IWC Schaffhausen’s Ingenieur model was born in the ’50s, but it wasn’t until more recently that the watch moved closer to the centerstage in IWC’s lineup with the Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date Month, and now the watchmaker has released a limited grade 5 titanium edition — a material commonly used in aerospace applications or internal combustion engines.
Housed in a 45mm grade 5 titanium case is an IWC in-house caliber 89801, capable of recognizing the lengths of different months and can even register a leap year every four years, with a 68-hour power reserve. On top of this tech-packed caliber sits a flush grey dial with black and white hands and hour markers, all of which are luminescent in the dark. The watch is water resistant up to 120 meters, and comes with a black calfskin leather strap that compliments the darker tones of the watch. Turned over, the caseback features a display-glass for the caliber 89801 to be admired in all its glory.
The IWC Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date Month is now available over at IWC’s site for $37,400 USD. Those interested can contact the brand for more information on how to get your hands on one of them, but definitely act fast, as there are only 100 examples made.
Nike has unveiled its full “BETRUE” collection ahead of Pride Month. The pack sees four silhouettes — the Air Max 720, Air Tailwind 79, Zoom Pegasus Turbo and Benassi JDI slide — reworked to feature the iconic rainbow flag designed by Gilbert Baker.
The Air Max 720 sees the rainbow flag added as a gradient pattern across the sneaker’s mesh upper, complete with Gilbert Baker’s signature on the 720 Air unit. The Air Tailwind 79 features the flag in a more subtle way, appearing as an eye-catching detail on the heel tab. The rest of the sneaker’s mesh upper comes in lilac-grey, complete with suede around the toeboxe, heel and eyelet panels and a black leather Swoosh.
The third sneaker in the pack, the Zoom Pegasus Turbo, comes with a primarily black upper, which is offset by a rainbow stripe which runs down the sneaker. The rainbow detailing also appears as glitter around the lacing unit and ankle. Lastly, Nike has also dressed its iconic Benassi JDI slide with the rainbow flag, covering the slide’s strap.
The Air Max 720, Air Tailwind 79 and Benassi JDI will all release via the Nike web store and select stockists including END. on June 1. The Zoom Pegasus Turbo will then follow on July 14.
The COMME des GARÇONS x Nike Shox TL was originally spotted at its Spring/Summer 2019 Paris Fashion Week show and now, the reworked retro silhouette has finally got an official release date. After dropping in CDG stockists in Japan, the highly-anticipated collaborative pair now gets a closer look.
COMME des GARÇONS has given the Nike Shox TL an all-black upper, distressing the Swoosh branding and giving the entire textile upper and tongue a cut-and-sew, frayed finish. Co-branding is placed upon the tongue in contrasting white text, while the sneaker’s detachable jewelry piece stands out in gold across the vamp section.
The detachable chain is pieced together like a necklace and locks between the Shox TL’s futuristic and highly cushioned sole unit. Take a look at the triple black iteration above and pick up both this pair and the all-white and silver version at COMME des GARÇONS stockists worldwide for approximately $357 USD on June 13. Both pairs are currently available at the CDG Aoyama store as well as CDG locations across Japan and Dover Street Market Ginza.
