We all love to get out into the great outdoors. Experiencing all that Mother Nature has to offer by escaping the stresses of work, family, or even the holidays. However, as the weather changes and temperatures drop, it gets harder and harder to make these little nature escapes happen. That is unless you have the right gear. Oakley released their Japan Field Gear line back in March, and now they are dropping more of the collection for the Fall 2024 season to help you get out of the office and into the world of the great outdoors.

“From the city streets to the muddy trails, the Field Gear Line balances function and design for a range of outdoor wear,” the brand said back during the spring release. “Japanese craftsmanship shines through in the collection, showcasing technical excellence, elevated trims, and performance-oriented fit.”

Of course, the collection isn’t only fit for the great outdoors, as many of the garments will serve you just as well in guarding you from the unpredictable spring and fall weather. There are a few standouts in the collection, both of which are perfect for your inner-city or outer-wilderness excursions:

  • FGL 3L Refined Coat 1.7: A waterproof, wind-resistant coat offering advanced protection against the elements.
  • FGL Puffer Ins Vest 1.7: A lightweight, insulated vest designed for warmth without bulk.

The collection was first available for purchase across APAC, EMEA, and North America in the spring. With the collection expanding for the fall, we can all enjoy top-notch Japanese craftsmanship.

Christopher Nolan and Hamilton made a bronze watch fit for The Odyssey
Hamilton and Christopher Nolan team up again, with a bronze field watch for timed for the debut of The Odyssey.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Here's a first for a company that's spent decades sticking its watches into movies: this one was built for a film it can never actually appear in. That's the twist on the Khaki Field Auto The Odyssey Limited Edition, Hamilton's latest team-up with Christopher Nolan tied to his upcoming epic The Odyssey (in theaters July 17).

Since the film is set in the Bronze Age, it's pretty unlikely that anybody was wearing a wristwatch. For us in the modern age, though, the new watch's 42mm case is bronze (it'll develop its own patina over time). The black dial looks like Odysseus's helmet; there are a pair of sword-shaped hands in bronze, and the 12 o'clock index is modeled on a rivet from the scabbard. You get the idea. Meanwhile, the titanium case back is engraved with the helmet and Nolan's signature.

VERO Watches drops a watch reminding you forest fire prevention is all you
VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies sends 10% of proceeds to prevent forest fires
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

VERO Watches is built to find the man who embraces his lineage. I am not talking about his nationality. I am not talking about his race or his heritage. I am talking about the lineage that brought us from the caves and the frontier to the more civilized and modernized world we recognize today. These are watches for explorers. These are watches for the man who ditches the cubicle and the office. The boardroom is a prison for our adventurous spirit, and VERO figured that out and is creating watches to help the man disappear from that existence to reclaim his place in the wilderness. Now that the dramatic part is over, I can tell you about the new drop featuring one of our favorite characters from our childhood, Smokey the Bear. The new VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies is set up to remind all of us of one single truth.

Preventing forest fires is your responsibility

Watches That Celebrate America
What makes an American watch today? We explore the brands keeping the country's horological tradition alive.
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

My first horological crushes were glamorous European supermodels with names like Cartier, Audemars Piguet, and Patek Philippe. As my tastes matured, the Far East captured my fancy when I discovered the restrained elegance of Naoya Hida, Grand Seiko, and Hajime Asaoka. But every rambling heart eventually finds its way home. Now, a seasoned chronophile, I'm head over heels for all-American beauties.

I sat down with American horology hero Cameron Weiss to learn about the history of Yankee watchmaking. After cutting his teeth at Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin, Cameron founded Weiss Watch Company, a trailblazer in the revival of American mechanical watchmaking. Cameron also hosts two of the internet’s most entertaining watch podcasts: Watch & Listen and The Watchmaker’s Workshop.
