The collection, however, remains multi-faceted and should prove useful to enthusiasts across the globe, the watchmaker said. “Whether a professional diver, a daring adventurer, or a connoisseur of finely crafted high-tech timepieces, these are watches defined by the shared passion for pushing the boundaries of what is possible,” Panerai emphasized.

Desert camouflage is the primary inspiration for the new offering, a quartet of watches that fall right in line with the watchmaker’s “mission to design durable and high-performance timepieces for extreme conditions.” The company’s partnership with the Navy SEALs runs deep, whether in the United States or Italy, including a luxury watch testing and training experience as well as its 2023 collection of Navy SEALs-inspired timepieces.

The collection includes the Submersible QuarantaQuattro Navy SEALs PAM01518 with a P.900 calibre movement, the Submersible QuarantaQuattro GMT Navy SEALs Carbotech PAM01513 (boasting a lightweight carbon composite case), the Submersible Navy SEALs Titanio PAM01669 (“tailored for the fearless adventurer”) and the Submersible Navy SEALs Titanio PAM01669 (outfitted with a beefy 47mm case).

Rigorous testing for pressure, water resistance and performance helped prove the mettle of each watch, putting these luxurious yet hard-wearing timepieces through their paces in extreme conditions, just as Navy SEALs themselves might face.

“Panerai has long held a steadfast commitment to crafting timepieces that embody the ideals of challenge, bravery, team spirit, and adrenaline,” the company said, and it appears this quarter of new additions (available via Panerai starting at $10,200) embodies that same spirit.

S.T. Dupont—renowned for its glamorous craftsmanship and luxury smoking accessories like this lighter that doubles as a skeleton watch—is partnering with high-fashion house Casablanca Paris for a stylish new collaboration. It’s just the latest fashionable release from the French lighter designers, which previously teamed up with a closet full of style giants, including Karl Lagerfeld, The Row, Saint Laurent and Franck Muller.

The newly unveiled partnership, dubbed “The Art of Sport,” celebrates the elegance and heritage of both brands. Casablanca, founded in 2018 by Charaf Tajer, is known for its luxe leisurewear that draws inspiration from classic sports and infuses them with a modern vibe highlighted by bold colors and patterns.

The new collection features three distinct lines: Mosaic, Tennis, and Leather Goods. The Mosaic line (pictured above) showcases intricate metalwork and lacquer techniques with a new line of luxe lighters, humidors, ashtrays and fountain pens. The Tennis collection reimagines S.T. Dupont’s accessories with illustrations inspired by tennis courts and ancient Greek architecture, while the Leather Goods drop offers a range of cigar pouches and document holders crafted from premium leather in Casablanca’s signature colors.

The eye-catching collab serves up a stylish union befitting S.T. Dupont’s elevated heritage and Casablanca’s modern design sensibility for discerning smokers and collectors alike. The S.T. Dupont x Casablanca Paris collection is available now worldwide.

It’s a fitting extension of the singer’s long-running affinity for Marshall, especially as the iconic California band celebrates 30 years of debut album Dookie and 20 years of the hard-charging, statement-making American Idiot.

Armstrong himself favors the Marshall JCM900 and the Plexi 1959SLP amplifiers, and Marshall notes that a modified version of the Plexi 1959SLP is now tagged as the “Dookie Mod” for its role in the making of the band’s best-selling album to date.

With the new Marshall Monitor III A.N.C. Wireless Headphones, listeners get specs Armstrong himself would love, including 70 hours of wireless ANC playtime and stunning Soundstage spatial audio technology developed by the acclaimed audio brand.

Marshall is also building off its next-gen Major lineup of headphones, using its customizable “M” button for seamless navigation through Spotify or EQ settings. Auracast technology, which Marshall calls “futureproof” is also designed to allow audio sharing amongst other Marshall devices (again, likely useful for an on-the-go rocker like Armstrong).

Marshall says the headphones, adorned with the instantly recognizable Marshall logo and available online now for $350, were “designed for true music lovers.” The company also noted its focus with the new set revolved around making it “feel like your favorite musician is in the room with you.” For good measure, a hard case lined in red velvet (designed to mimic a guitar case, of course) offers a luxe way to transport these stylish headphones, although a foldable design also aids in portability.

