Thanks to the smart pairing of undeniable functionality and daring aesthetic, Victorinox Swiss Army knives have garnered quite the reputation since the brand got its start over 130 years ago. And that reputation will certain get a boost on March 18 when Victorinox Swiss Army releases its most luxurious interpretation of the Swiss army knife yet: A limited edition Alox silhouette in “champagne gold.”

Swiss-based and born, Victorinox is best known for its pocket knives, but it also produces high-quality household and professional knives, watches, travel gear, and fragrances. Today, however, it’s about the tried and true.

The Victorinox Swiss Army Limited Edition Collection in Champagne Gold

If you’re not up to date with the limited edition Alox collection, you may have heard about its silver edition released last year that sold out faster than you could say “pocket knife.” Nonetheless, Victorinox’s limited edition Alox is back in champagne gold with three sizes, a distinctive rubbed surface for enhanced style and grip, and personalized tools to cater to your needs.

The scales of each gold swiss army knife are punched from aluminium, embossed, and then anodized for its finished appearance. The process uses a sturdy, anodic oxidation that forms a protective layer over the finished outer layer to prevent damage and corrosion, as well as gives the scales its color.

We recommend you hop on this one now because we’re pretty sure each of these knives will sell out quick.

Don’t blame the jacket: The black leather jacket is having a moment for all the wrong reasons; here are our editors’ 5 favorites
Clothing, Coat, Jacket

Look, I love a good leather jacket. As a matter of fact, I think this is one of the number one things you should have in your wardrobe. Now, if you have been living in a barn for the last few weeks, you may not know why this is a topic of conversation at the moment. However, if the name Jensen rings a bell, you understand why the black leather jacket is having a bit of a moment. I love that the black leather jacket is having a moment, but not for the reason it is. Even though it is often attributed to “the bad boy,” he isn’t quite what we meant.

The 5 watches to help celebrate with your former soldier: Happy Veterans Day
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

I always wake up on Veterans Day with thoughts of the men and women I served with right after 9/11. While I had my favorites, the ones I connected with due to standing at a gate for 18 hours checking IDs, patrolling the base for drunks and, sometimes, more serious crimes, and sleeping on the ground on field training exercises, every one of them stays with me. Brave, generous, and ready to give anything they are asked of, these people deserve to be remembered on Veterans Day. That is why I immediately thought of my favorite military-inspired watches. A reminder of the times I spent with them: both chasing drunks and being one of the drunks. If you feel inclined to get a start on holiday shopping for that brave veteran in your life, here are the watches that will make them think fondly of their time in the service.

A watch is a tool, but it’s also a symbol — a symbol of precision, responsibility, and the weight of time. – 18th-century English watchmaker and inventor
