All about the new Seiko Prospex

Anyone looking for a diver watch will ultimately land on Seiko. Some of the most prolific dive watches, Seiko’s Marinemaster pieces are historic and iconic in the category and remain the standard in the industry. With plenty of reinventions taking place all over, Seiko is taking the chance and giving their famed 1968 Diver a refresh just a year after restarting their Marinemaster series. In larger sizes, these two new watches are worthy successors to the Marinemaster series, and their contrasting hues and features are significant for any dive watch user.

Bringing some new concepts into the Marinemaster, Seiko has released the SLA077 and SLA079 watches as follow-ups to their 2023 releases. Although they belong to the same collection, these two new pieces have much more water resistance and less sleekness making them more authentic as dive watches. Both pieces come in a stainless steel case with a 42.6mm size and 13.4mm thickness. Both SLA077 and SLA079 come with a black unidirectional rotating bezel and a detailed 60-minute scale. A LumiBrite pearl is placed on the 12 o’clock mark, and the screw-down crown is in the usual 4 o’clock spot. Most importantly for the dive watch, the water resistance on both versions reaches up to 300 meters.

Dive watches all seem to have a reputation for being round with a unidirectional bezel and generally a simple dial design. However, Ressence has turned this idea on its head with the new Ressence TYPE 5 L, a new iteration of the Ressence TYPE 5 that was introduced in 2015. This new Ressence watch is the stuff of dreams for fans of Lume as its entire dial is fully luminous; yes, the entire thing.

If you’re a WWII history buff, you’ll love these field boots from Viberg

Viberg debuts authentic N-1 Field Boots

Viberg N1 Field Boots

If you consider yourself a history buff with your Netflix history full of World War II documentaries and "Band of Brothers" on repeat, then we've got your next shoe purchase from Viberg ready to go. But first, a little backstory. N-1 Field Shoes were often called "boondockers" which originated from the Tagalog word "bundok" meaning mountain. They became a crucial part of the American military uniform during World War II, and were specifically designed for the U.S. Navy.
N-1 Field Shoes: A history

The N-1 Field Shoes were exceptionally sturdy, made from steer hide suede, and hand treated with dubbin to give them water resistance and durability. They featured a rubber and cord sole that gave them excellent traction in various terrains and were extremely practical in harsh conditions, both combat and weather-wise. In the past, the soles were made from recycled car tires and surplus nylon, which was a strategy implemented to conserve resources during wartime material shortages. They remained popular after the war, and are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance.
