With wildfires raging across the country, the nation’s firefighters have never been more important. To support firefights, the beer brand Coors Banquet will be running a program to support firefighter organizations throughout August.

The brand’s Protect Our Protectors program includes limited edition packaging which has a QR code that customers can use to make donations to their local firefighting organizations. The program also includes a line of merchandise made with apparel brand Seager, a portion of the sales from which will be donated to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation.

The merch includes shirts, hat, and socks will imagery and logos inspired by firefighters, as Seager is known for its outdoor gear and rugged workwear. Extra items like work gloves will also be coming to the brands’ online stores soon, while most items can be purchased from the Seager site now.

“As wildfire season continues to grow longer, it’s more important than ever to support the brave few who run towards the fire,” said a Coors Banquet spokesperson. “As a brand with roots in wildfire country, we know firsthand how important it is to support the firefighters who have done so much to protect their communities.”

Coors Banquet says it has donated more than $2.5 million to firefighting organizations over the last 10 years, as a brand that hails from Golden, Colorado which is in the heart of wildfire country.

The Protect Our Protectors program also includes information on wildfires and their growing frequency and severity, with links to donate to state-specific organizations so you can support firefighters in your area.

Seiko Prospex 1968 Diver’s watch gets a refresh, and you’ll love it

All about the new Seiko Prospex

Anyone looking for a diver watch will ultimately land on Seiko. Some of the most prolific dive watches, Seiko’s Marinemaster pieces are historic and iconic in the category and remain the standard in the industry. With plenty of reinventions taking place all over, Seiko is taking the chance and giving their famed 1968 Diver a refresh just a year after restarting their Marinemaster series. In larger sizes, these two new watches are worthy successors to the Marinemaster series, and their contrasting hues and features are significant for any dive watch user.
The Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Diver SLA077 and SLA079

Bringing some new concepts into the Marinemaster, Seiko has released the SLA077 and SLA079 watches as follow-ups to their 2023 releases. Although they belong to the same collection, these two new pieces have much more water resistance and less sleekness making them more authentic as dive watches. Both pieces come in a stainless steel case with a 42.6mm size and 13.4mm thickness. Both SLA077 and SLA079 come with a black unidirectional rotating bezel and a detailed 60-minute scale. A LumiBrite pearl is placed on the 12 o’clock mark, and the screw-down crown is in the usual 4 o’clock spot. Most importantly for the dive watch, the water resistance on both versions reaches up to 300 meters.
