Gift Guide: Gant Rugger Watches

By

Gant Rugger (the little brother of Gant) has launched their first wristwatch just in time for the holiday season. The three styles are based on classic diving watches of the 1970’s such as the Rolex Submariners, OMEGA Speedmasters and the Tag Heuer Octavias. “It felt like the only thing missing to really complete the distinct GANT Rugger look that we have worked to perfect these past seasons,” explains GANT Creative Director Christopher Bastin.

The watches are stainless steel with Plexiglas crystal domes and an epoxy coated rotatable bezel. The mesh strap reflects the vintage roots of the line. We love the washed military canvas gift box the watch comes in almost as much as the watch itself.

Added bragging points: The watches are launching exclusively in the U.S. and will not be sold anywhere else until Spring 2013. Retail ($225)

Introduced in 1953, the Rolex Submariner is recognized as the first purpose-built dive watch on the market, boasting water resistance up to 100 meters. In addition to this amazing feature, Submariner Rolex watches also come equipped with other extras that I particularly appreciate, including rotating 60-minute timing bezels, stainless steel cases, stainless steel three-link Oyster bracelets, black dials, and black bezels.

The earliest editions of Rolex Submariner watches featured 37 mm steel cases, no crown guards around the winding crowns, and radium-based luminescence. Eight references were manufactured during this initial phase of the series, ranging in water depth ratings, crown sizes, and dial styles. These early experimentation models only ensured that Rolex perfected a formula that combined elegance and precision. Are you ready to enter the world of Rolex Submariner? Here, we break down the full details of the iconic series.

Ask author and menswear expert David Coggins what makes a good bag, and he'll likely tell you it's about more than just carrying your gear — it “announces your relationship to function and style." That's why he partnered with iconic leather goods maker Ghurka to create his version of the ideal carryall: the new, limited-edition Field Tote No. 296.

Launched just last week, this rugged yet refined bag pays tribute to Ghurka’s dedication to producing high-quality leather goods and Coggins's love for traditional design. The practical yet thoughtful design elements, like the leather flap closure and zip pocket, give it a classic yet functional feel. And right now, you can pre-order it on Ghurka's website.

In recent seasons, it has been evident that Clarks has been stepping up its collaborations. With one-of-a-kind partnerships, the renowned British brand is seeking collaborations with other brands to revitalize and modernize its iconic silhouettes. In their latest adventure, the brand turns to JiyoungKim, a previous collaborator, to help bring a new look to the iconic Wallabee and Desert Trek silhouettes. After working together in a sold-out collaboration in September of last year, there was no doubt that this new collection would be another marvel. Not to disappoint, the pair has launched a new look for the Wallabee and Desert Trek shoes, which takes months to put together. Utilizing the renowned sun-bleaching technique of the South Korean designer, the latest collaborative shoe is nothing short of extraordinary. For the lucky few who get their hands on these new shoes, you will be pleased to know that no pair is the same, and all don a unique sun-bleaching look that’s worthy of praise.
