See Now, Buy Now: The Iconic Breitling Navitimer Can Now Be Yours at Chrono24

It’s a tricky proposition to get into the watch game — that is, once you’ve tried on, started collecting or started obsessing over watches both affordable and more luxurious, it’s a hard sort of habit to quit.

That’s been the case with my love affair with some of the best watch brands for men, from the highly accessible (like Timex) to the more aspirational (like my home state’s own Shinola), not to mention an enviable selection of “grail watches” I’ve had my eye on for years.

That’s where luxury watch marketplace sites like Chrono24 or Bob’s Watches catch my eye — with thousands upon thousands of watches up for grabs, it’s a joy to browse the site, if an enviable pursuit that’s a bit hard to come by in terms of cash flow, for instance.

Shop the Breitling Navitimer and more at Chrono24

But whatever sort of iconic watch for men catches your eye, there’s a great chance you can find it at Chrono24, and that’s certainly the case with the formidable, highly functional Breitling Navitimer, a piece of wearable, usable horological history that adds plenty to your watch game rotation.

Of course, the best luxury watches for men are an investment in their own right, but Breitling brings plenty to the table (and your wrist game), with history of exceptional pilot watches made with top-notch Swiss craftsmanship. The Navitimer was first commissioned in 1952 as a pilot’s tool watch, playing off the Breitling manufacturing legacy of making airplane dashboards for aerial navigation.

As watch expert Teddy Baldassare notes, the handsome and dependable Breitiling Navitimer silhouette in its many variations has some serious staying power. “Instrumental in popularizing the pilot’s watch for the general public, it remains the flagship of Breitling’s modern-day collection,” he said, calling out its utility as a pilot’s chronograph watch.

A mix of stylish alligator leather, stainless steel and contrasting leather straps add to its expert blend of form and function, at least in my experience.

A guy can certainly dream, as even the Breitling Navitimer on the resale market remains quite a lofty goal for the watch collector (myself very much included). The Navitimer World Watch is especially appealing for the global traveler or the watch enthusiast, with variations available in case sizes as large as 46mm (although the Navitimer more commonly clocks in at a case size of about 43mm.

As Baldassere again notes that ” for the classic Navitimer itself, its most recent revamp came in 2022, with modifications that are subtle but substantial.”

For now, it seems a worthy goal to set — to own a piece of wearable watch history from one of the most iconic Swiss watch brands on the market. At both Chrono24 and elsewhere, the Breitling Navitimer reigns supreme among pilot’s watches, my friends — invest accordingly on the secondary watch market, if you’re feeling bold.

The Billy Reid Harrison Jacket starts out with the good stuff, one might say, using a waxed cotton, water-resistant shell design from famed waxed fabric makers Halley Stevensons.

This durable waxed jacket kicks things up a notch, using dependable antique brass snaps and a custom blanket stripe fabric lining for warmth and comfort, not unlike other designs featuring your favorite waxed cotton build.

Offered in a standard fit for ease of movement, this Billy Reid waxed jacket also uses the brand’s custom ribbon stripe at the hip pockets, and the snaps themselves feature Billy Reid’s signature striped finish, for good measure.

Storm flap pockets add another level of protection and functionality to this weather-ready jacket, which as Billy Reid notes incorporates all of the reliable expertise of Halley Stevensons dating back to 1864.

“We’ve taken this classic style and reimagined it with a luxe, waxed shell,” Billy Reid says of this utterly perfect fall style find, with the utility to layer over a henley on a day hike or pair with a Billy Reid denim shirt when the occasion calls for more casually rugged style.

Somewhere in between the company’s sturdy waxed trucker jackets and lightweight tees and polos for summer is this transitional layer, featuring garment-dyed 100 percent cotton herringbone construction and a lived-in look and feel.

More rugged than an Oxford shirt or a dress shirt, yet not as burly as a heavyweight flannel shirt, the Flint and Tinder Washed Herringbone Shirt should prove reliable piece when worn on its own, sleeves rolled up alongside Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, or else layered up over a henley with canvas work pants.

The Flint and Tinder Washed Herringbone Shirt also boasts two button-front chest pockets for added versatility and everyday carry storage capacity, while triangle side-seam gussets ramp up the performance-focused workwear nature of this durable men’s denim shirt.

The texture of the Flint and Tinder Washed Herringbone Shirt is a major selling point as far as old school-inspired style is concerned, and when it comes to this vintage-tinged workshirt, Huckberry perhaps put it best:”Originally built for rail and factory workers, workshirts have transitioned from a job-site essential to a hardwearing staple of the modern guy’s wardrobe,”

See Now, Buy Now: The Discommon Watch Puck Is The Best Way to Travel With Your Favorite Watch

What you pack to hit the road, and indeed, how you pack that gear, can often be as important as the gear itself that you’re bringing with you. From upstate weekends away to family road trips, work travel and cross-country jaunts in the name of a great story (as I so often find myself doing these days), the right gear is made all the better by the ways in which you transport those essentials.

In the same way a great dopp kit can lend both durability and style to your daily carry, the best ways to travel with a watch can deliver that much more utility as you hit the road.

And if you’re as much of a “watch guy,” per se, as I am, then you know that finding one of the best watch storage solutions for men can be a tricky endeavor — a pricy watch, after all, should be cared for and stored with great thought in mind. especially if you wear said watch both at home and on the road (some of my favorite men’s watches from Shinola come to mind). For watch storage in style, that’s where I turn to Discommon — let’s take a closer look, shall we?