Every detail was carefully considered as Marshall developed its latest set of groundbreaking headphones, said Kenny Wong, Marshall design director. “Monitor III delivers a sound that is wide, well-balanced, detailed and enjoyable. Soundstage spatial audio takes the music out of your head and onto a virtual stage around you, making you feel immersed and revealing subtle layers in your favorite records.” For now, if catching an ear-splitting, exceptional Green Day anniversary performance isn’t in the cards, a new set of Billie Joe Armstrong-approved headphones is just the ticket.

The Tag Heuer Monaco already boasts proper pedigree, performance and style winding its way through racing’s most iconic moments, as the Monaco was a trusted favorite of Steve McQueen (among others). The actor and famed driver “quickly became a style icon in his own right,” the watchmaker said, sporting a Monaco all the while. With its distinctive square case, Calibre 11 movement and water-resistant design, the timepiece was built for practically anything both beyond the wheel and off the track.

Fast-forward to 2024. The latest edition of the Monaco, in addition to its customary precision performance, pays tribute to old-school racing liveries, when drivers used country-specific colors rather than sponsors to differentiate their vehicles. British racing green makes a bold splash on the sleek 39mm chronograph in this instance.

And since the Monaco’s 1969 arrival, the watchmaker notes that “the brand has continuously been drawing a line through decades of history connecting the Maison to the world of motorsport.” Fittingly, Dutch champion Formula 1 racer Max Verstappen showcases the new Monaco Chronograph in Racing Green, a move that secures Tag Heuer’s legacy now and in the future (at least, if Verstappen’s streak of lightning-fast racing performance holds true).

The use of racing green in British autosports runs deep, as the winning shade made its first appearance in a 1902 Gordon Bennett Cup victory by driver Selwyn Edge. As the watchmaker notes, the color continues to appear today in impressive cars both on and off the course.

Indeed, “every element of the TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Racing Green is inspired by historical British racing cars and their white and yellow touches,” Tag Heuer said. Even the dial design nods to 1920s and ’30s-era engine-tuned dashboard designs.

Tag Heuer took care in engineering this watch for streamlined performance, using a lightweight Grade 2 titanium case and a green perforated racing strap, which the company notes nods to “classic British gentlemen aesthetics.” Tag Heuer also calls the timepiece the “perfect watch for the perfect gentleman driver,” with just 1,000 individually numbered timepieces on the market. For about $10,800, another handsome piece of Tag Heuer racing history can grace your watch collection.

The covetable and often-hard-to-find bourbon makes for a natural source of inspiration alongside ruggedly stylish boots from the Michigan bootmaker. Case in point: Past partnerships between the two have even incorporated Pappy Van Winkle barrel wood into the boots themselves. Suffice to say, the latest and greatest Wolverine x Old Rip Van Winkle Batch IV Boots continue to check all the right boxes in terms of timeless style and countless nods to stellar bourbon.

This year’s edition brings “freshness to the collaboration,” Wolverine noted, using a workwear-friendly wedge sole hailing from the famed Wolverine 1000 Mile line. That the boots arrive in time for the middle stretch of National Bourbon Heritage Month is a fitting crossover, and design cues drawing from America’s spirit are present from the ground up in the latest envy-inducing pair.

Wolverine is no stranger to boozy partnerships, having teamed up with Dragon’s Milk on a beer-inspired set of durable 1000 Mile Boots back in 2021. The new Wolverine x Old Rip Van Winkle Boots (set to retail for $424.95 online while supplies last) draw their deep color from the ” rich caramel and wood notes of Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year,” while the tongue is adorned with a hand-numbered Old Rip Van Winkle woven label.

Better still is the fact that the first 100 buyers of the fast-selling boots will receive a special-edition duo of Wolverine x Old Rip Van Winkle coasters featuring bourbon barrel wood. And in a further nod to what Wolverine calls “timeless American craftsmanship,” a portion of proceeds will benefit student-focused workforce development organization SkillsUSA.

Between a fresh silhouette, handsome leather sure to get better with age, and a natural pairing between rich bourbon and finely crafted leather boots, the latest from Wolverine and Old Rip Van Winkle is (nearly) as covetable as Pappy whiskey itself.

