HamiltonHamilton X-Wind Auto Chrono
Introduced in 2005, Hamilton’s W-Wind was the world’s first watch to feature a drift-angle calculator. Designed in collaboration with aerobatic champion Nicholas Ivanoff, the sliding scale assists pilots with correcting for crosswinds during flight. Two separate scales are built into the chapter ring, which are adjusted by rotating the crowns at two and four o’clock. A third scale on the bi-directional rotating bezel is required to complete calculations. Hamilton introduces a brilliant new blue dial color to the automatic chronograph version of the X-Wind. It is powered by the Hamilton caliber H-21 automatic movement with a 12-hour totalizer, a day-date complication and a 60-hour power reserve.
Toor KnivesToor Knives Myers
Boasting a 9.5-inch blade with a 5-inch handle, Toor Knives’ Myers is a formidable chef’s blade fit for even professional kitchens. That goes a step further, too, when you look at its materials: a G10 handle and a MagnaCut super steel blade. Combining these rugged, high-performance materials with precision manufacturing and balanced specs, this could be the last kitchen knife you ever need.
DickiesDickies Tradebuilt Shirt Jacket
The new “Tradebuilt” line from Dickies offers rugged performance, for an appealing price. The Tradebuilt Shirt Jacket is constructed from durable duck canvas with just enough stretch thrown in for ideal mobility in tough environments. A brushed mesh lining on the interior keeps things breezy and breathable, while the DWR finish keeps moisture and mist at bay.
KizikKizik London AT Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot
The original hands-free footwear brand cracked the GP100 last year with its first hiking boots. The follow-up is a more streamlined and versatile take on all-terrain kicks, complete with ballistic nylon, a waterproof membrane, a durable lugged outsole and a cushy dual-density foam midsole. As always, Kizik’s patented step-in technology makes these as easy to slip into as a pair of, well, slippers. The London is available for both men and women in a couple of colorways and a range of sizes.
