Aether, the renowned brand famed for its exceptional overlanding and off-road gear, has recently ventured into the world of luxury timepieces with an impressive collaboration that is definitely raising some eyebrows in interest. Teaming up with Bamford London, Aether has unveiled its first-ever watch, a limited-edition Swiss Automatic GMT, designed to cater to discerning gentlemen seeking both style and utility.

The timepiece is truly a sight to behold, featuring a captivating matte black case embellished with elegant blue and white accents. Made of corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel, this watch is wind and water-resistant up to a depth of 100 meters.  The dial of the watch showcases a topographic-inspired pattern, adding a touch of adventurous spirit to its sophisticated appearance. Embracing versatility, Aether and Bamford have chosen a deep blue NATO-style strap that complements the overall design and ensures that the watch can effortlessly transition from formal gatherings to outdoor escapades. Not only that, but the military-grade strap is breathable and won’t slide all over the wrist, meaning one can run a board meeting or hike in the Swiss Alps with ease. This extraordinary timepiece caters to the modern man who values both craftsmanship and adventure,  transitioning from city streets to off-the-beaten-path excursions.

If you’re a WWII history buff, you’ll love these field boots from Viberg
Viberg debuts authentic N-1 Field Boots
Viberg N1 Field Boots

If you consider yourself a history buff with your Netflix history full of World War II documentaries and "Band of Brothers" on repeat, then we've got your next shoe purchase from Viberg ready to go. But first, a little backstory. N-1 Field Shoes were often called "boondockers" which originated from the Tagalog word "bundok" meaning mountain. They became a crucial part of the American military uniform during World War II, and were specifically designed for the U.S. Navy.
N-1 Field Shoes: A history

The N-1 Field Shoes were exceptionally sturdy, made from steer hide suede, and hand treated with dubbin to give them water resistance and durability. They featured a rubber and cord sole that gave them excellent traction in various terrains and were extremely practical in harsh conditions, both combat and weather-wise. In the past, the soles were made from recycled car tires and surplus nylon, which was a strategy implemented to conserve resources during wartime material shortages. They remained popular after the war, and are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance.

Fans of the Breitling brand will know that the Avenger collection is all about modern sleekness that rivals the classic and quieter watches from previous lines.

Inspired by all things aviation, the Avenger collection is a must-have for one who wants a sleek and robust timepiece. Although the current Avenger timepieces are enticing, the newest additions to the collection are also eye-catching. Overall, the Avenger collection pays respects to all things aviation and military. However, this time around, Breitling is paying homage to the U.S. Navy, and it is an incredible addition to the Avenger lineup. 
Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Mission 

For Breitling’s Navy-inspired tie-in, the brand has set forth three new timepieces that give a subtle nod to naval history. With three aptly named pieces, Naval Academy, USN Bloodhounds, and USN Dust Devils, the newest Avenger watches have a 44mm black ceramic case and Breitling’s B01 chronograph. With a 70-power reserve, the B01 chronograph is COSC-certified and has a column-wheel, and vertical clutch. A decidedly larger watch, there’s no doubt that not everyone will be a fan of the bigger size.

Like peanut butter and jelly, most things come in pairs, but what about threes? It's a short list, with the likes of The Three Little Pigs, and the Three Musketeers, but not much else. Audemars Piguet clearly wants to change this as they've recently introduced a trio of Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked models.
Audemars Piguet: Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked models

The brand previously introduced a 37mm edition as well as several other 41mm models, and now their newest drop features 41mm models in steel, black ceramic, and 18K yellow gold, all with highly contrasted dials. They feature twin balance wheels, as the name would suggest, not only for precise timekeeping but also for aesthetic purposes — which these days are as important as the tech specs for prospective buyers. Although they weren't a pioneer in double balance mechanisms, Audemars Piguet took an innovative approach by arranging two balance wheels and hairsprings on a single axis, ensuring weight distribution.
