seiko SNXS is back with 3 new watches

Seiko 5 Sports SNXS Series watches

Throwing it back to the early days of Seiko, the latest edition to the Seiko 5 Sports lineup pays homage to a beloved icon of the brand: the Seiko SNXS. However, this time, it's a modern interpretation, and fans will love it. The SRPK series features the SPRK87 with a blue dial, the SRPK89 in black, and the SRPK91 in ivory. Despite the seemingly basic colors and simple design, these new pieces breathe new life into the original. These new watches are all about the classic Seiko design elements that fans of the brand appreciate, with some modern features like 100-meter water resistance that bring it into this year.
Seiko SNXS has officially returned

Seiko made history in 1963 when they introduced the Sportsmatic 5, Japan's first automatic day-date. The Seiko 5 quickly shot up in popularity as it was crafted with a stainless steel case and bracelet, had water and shock resistance, and featured tons of practical functions while still being affordable. It debuted during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, meaning it was put on the map globally (pun intended), and by 1966, Seiko 5 exports surpassed the collective output of automatic watches from Switzerland.
