True gearheads probably scanned a wide range of Rolex rumor reports last week, patiently watching rumors transform to teasers to the latest absolutely-confirmed announcement of the Yacht-Master 42. The ‘de facto successor to the titanium Deepsea Challenge’ is a full-titanium timepiece made with RLX titanium; a material the brand defines as ‘a grade 5 titanium alloy specially selected by Rolex.’ Boasting a monochromatic black dial and bezel, the watch is billed as ‘sailing-oriented’ and expected to retail for about $14,600.

These Chef Knives Are Made with a Proprietary Blade Steel
STEELPORT Knife Co. has made a name for itself with its high-end chef knives. Each blade is made with the company’s proprietary version of 52100 carbon steel. Co-founder Eytan Zias emphasizes that the heat-treated steel is (to his knowledge) the only 52100 to achieve 65HRC, meaning it’s set up for stronger edge retention. As it stands, the company currently offers two chef knives, a four-inch paring knife, 10-inch bread knife and 10-inch slicing knife.

Seavees dropped a pair of recycled rubber clogs you’ll want to spend all spring in.

They boast an ultra-grooved, heeled outsole that makes them great for muddy terrain, and 10 percent of every sale goes to The Ecology Center, a regenerative organic farm and education center in SoCal. So what are you waiting for? Slip these clogs on before trudging through the garden or simply heading down the street to a more city-centric oasis; i.e. the bodega.
