Hanks have always been a classic staple in the gentleman’s everyday carry. They have a lot of purpose, still to this day, and if you aren’t already carrying one as part of your everyday carry (EDC) you’re missing out.
I must admit that I find myself missing the Orion Hellcat. I spent about 2 weeks with the burgundy-dialed variant and truly enjoyed every minute with it. The size and proportions of the watch are pretty much perfect in my opinion and I think this design will speak to a wide range of watch enthusiasts. Nick at Orion set out to create a pilot watch with the Hellcat, but I think he did something more than that.

The Spinnaker Dumas is the first proper diver watch created by Spinnaker designed specifically with divers in mind. It’s presence on the wrist is undeniable, even if overstatedly so, but that aligns with their target audience.
The Mission Timer One is a very good initial launch from Winfield Watch Co. All things considered, I think that the MT1 takes all the right elements of classic military design and packages them in an extremely rugged and durable offering.

The NATO-style watch strap began as an innovation made for the armed forces by the British Ministry of Defense in 1973. The military needed a strap that was versatile, secure, and could handle spring bar failures no matter what the troops threw at it. The solution: using a one length nylon strap which wrapped underneath the watch case twice that offered resistance against ripping and tearing in the field.
