At least in my experience, the right upgrades in terms of accessories can deliver a major difference in matters of style, utility and even confidence. There’s something intentional and yes, also fashionable about wearing the right type of watch, even if you don’t consider yourself a “watch guy.”

And while there are plentiful levels to the watch enthusiast world, it helps when a retailer you know and trust — like Huckberry, one of the best online shops for guys — can offer up a style solution in terms of the best men’s watches that just makes perfect sense for your lifestyle.

Enter the stainless steel watch, as wearable with a navy polo and stretch chinos as lounge shorts and a pocket tee. The one shown hre is fashioned from marine-grade 316L stainless steel, in fact (more on that in a moment). And the more useful bells and whistles in said watch, the farther you can go — take the new, ultra-exclusive yet fairly affordable VAER Watches x Huckberry G2 Pacific Steel GMT Watch.

Could it be one of the best men’s watches for the adventurous man on the go? Very possible indeed, and it’s built with all the tools needed for outdoor adventures and global jet-setting all year ’round.

The GMT watch, unlike other watches with standard quartz or automatic movements, adds a fourth hand that can be set to track another time zone at a glance — perfect for keeping an eye on the time overseas or as you pass time zones. With its sunray-style black dial and durable, useful bi-directional rotating 24-hour bezel, this watch hits the right notes for true, hard-working wearability.

In fact, as you might have seen on my Instagram, the GMT watch is one of my favorite styles of watch, and the good folks at Huckberry and VAER Watches have perfected the style.

VAER Watches makes a perfect partner for Huckberry, focusing on USA-made watches inspired by old-school military, pilot’s and field watches — much like Huckberry makes perfectly Americana-inspired gear, from the Western shirt to the trucker Jacket.

Throw on this handsome GMT watch, and you’ve got an ensemble set for just about anything that leans more casually rugged. As Huckberry notes, “Vaer’s G2 channels the spirit of the iconic 1971 Rolex Explorer II,” which was originally built for cave diving.

And now, back on dry land, this watch acts as an expert blend of utility and style, whether you wear it on its custom-fit stainless steel bracelet or a NATO strap (NATO straps are prized for their performance in water and their quick-drying nylon build). With 495 feet of water resistance, this is a timepiece truly built to go the distance, and it even features luminescent numerals for visibility in low-light conditions.

Beyond that, it’s a handsome watch made with outdoor pursuits in mind — would you expect anything less from Huckberry and VAER Watches? Make it yours today and take the plunge into the finely crafted world of watches, my friends.
