Trending: Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic

The field watch design is as timeless as it is useful, with the pairing of a clean, military-inspired dial and a leather strap allowing the watch to easily transition between the workplace and the weekend. For Watch Wednesday, we're taking a look at one Switzerland's finest field watchmakers--Hamilton--with their Khaki Field Automatic offering a bold, 42mm GMT for some serious wrist presence. Under the sapphire glass is an H-10 automatic self-winding movement with a date display at the 3 o'clock position, 12H, 24H, and GMT dials that make the dial design, and an impressive 80 hours of power reserve. The Khaki Field comes with brown leather strap with contrast stitching that handsomely offsets its stainless steel case and crown, with a 100-meter water resistance completing its features.

Dango D007 Goldfinger Limited Edition

When the occasion calls for you to suit up, it’s all about putting together the smartest ensemble of gear. And when it comes to sophisticated and functional wallets, Dango's multi-function cardholders have always filled that niche. Their latest release, fittingly named the D007 Goldfinger, takes it to the next level with a compelling combination of luxe aesthetic a secret spy would love and gadget utility that keeps your essentials and ideas both close at hand and sleekly secured. All in a compact form factor that's sure to make a stylish statement in any gentleman's pocket.

The D007 has all the elegant hallmarks of a wallet befitting a super spy. The polished gold anodized aluminum chassis provides an exotic accent to the wallet’s exterior, especially when set against its plush, jet black leather bifold section with 4 pockets, each holding up to 4 cards. The D007 uses Dango’s signature silicone strap for securing its contents on its chassis side, while mil-spec stainless steel bolts ensure the integrity of its construction. Adding even more utility to the leather section are its special slots for the Dango pen and P01 Notes mini notebook. It’s the perfect addition to your wallet, especially when immediate recording of ideas and details is all part of the day’s work.

The pen itself is machined in the USA from 6061 aerospace-grade aluminum, anodized for maximum resilience and given a polished gold finish to match the D007’s chassis. It takes the robust Schmidt 4889M pressurized ink refill which allows writing in even the harshest environments and extreme conditions, sized right for integrating into the wallet. But a pen is only as good as the surface it writes on, and the Dango notebook makes the most out its space in the D007. Each notebook is handmade with stitch binding for flexibility and durability, with a natural finish card-stock cover to protect its pages.

Whether you’re a world-class agent intelligence gathering for a mission or simply making the most out of your everyday essentials, the Dango D007 Goldfinger Limited Edition Wallet is the utility gadget you should never leave home without. Learn more and pick one up from Dango at the link below.

Gift the Perfect Knife for the Holidays with MyDeejo

The best tools are not the expensive items you left on your bedside table, it’s the gear that you have right now in your pocket. Deejo knows that an EDC knife is only useful if its there when you need it, which is why it prides itself on their ultralight knives. The barebones aesthetic of the Deejo knives are for more than looks, and they’re known for being easy to use, easy to pocket, and easy to make the perfect custom gift thanks to MyDeejo.

When you get a Deejo knife, you get the option to completely customize it right down to the “tattoo” design on the blade. Want a lighthouse on your blade? You can do that with the click of a button. Or you can keep it simple with just a small personal engraving on the blade—it’s all up to you. The blade options aren’t the only parts that are customizable either. You can choose from a selection of different materials for the handle including wood or carbon fiber, as well as different blade materials like black-out titanium. Whatever knife you’d like to make, there’s a MyDeejo option for you.

Designing your own knife is just the beginning, since they’re meant to be used and not kept in their box. The skeletonized design makes it super lightweight and easy to carry, with the smallest option weighing 15 grams while the largest weighs in at 37 grams. The 3.7” stainless steel blade is a great size for EDC too, giving you plenty of edge to let you slice through what you need whether you’re in a suit or sweats. Its curved design helps you maintain complete control throughout the cut, and the secure liner lock keeps any accidents from happening.

But MyDeejo isn't just about building an ideal knife for yourself. There's nothing that makes an excellent gift more than giving something useful to your loved ones, especially when it's tailor-made to their style and preferences. By building them something special, something nostalgic, and meaningful, it's a great way to show you care. And with all the options available for a Deejo knife, it's the best way to build something extra thoughtful for a perfect present.

Whether you’re looking to gift someone a new heirloom with a meaningful design or want to treat yourself to something that’s entirely your own, the MyDeejo custom knives are a great option. From decking out your own viking-inspired knife or keeping it minimal with your favorite saying, your knife carries your story. Hit up the link below to start building it out for yourself.
