The timepiece All-Star team in Timex x Todd Snyder are at it again with a stunning military watch that blends retro and modern into one.

On February 9, Americana-inspired menswear designer Todd Snyder released his latest beauty with the collaborative Timex x Todd Snyder Military Watch. The collaboration channels inspiration from other rare, vintage Timex watches, and other military timepieces from the ’60s and ’70s.

The two together have truly curated a watch that evokes a shared commitment to stellar design, high-utility and careful craftsmanship. This past summer, the brands created the Timex x Todd Snyder Mod, an eye-catching watch that meshed old school motifs with a focus on military timekeeping — these sold out incredibly fast, and we expect their new timepiece to attract the same popularity.

The color scheme stands out right away, as the dial pays direct tribute to a military version of the ‘Viscount Automatic’ from the late ’70s and other rare pieces in the Timex archive. Although it’s rooted strongly in tradition, the timepiece is paired with a sleek silver-tone case and olive drab nylon strap for a pristine, modern silhouette.

This approach to watch-making is nothing new to Snyder, but it’s always admirable to the consumer. His goal is to take the best of traditional American menswear and transform it into a unique and fresh product that has modern appeal. With the Timex x Todd Snyder Military Watch, he did just that.

Powered by a reliable quartz movement, the watch features Timex’s patented Indiglo illumination. It’s available now for $138 at ToddSnyder’s official site and Todd Snyder’s flagship store on Madison Square North in New York.

People flock to the left coast, hoping to explore the beaches and sunny weather.

Taylor Stitch channels their Yellowstone aura with this year’s western shirt

Emulate your favorite Dutton in a fan favorite

Taylor Stitch Western Shirt Jacket

We don't know why, but we assume it is because we have been watching the new season of Yellowstone. Whatever the reason, we are seeing Western-style infiltrate every corner of men's style, and Taylor Stitch is doing its part. Whether you go for workwear or outerwear, there is always something for you to use functionally, along with the fashion. One of our favorite shirts is the western shirt, and there is a new one landing this season that will make Rip Wheeler envious while driving cattle. The Taylor Stitch Western Shirt Jacket is the perfect mix between function and fashion and makes you feel right at home in the bunkhouse or on the trail.
Fan favorite takes you to the Dutton Ranch

The western shirt is a fan favorite look that seems to pop up every year. But this year's iteration just seems to have a bit more of a punch to it. Maybe it is because of the Duttons, maybe not. But this year, Taylor Stitch brings out a version that looks perfect for the ranch, and is equally stylish enough for the bar and tough enough for the ropin pen. Let's just hope it never has to visit the train station.
