This Minimalist Chrono Pays Tribute to the Good Ol’ Days of Analog Motoring

One of the more unconventional chronographs to hit the market in recent days, the Aera C-1 Chrono takes its inspiration from the golden age of motoring. However, it also turns the whole category on its head by offering one of the most minimalist displays of any chronograph watch currently on the market — and it owes its styling largely to the dash gauges of classic cars, like Porsches and Jaguars. Even its reverse panda color scheme is a tilted take on a classic. With its beefy case and unique styling, it might be a bit divisive, but its Swiss-made automatic movement may win over some folks.

Restomod expert Expedition Motor Company has added a LWB version of the droptop Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen to its lineup. Building on nearly a decade of expertise restoring the iconic Short Wheelbase (SWB) 250GD Wolf, the offering brings seating for up to eight, new seat designs and other refinements and the choice of proven powertrain options in a 275-horsepower diesel inline-six and a 430-horsepower LS3 V8.

House of Marley’s Soul Rebel is an affordable all-in-one turntable that comes with built-in stereo speakers and an Audio-Technica AT3600L stylus. It has Bluetooth for streaming when you’re not listening to vinyl, as well as RCA and auxiliary outputs for hooking the turntable up to larger hi-fi systems. That said, the most interesting thing about the turntable is the built-in lighting beneath its plinth, which is designed to help set the mood while you’re listening to records.

Trendy golf outfitter Malbon has its latest pop culture partner in the classic HBO comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm. On Curb, protagonist Larry David and his pals, like his manager Jeff — played by Jeff Garlin, who stars in Malbon’s new campaign — could frequently be found on the golf course. The collection includes a range of apparel featuring Larry’s catchphrase “Pretty, pretty, pretty good” and a logo inspired by his epic staredowns. There’s even a Curb-branded Remington Putter.

Few writers have produced definitive volumes on both style and fly fishing, so David Coggins is uniquely qualified to design a chukka boot that is rugged enough to handle backcountry trails and sufficiently refined for ‘Jacket Required’ dinner parties. The Outsider III is the third installment in the ongoing partnership between the author and Viberg, a renowned Canadian shoemaker. It is made with a light brown bison calf suede from the C.F. Stead tannery and features a wide apron toe with a three-eyelet chukka upper, finished with a piped edge. The leather stack midsole is attached with a storm welt for superior water resistance. It sits atop a Lactae Hevea Sawdust outsole, which blends a crepe-like material with tiny wood shavings for stability and a beautiful texture.

Boutique running brand District Vision and premium outerwear brand 66°North have teamed on a high-performance winter running capsule collection, with the Tindur Down Jacket as the standout piece. This $1,000 running jacket’s high price point symbolizes its high-performance engineering, inspired by the custom 66°North suit worn by the first Icelander to summit the north face of Everest in 2013, and designed for severe Arctic conditions. Gore-Tex Labs Windstopper face fabric, paired with 800 fill-power goose down, provide maximum warmth-to-weight efficiency and protection. Additional technical features include a detachable hood, extended collar, water-repellent finish, and a microfiber-lined eyewear pouch. Additional pouches are sourced from 66°North’s fishing heritage, and bringing notable past logos back to life.
