Vosteed Refines and Elevates One of Its Most Popular Blades with a Premium Touch

After listening to customer feedback, Vosteed decided to take its fan-favorite Marten folding knife and beef it up a bit into a bigger version, the Marten 330. Now measuring 7.52 inches overall (with a 3.3-inch blade), it’s more friendly to larger grips without losing any of the elements that made it such a great knife to begin with. In fact, some versions have even been further refined, such as the new criss-cross diamond aluminum pattern handle scales and gentle backspacer jimping.

Osprey’s new release reimagines modular carry with a unique, 2-in-1 design that makes travel a breeze. This 55 liter pack borrows from backpacking construction with its zip-away back panel, harness and hipbelt, adjustable torso length, breathable mesh materials and load-easing proprietary frame design, but adds a significant update: a detachable daypack for side quests and more efficient carry. The Farpoint 55 meets TSA restrictions (with the 15 liter daypack detached as a personal item) and its bluesign approved, PFAS-free, durable materials will stand up to whatever adventure you have planned next.

The modern-carry kings extend beyond their popular Mobile Wallet with a trio of streamlined, RFID-shielding options for EDC and travel use. Each item features PD’s TerraShell Ultra, a thin, flexible proprietary fabric valued for its abrasion resistance and sustained elasticity. The Everyday Billfold Wallet ($70) keeps your pocket bulk-free with space for 12 cards and 15 bills, while the Everyday Slim Wallet ($40) leans things out further with room for eight cards and several bills, plus a sneaky quick-access pull tab. Lastly, the Passport Wallet ($95) lets you stash two passports, eight cards and 15 bills in a sleek form factor with a pen slot (convenient for filling out those pesky customs forms). 

As its name suggests, the Leica Q3 Monochrom is a variant of the company’s 2023-released Q3 that captures only black-and-white photos and videos. The fixed-lens full-frame digital camera has the same specs as the Q3, including a 60-megapixel sensor, support for 8K video, a hybrid autofocus system and an electronic viewfinder that flips and tilts. The only real differences are that it has a higher ISO range (maxing out at 200,000) and it’s the first Q-series camera to support Leica’s Content Credentials, which allow you to prove that an image hasn’t been altered. This monochrome upgrade comes at a premium, however, as it costs over $1,000 more than the color-capable Q3.

What’s the worst part of owning a perpetual calendar? Having to set all of the individual functions once the power reserve runs out, of course. To solve this very first-world problem, Audemars Piguet has teamed up with Dubai Future Labs to develop an intelligent watch box that not only winds the latest 41 mm Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar, but sets it too. Combining robotics with AI, the box begins its autonomous work once the lid is closed with the watch inside. From there, it determines which calendar functions are out of sync and uses the all-in-one crown setting system to make them right in a process that takes about five minutes in total. Currently, the box is just a prototype, but it could point to the future of watch maintenance.

Iron Heart is known for its top-shelf denim, but the Japanese brand is equally adept at adapting vintage American clothing — particularly US Military issue — with equal or higher quality than the original. This WWII-era US Navy N-1 Deck Jacket is a stitch-for-stitch replica, including a button storm flap, a throat latch, inset elastic cuffs, and slanted pockets. The major update is a long-pile alpaca fur lining that adds significant insulation and a cozy feel.

Maserati just refreshed the Grecale with its new Lumina Blu series. Designed as an appearance package to pay tribute to Italy’s reputation for craftsmanship and alluring aesthetics, the Grecale Lumina Blu series starts life as a Modena model with its 2.0-liter turbocharged mild-hybrid inline-four. The company’s Fuoriserie customization firm then adds a bespoke blend of exterior and interior color combo choices, featuring pearlescent paint, not otherwise available on regular Grecale models. Yellow brake calipers and Trident badges further distinguish the Lumina Blu series from the rest of the pack, along with 21-inch Pegaso wheels.