Despite Rolex’s impressive athletic sponsorships from F1 to golf, Breitling has become the first luxury Swiss watchmaker to sign a deal with the league behind America’s favorite sport: the NFL. To inaugurate the partnership, Breitling launched a limited collection of Chronomat timepieces in 32 different colorways—one for each team in the league.

Every watch gets the same core signature elements that’s made the Chronomat pilot’s watch one of Breitling’s most popular models, including a 42mm stainless steel case with water resistance to 200 meters, a grippy onion crown, raised rider tabs at the 15-minute marks, three subdials, a date window at 6 o’clock, luminescent indices treated with Super-LumiNova, Breitling’s Caliber 01 chronometer movement, and either a classic rouleaux bracelet or rubber strap.

The designs diverge in color schemes according to their franchise’s colors—the Kansas City Chiefs variant gets a bright red dial with yellow hands, while the Miami Dolphins edition features an aqua blue dial and orange hands. Additionally, each team’s logo appears on the 60-minute chronograph subdial at 9 o’clock.

A full-fledged partnership with the world’s foremost football league may mark new territory for a Swiss watchmaker, but Breitling is no stranger to the gridiron. Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason has been a brand ambassador for over three decades, and current Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence serves on Breitling’s “All-Star Squad.” Several other coaches and players, including Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur and Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs, have also been known to sport Breitling timepieces.

Priced from $8,800, each of the 32 Breitling Chronomat NFL watches is limited to 104 pieces in celebration of the NFL’s 104th anniversary,

It seems that across the decades, Omega watches are often at home in unconventional places, so to speak: On the wrist of James Bond, at the 2024 Paris Olympics or traversing the galaxy as with the famed Speedmaster Moonwatch. The high seas also have their place in the pantheon of functional Omega timepieces, as the new Omega Seamaster proves handily in celebrating the 37th America’s Cup.

The Omega Seamaster Regatta boasts all the bells and whistles needed to traverse the ocean blue, starting with a durable and highly legible 46.75 mm case. As Omega notes of its role as the official timekeeper of the famed sailing race, the watch “is fully equipped for life at sea,” and then some.

As the Swiss watchmaker notes, “countless” Omega timepieces and official releases celebrating the America’s Cup have graced the wrists of sailors across the globe. The latest edition of the Seamaster Regatta, similarly, was “designed specifically to meet the challenges of high-speed boat racing,” from the moonphase indicator to the Grade 5 titanium case.

A temperature gauge complements more traditional watch features like chronograph functionality, while three alarms and a regatta race function ensure swift sailing no matter what (on wrist and in theory if not in practice on choppy ocean seas).

The roughly $7,600 limited-edition watch meets a high bar to clear for timekeeping in a race where every second counts, said Omega CEO Raynald Aeschlimann. ““Our new Seamaster Regatta belongs to the same family of watches as the Speedmaster X33,” he said, noting that the timepiece is “essentially a multifunctional tool that you can wear on your wrist,” further calling the covetable new release the “perfect timepiece for sailors.”

Four pushers help operate the watch, while a clear LED display helps drive its multitude of functionalities. Its engraved wave pattern caseback, a nod to the 37th America’s Cup, even holds secrets within its depths, so to speak: The resonating cavity was designed “to help increase the volume of the alarms” for multiple functionalities, while the company’s CALIBRE 5701 movement further cements its utility. A blue rubber strap rounds out its land-and-sea versatility, ensuring that this is a watch befitting any style-savvy sailor.

The best tool watches on the market seem to sing with functionality and durability, but few take inspiration as literally as the newest Bell & Ross BR-03, the Horizon. It not only takes design cues from an airplane cockpit, it even manages to look like an artificial horizon indicator (hence the name).

The visually striking timepiece joins the ranks of other rugged Bell & Ross timepieces, like the Bell & Ross BR-03 in Black Steel, as well as surprisingly refined offerings like the Art Deco-inspired BR-05. And yet, the BR-03 Horizon stands out tastefully in its own way, nodding to the “iconic dial of the gyroscopes used for handling flights with zero visibility.”

