Sternglas’ new Bauhaus dive watches blend elegance with 200m water resistance

These dive watches rival luxury brands in elegance

By Triston Brewer Published August 10, 2025

The new Marus 2.0 watch — Sternglas

German precision and technical excellence are front and center with the latest release from microbrand Sternglas. Their iconic Bauhaus aesthetic is featured in the Marus 2.0 divers, two gorgeous timepieces that combine minimalist design with water resistance of up to 200 meters. Two refined variants are in this collection — a striking navy blue and a classic matte black — each housed stainless steel cases of 39.5mm with a sleek, brushed finish. The watches’ clean dials are a tribute to Bauhaus core principles of form following function, while the superluminova-coated markers and hands ensure legibility in the ocean’s darkest depths.

A masterclass in accessible luxury and precision engineering

Powered by Miyota 8315 automatic movement, the Marus 2.0 Divers offer 60-hour power reserves and superb accuracy, all wrapped up in a design that transitions with ease from boardroom to coral reef. The unidirectional ceramic bezel delivers the precise dive-time tracking collectors have come to expect from the brand, and the double-domed sapphire crystal elevates durability without compromising the watch’s sleek profile. Wearers have the option of combining with either a textured rubber strap or three-link steel bracelet. Either way, these luxury watches are a shining example of Sternglas’ ability to deliver Swiss-level sophistication at an affordable price point.

The Sternglas Marus 2.0 Divers prove that less can indeed be more

The Marus 2.0 Divers are available at an attractive price point for luxury dive watches that will be impossible to beat, with the dynamics of merging German precision with classic design among the key drawing points for this edition. For collectors in search of understated brilliance, the Marus 2.0 demonstrates how thoughtful craftsmanship can transcend price tags.

The ‘Dad Reset’ is on the horizon: Megan Collins leads the charge

Men are taking ownership over what they wear and the founder of Style Girlfriend is here to help

Person, Sitting, Adult

One of the most frustrating moments in any man's style journey is when your wardrobe starts to feel stale. No matter what you do, you feel like everything you put on is old, boring, or tired. You try to switch it up. You pair it differently. It just lost its luster. The truth is, it happens to all of us. But the people who struggle with it the most are middle-aged men. With a specific focus on dads. Middle-aged men are too young to resign themselves to not caring about their look anymore. They are too old to dive into the trends with the changing of the fashion winds. So many of them throw in the towel. Add to that overwhelming feeling being a busy father, and there is just no way to spend the time and energy on rebuilding a wardrobe. That is where Megan Collins comes in. Her business, Style Girlfriend, takes men and restores their confidence from the ground up with new, elevated, and evolved stylistic choices.

When you have one outfit you love, you wear it. When you wear it, you notice how much better you feel. Then, you want another outfit that gives you that same feeling. That's how confidence builds. Not all at once, but one good decision at a time. - Megan Collins, Founder, Style Girlfriend

Shinola’s new blacked-out Mackinac Night Race revives a rare sailing complication

The Detroit brand's new limited edition puts a one-of-a-kind forged carbon dial on a yacht timer — the countdown built for sailboat starts.

Wristwatch, Arm, Rope

Shinola has made watches about Detroit, about the Apollo program, and about a lake monster. Its newest one is about a sailboat race, and damn, is it good-looking.

The Detroit-based brand is launching the Mackinac Night Race, a limited edition built around the yacht timer — the countdown complication used to time the start of a sailing race, aka one of watchmaking's more specialized tricks. The name nods to the Great Lakes maritime history the watch draws on (so not technically an official race tie-in).

The West is a statement look with TAFT’s new edit

TAFT Longhorn collection gives you a stylish look with a little western flare

Clothing, Footwear, Shoe

One of the most iconic ways a man can stand out is to make a statement with his style. Now, this isn't as easy as it sounds. Most of the time, if a man doesn't know what he is doing when he goes to make a statement, he goes overboard. Colors, patterns, textures, they can all work together or battle each other out for attention and cause problems. For instance, wearing a bright color combined with a crazy pattern can make you look more like an optical illusion than a stylish man. You look like you are cosplaying The Joker instead of methodically piecing together pieces that are working together to give an outfit depth. One of the tricks I have always loved to incorporate with my looks is a statement shoe. A typical everyday outfit can be elevated easily with a shoe standing out with color or pattern. One of my favorite brands to go to when I want to do that is TAFT. They are the best in the game for a statement shoe, and their new edit is a way to capitalize on that idea.
