This Iconic Dive Watch Reissue Mimics a Highly Coveted Feature

Stepping back more than three decades, Panerai pays tribute to one of the most memorable releases in its modern history, the 1993 Luminor (ref. 5218-202/A). This distinguished diver not only signaled the 165-year-old brand’s shift from military staples to civilian status symbols but also carried a production bug that became a feature. A batch of roughly 30 timepieces with luminous dials and tritium-painted hands had an inconsistency in the varnish that caused the tones to age at different rates, creating a mismatched look that collectors came to covet. Among several nods to the original, including a 44mm (now DLC-coated) steel case and a golden brown calf leather strap, the new watch recreates the happy accident with caramel Super-LumiNova on the engraved monolayer matte black dial, paired with hands in a lighter hue. Water resistant up to 300 meters, the PAM05218 is powered by the P.6000 calibre — a hand-wound movement with a three-day power reserve. Making its debut in boutiques this month, this transcendent timepiece is available upon request.

Along with a slick facelifted design and some fresh interior options, Lexus has given the IS impactful tweaks in the steering and suspension.

Nearly five years after announcing Spotify Hi-Fi, the music streaming giant is finally introducing lossless-quality tracks. However, it’s not called Spotify Hi-Fi, and it’s not a more expensive subscription tier. Instead, Spotify is making these lossless tracks — up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz — to current Premium subscribers at no extra cost. The company says it’ll be rolling out this update over the next two months. Once available, you’ll get an in-app notification telling you that you can enable these lossless-quality tracks (via Settings and navigating to Media Quality) to start listening to them.

Snow Peak’s ultra-functional (and style-forward) denim is crafted with a blend of cotton and Kanecaron, a synthetic material which offers high flame resistance. Inspired by US Army baker and carpenter trousers, the pants feature front patch pockets, tool pockets, hammer loops, and reinforced backing on the knees and backside. Plus, the classic silhouette brings a ridiculously high amount of style to any campsite.

Crafted from proprietary Polartec Micro Fleece fabric, this fleece is incredibly lightweight, soft and breathable. However, it’s also tough and durable — enough that you could wear it hiking, camping, skiing, trail running and more. However, it also boasts refined, tailored-like styling that makes other fleeces in its class — even those made by outdoor giant Patagonia — practically frumpy by comparison. If you don’t like the half-zip style (and prefer more breathability), it also comes in a full-zip jacket.
