Getting The Inside Scoop — Fall 2013

By

We know that some stores can be intimidating to walk into. They can seem pretentious, too cool, or straight-up confusing (where is the men’s section please?!). Scoop eradicated the tension of shopping in 1996, when they opened their first store in New York City.  They were merchandised as the “Ultimate Closet”, and have been so successful that they have 15 stores across the country. Their website and stores feature a highly edited selection of the season’s best looking duds, so it is a great one stop shop for various brands.  They feature both internationally acclaimed and young emerging designers, that include:  Rag & Bone, John Varvatos, J Brand, Etro, Paul Smith, Stone Island, Moncler, Tailor Vintage, J. Lindberg, and AG Jeans.

Scoop is also well known for their customer service. Whether it’s helping you find awesome items for the season, or building that “ultimate closet”, their sales associates/stylists, can make that happen.

Longines introduces bright white dial to Legend Diver collection
Classic evolution: Longines legend diver's white dial honors 66-year diving heritage
Longines legend diver white dial

Longines introduces a striking matte white dial to its popular Legend Diver collection, marking a notable departure from the traditional black face while retaining the design that has defined the model for sixty-six years. This new variant joins a lineup of dial colors in the well-liked 39mm case size.
The Legend Diver’s history dates back to Longines’ first dive watch from 1959, which featured a super compressor case. This design used gaskets that became more watertight as depth increased, allowing the original to reach about 400 feet. The watch also included a unique 60-minute internal rotating bezel, operated by a second crown to prevent accidental adjustments during dives.
This heritage remains strong in today’s models. The new white dial version preserves the vintage-inspired look and function, while offering a fresh, eye-catching appearance.
The 39mm stainless steel case remains compact, measuring just 12.7mm thick—smaller than most modern dive watches, making it comfortable for a variety of wrist sizes and occasions. Water resistance has been upgraded from the original’s 400 feet to 1,000 feet, meeting contemporary professional diving standards and reinforcing its status as a true tool watch.
The dial is monochromatic, with raised hour markers and hands filled with green luminescent material and outlined in black for excellent readability in all lighting conditions—an essential feature for underwater timekeeping.
Inside, the watch is powered by the ETA-based Longines L888.6 automatic movement, which provides reliable three-hand timekeeping, a silicon balance spring, and a 72-hour power reserve. This modern movement delivers current performance while maintaining the simplicity that defines the Legend Diver.
The bracelet features polished “beads of rice” links down the center for both visual appeal and comfort. Additional strap options include new blue or black rubber bands, allowing for versatility from professional diving to everyday wear.
With the addition of the white dial, the Legend Diver collection now offers blue, black, brown, grey, and green dials—all in the popular 39mm size. This expanded range demonstrates how classic designs can remain relevant and desirable through thoughtful updates rather than drastic changes.

The summer is here. The spring showers have given way to the hot days, and that means it is time to start wearing clothing that protects you from the sweltering temperatures with a new summer wardrobe. And it also means that great summer vacations are on the horizon, and you need something to pack that will look great and keep you comfortable. For us, that means men's shorts are top of the pile for the next 12-15 weeks. Whether we're looking for something to wear around the house, out and about on errands, or something to keep us comfortable while exploring new places outside the office, a great pair of men's shorts is essential for our summer.

But these are not just any old pair of cut-off pants that we can wear. No, we have to put some thought into the shorts.
