In 1938, Oris introduced the Big Crown Pointer Date timepiece. Built for pilots, it had an oversized crown so that glove-wearing airmen could easily adjust it. It also included an uncommon complication: a date indicated by a central pointer hand.
To celebrate the 80th anniversary of this pioneering timepiece, Oris has created the Big Crown Pointer Date 80th Anniversary Edition in a beautiful bronze case. The 40mm case, fluted bezel and oversized crown are all cast in bronze for a distinct look that will patinate over time. A striking green dial and dark brown leather strap complement the bronze, and of course, the Oris 754 movement features the automatic winding pointer date just like the original. Eighty years is celebrated well in this watch that gives a unique perspective on the passing of time.

Only a few motorcycle jackets can claim to accomplish that — the Watson goes one step further with removable waterproof and thermal linings making it an ideal jacket for three out of the four seasons. Even at its regular price of $450 you’d certainly get your money’s worth, but today the Watson is 33%, which saves you $150. — Bryan Campbell

Save 50$Eddie Bauer sends its athletes and influencers out on the mountains, in the backcountry and all over places that have some of the most extreme weather.

The BC EverTherm jacket uses Thindown, a fabric technology Eddie Bauer developed last year to make its coats lighter and warmer.