As you might have seen from time to time on my Instagram, I hit the road in search of stories covering everything from menswear to spirits and gear and of course, watches. And while I tend to favor certain watches on my wrist for travel days, there’s always a prized timepiece I reach for — and pack accordingly — for trips both big and small.

In my book and in my favorite weekender bag, that’s where the Discommon Watch Puck proves exceptionally useful — and good-looking, to boot.

The Discommon Watch Puck blends a Napa leather exterior (normally available in a handsome British Racing Green as well as sleek Black) with a shear-thickening foam interior, with the capacity to hold a fashionable, durable watch up to 40mm in diameter around its center circle design.

The sturdy YKK zipper is exceptionally well-made and remarkably durable, as I’ve found out during my own travels across this spring and summer, while the ingenious design company rightfully notes that “the (Discommon Watch Puck) feels like an objet d’art in your palm, and might be the most over-engineered single-watch travel case ever made.”

Huckberry men's boots review.

There are times when you merely glimpse a pair of proper men’s boots, or a rugged chambray shirt, or a classic henley, and you can sense that fall is on the way. Or rather, you catch a stylistic glimpse, merely of early, early fall — it’s never too early to get a jump on the best men’s style essentials for virtually any season, the right pair of boots very much included.

The promise of fall foliage, brisk mornings, warming bonfires and the perfect setting sun over a weekend lake getaway — yes, all of those things can use a set of the best boots for men, and who better than Huckberry to bolster your footwear wardrobe the right way?

Today’s winning style score comes from a fresh collaboration that’s practically a match made in heaven as far as the best boots for men are concerned: Huckberry’s own Flint and Tinder teams up with revered Maine bootmakers Easymoc on some of the coolest, most durable and rugged moc toe boots for men, and you — my friend — are the winner if you score a limited-edition pair right now.

And while the good looks rival the most classic, durable moc toe boots in matters of silhouette, the material used within for the soon-to-be legendary Flint and Tinder x Easymoc Camp Scout Boots is as legendary as the product itself.

Reliable and frankly iconic cloth from an authentic vintage U.S. Army pup tent appears alongside the famously durable crazy horse leather leather upper in a distinctive quarter paneling finish, making for a pair of hard-wearing men’s boots unlike any other on the market — Huckberry, it would seem, has absolutely done it again when it comes to making some of the best gear for men.

Accents like durable brass eyelets, plentiful contrast and reinforced stitching, and a Vibram camp boot outsole come together in fine form to make this pair one of the coolest pairs of boots for men on the market at the moment — with the specs and attention to detail proving that notion quite handily indeed, my friends.

For good measure, the foam-topped leather insole will even mold to your foot over time, adding more power to the idea that the Flint and Tinder x Easymoc Camp Scout Boots are a pair of boots to score for life.

As Huckberry notes of the absurdly cool collaboration, “it’s no metaphor when we say we’re walking in a piece of U.S. history,” as details like USA-made leather lacing and stitches drive home the right blend of heritage and rugged good looks when it comes to the Flint and Tinder x Easymoc Camp Scout Boots. Just ahead of the best time of the year to wear boots, find your new favorite pair for a limited time at Huckberry.

The Sunday Sale: Shop and Save On This Rugged Filson CPO Chambray Shirt Right Now

Best chambray shirts for men.

It’s a relief from time to time to be able to turn towards the more simple things in life, at least in matters of gear — a pair of boots that are expertly broken-in, a comfortable T-shirt as a base layer for long days in the yard, or the right outer layer on breezy summer nights as we look towards fall.

A rugged chambray shirt certainly fits the bill in my book as one of the simpler, yet no less useful, menswear essentials a guy like yourself (and myself!) can wear, and when you find one made with long-lasting quality and classic design top of mind, it’s worth giving it a shot.

Shop the best chambray shirts and more right now

Even if your wardrobe is positively packed with the best chambray shirts for men — usually of the medium-blue or light wash blue variety — it’s also worth snapping up potentially your new favorite chambray shirt on sale, particularly in a different shade than the tried-and-true favorites you’ve already got close at hand in your wardrobe.

Enter Filson, the long-running Pacific Northwest heritage outfitter with an eye for rugged quality and thoughtfully crafted details. While the brand doesn’t make much of its gear in the U.S. of A anymore, I’d bet that a selection like the Filson Chambray CPO Shirt should do just fine in matters of durability and tough style.

Available in sizes up to 2XL in a breezy yet versatile, seasonally friendly Tan colorway, dependable 5-oz. 100% cotton chambray makes up the sturdy warp-face construction of this workshirt, complete with two front-button pockets for an overshirt-esque design.

Filson even retooled this handsome chambray shirt with a tool or utility slot in the left pocket, while rear-yoke knife pleats deliver range of motion, turning the Filson Chambray CPO Shirt into a layering must-have on cool end-of-summer nights.

As Filson rightly notes, “the durable chambray fabric delivers the look of denim in a weight that’s comfortable year-round,” while the Tan colorway pairs easily with dark blue jeans, light wash denim or perhaps even olive chinos for an #OOTD focused on earth tones. Priced right now at about 30 percent off, your new go-to chambray shirt gets the durable, heritage-minded details correct, and that’s as useful as can be for your seasonal wardrobe, my friends.
