• In Space, No One Can See You Strut: Elon Musk shared on Instagram yesterday the first photo of SpaceX’s long-rumored commercial space flight suit. Musk said that more details are on the way, but confirmed that the suit actually works, adding that it was “incredibly hard to balance aesthetics and function.” That would make sense — the suit looks like something straight out of a blockbuster sci-fi film.

Today’s Gear
What’s New, Now
Zodiac Sea Wolf 53
Zodiac created this special-edition Sea Wolf 53 as a tribute to a rare colorway from its iconic ‘60s diver. The result, with its pale blue bezel and black and orange dial, is a dead-ringer for the original. The watch’s compact case — at just 40mm in diameter and 11mm thick — certainly helps bring that vision to light, as it calls to mind the smaller tool watches of the mid-20th century. But the movement is all new: an automatic STP 3-13, certified to the COSC’s stringent standards for accuracy. That’s a lot of watch for the money.
