Nicks Boots releases new boots

While heritage boots have become more popular in recent seasons, brands like Nicks Handmade Boots have been at the forefront of quality craftsmanship for years. Known for its premium material and construction, Nicks Boots is no stranger to going above and beyond to create the ultimate design. In their latest collaboration, the brand has partnered with Horween Leather Company for a heritage boot that’s anything but new. By perfecting a formula that dates back to the 1900s, both brands have created the ultimate boot that embodies old-fashioned craftsmanship. While the overall design and composition of the boot appear traditional, the use of contemporary techniques meshed with a classic formula is the ultimate recipe for success.

While Nicks Handmade Boots is renowned for their heritage boot collection, Horween Leather Company is equally lauded for their high-quality leather, allowing them to become the exclusive leather supplier for NFL footballs. With this combination, there’s no doubt the result would be timeless and full of quality. Crafted with Spokane Leather, an offshoot of a previous leather construction created in the 1900s, the Overlander boot dons a unique leather appearance that’s equally durable and sleek. Over time, the Overlander boot is meant to patina, meaning it’ll only look better with use. For those who tend to stroll in rough terrain, the Overlander boot also has an optional Vibram outsole for extra grip. Available for $609 via Nicks Boots’ website, the standard lead time for the boot ranges from 18 to 35 weeks. Although the traditional look of the Overlander boots may seem familiar, the indescribable quality of the craftsmanship and construction of this partnership is far above the rest.

MING’s newest watch has a dial made of pewter
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Get ready for something interesting with the newest release from MING — a limited edition built around a material almost nobody uses in watchmaking.

The big selling point for the new drop from the Swiss-Malaysian independent watchmaker is a dial made with hand-hammered pewter. In case you didn’t know (and I certainly didn’t), pewter is a tin-based alloy strengthened with small amounts of copper and antimony.

Luminox’s latest Navy SEAL watch hides a message in the dark
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Luminox just released the Navy SEAL 3500 “Semper-Fortis,” a limited edition built around a message that only fully reveals itself once the sun goes down.

That new release is a big boy — a 45mm watch built on Luminox’s Navy SEAL 3500 series. It keeps the collection’s turtle-shaped case but also integrates more features from CARBONOX, the brand’s lightweight composite, than any Navy SEAL model before it: the case, the unidirectional rotating bezel, and bracelet are all built from it.

This under-the-radar German brand just dropped a slick new dive watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Hanhart doesn’t get talked about nearly enough, so here’s a quick backstory: they’re a German brand out of Gütenbach in the Black Forest, they put the first single-button chronograph into series production back in 1938, and a year later they built pilot’s chronographs for the German Air Force. That red pusher button is still on their watches today.

That’s a real, foundational place in watchmaking history; it’s the kind of lore that other brands build entire marketing campaigns around. Somehow, Hanhart still flies under most people’s radar, but their new Aquasphere Matte Black is an argument that folks should be paying attention.
