Dive watches with striking dials, Vans' latest sneaker collection and more awesome style and watch drops await.
The weekend starts with (hopefully) more clement weather and cool gear to match it. Watches dropped this week were overwhelmingly sporty, with divers and chronographs aplenty from big and small brands alike. Meanwhile, selvedge jeans from Todd Snyder, a new collection from Vans and high-end sunglasses further have us in the mood for Spring.
Presented by Moral Code
For the brand's first ever collaboration, Moral Code has partnered with Donald Driver — all-time leading receiver, hall of famer and Dancing with the Stars champion — to launch a collection of five different shoes. The first is a leather fashion sneaker called The Purpose. In addition to its streamlined appearance, The Purpose features a premium padded leather liner for breathability, Driver's signature red tab on the tongue and understated stitch detailing throughout the shoe. Plus, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Donald Driver Foundation, which helps young men understand the importance of dressing for success and supporting career development initiatives for underserved children and families.

One of our favorite makers of tool watches partnered with one of our favorite gear retailers on a new version of the Zodiac Super Sea Wolf dive watch.

One of the few makers of genuinely legit military watches has released a new variation of its most famous model, the GSAR. Though perhaps not quite as stealthy as the classic black dial, a new white dial version should be highly legible and functional. Doesn't hurt that it's got a Swiss automatic movement and a handsome look, too.

The Italian brand Unimatic is known for its design-centric interpretation of classic tool watch styles, but also for interesting collaborations. The latest is a version of its minimalist dive watch produced with outerwear maker Norwegian Rain featuring a striking dial. The effect is achieved by a layer of oxidized copper with cutouts that reveal a solid copper layer beneath.

An evolution of the brand's unique touchscreen outdoor watch, the new T-Touch Connect Solar is one of the only smartwatches with solar charging. (It's even more interesting since many of the technologies and features are proprietary to Tissot and Swatch Group, including its operating system.) Equipped with a "disconnect" function (I like the sound of that), it can easily go back to being a regular touchscreen-equipped, solar-charging, rugged outdoor watch.

If you know watchmaker Junghans, you likely associate the German brand with minimalist, formally styled watches of a Bauhaus persuasion. This one is so different from most of what the brand is known for that it almost feels out of character. Based on a sporty '70s aesthetic, it features a dive-ready 300m of water-resistance, and the colorful inner bezel can be rotated to help track another time zone.

Breitling teamed up with the Australian motorbike and surfing lifestyle company Deus Ex Machina on a tribute to the Top Time watch from the 1960s. It's got a very retro feel up front with a panda dial and pops of orange, and the case back features a motorcycle motif designed by Deus.