It’s an ingenious bit of watchmaking inspiration, nodding quite literally to the colorways found on an attitude indicator (blue represents the sky, dark lines represent the Earth, and center red lines represent the wings of an aircraft). Its circle-within-a-square design evokes instantly recognizable Bell & Ross design details, while the company’s calibre BR.CAL-327 movement powers the watch itself.

The timepiece boasts a 54-hour power reserve, and the watchmaker calls it “an intuitive tool with a simplified display, with a black seconds hand, a white minutes hand and a contrasting arrow (not unlike an indicator on a cockpit panel) to mark the passage of hours. Especially when worn with shades of blue and indigo in an ensemble, the effect is highly sharp and stylish.

Set on a sporty black rubber strap and built with a nicely sized 41mm case, the timepiece appears a fine addition to the ongoing lineup of “Flight Instruments” watches from the long-running brand. The BR-03 Horizon “enriches this set of horological instruments with a new timepiece with an iconic design,” part of a series of “unique, highly practical watches.”

Priced at $4,500 and available now online at Bell & Ross, just 999 examples of this highly precise, flight-ready watch are on offer.

Oyster Perpetual Submariner – The Watch That Unlocked The Deep arrives from design-focused publisher Wallpaper*, and is available for pre-order starting today, September 16th (it retails for about $130). The elegant and richly crafted book, officially authorized by Rolex, joins a growing volume of handsomely appointed Rolex photo books. And yet, even more curious is the fact that the vaunted release comes right from the famed watchmaker.

The 252-page, silk-bound volume promises a whopping 256 images, complete with commentary from author and watch expert Nicholas Foulkes. The volume on the Submariner is, according to the publisher, the “first in a series of titles exploring the brand’s unique watch portfolio,” diving into the 71-year history of arguably the most recognizable dive watch (or watch, period) on the planet.

The release is one of great magnitude in the watch world and beyond, said Wallpaper* Editor-in-Chief Bill Prince. “Since its inception over a century ago, Rolex has defined the steady progress made by the wristwatch to become the essential lifestyle accessory that it is today,” Prince said, noting that the timepiece “represents the essence of this design-led approach, its emblematic features and quintessential appearance sculpted over decades by those pioneers who led the field in underwater exploration and continue to illuminate our world beneath the waves.”

Many variations of the Submariner have come and gone over the years, and as the Swiss watchmaker readies a vaunted new factory, it’s a safe bet that interest in the long-running style won’t let up anytime soon. The book could be a valuable artifact in that regard, as its publisher further noted that the volume is “an essential companion for anyone interested in the creation and evolution of a masterpiece in precision timekeeping.” Pre-order your edition online at Wallpaper* for about $130 today.

Billed by the Connecticut company as an “alluring” new release, the watch expands the brand’s Expedition North line with crucial touches designed for global travel. Chief among them is its GMT build: The Japanese automatic movement allows for dual time zone tracking thanks to a bright yellow fourth hand.

The movement rests within a durable, true titanium and shock-resistant 41mm case finished off with a screw-down crown for added protection. The century-plus-old timekeeping flagship noted the new release is “incredibly tough yet lightweight and comfortable on the wrist.” It joins a host of recent launches from the watchmaker, including a covetable Huckberry x Timex Automatic Field Watch.

The outdoor-ready Expedition North line is nicely complemented by retro releases like the Q Timex Collection, yet another nod to a resurgence from Timex that stretches back nearly a decade. In terms of functionality, the new Expedition North GMT Automatic is no slouch, boasting 200 meters of water resistance and some added design detailing via a transparent caseback.

Its scratch-resistant sapphire crystal features enhanced visibility thanks to an anti-reflective coating, while luminescent hands and markers (and that visually striking GMT hand) improve legibility even further. A textured bezel adds stylish appeal atop a cushioned case, while the date window ensures you’re never too far off track, no matter where in the world you happen to be.

Replete with a bevy of helpful features and a highly durable design (including a quick-release silicone strap made with versatility in mind), the Timex Expedition North GMT Automatic packs a serious punch, not unlike a slew of Timex releases.

Functionality and heritage style meet the sort of utility needed for the globetrotting modern man, and what’s even better is the agreeable price tag: The Timex Expedition GMT Titanium Automatic can be found online for $549. Your next trip abroad just met the perfect watch for the moment.
