Editor's Picks: Breitling Navitimer GMT, Illy coffee machine and Superga sneakers
From Illy's new mega coffee machine to Breitling's latest Navitimer watch
Words: Zak Maoui
Each week we present to you some of the best gear on the planet. Whether it's Illy's bumper new coffee machine or Breitling's latest timepiece, these are the products you need this week to shake up your lifestyle.
Tudor Black Bay Chrono "Pink"
Tudor is now the Official Timekeeper of Inter Miami CF, the football team owned by longterm Tudor ambassador David Beckham. And the best way to celebrate this new partnership? A new watch of course. Originally made together with the Giro d’Italia's Jay Chou and now released to the public, a new version of the Black Bay Chrono celebrates the link up between Tudor and Inter Miami. The face is pink to match the team's kit, while a sturdy stainless steel bracelet and a high-performance automatic Manufacture Calibre keep things terrifically Tudor. Only a few will be manufactured, and we bet Becks will have one on his wrist.
Illy X1 Iperespresso Anniversary 1935 Machine
Based on Luca Trazzi’s signature retro design, the Iperespresso X1 offers the perfect blend of beauty, technology and really good coffee. More than just a coffee machine, it's a cult object that'll add a serious touch to any kitchen. Meanwhile, the milk frother and portafilter will help you to become a true master barista.
Rimowa Hammerschlag cabin case
It's a good day when Rimowa drops new cases. The Hammerschlag collection is inspired by a Rimowa Hand-Carry Case from 1966, featuring a distinctive textured aluminium. The archival design is available in a limited run, with the Hammerschlag Cabin released in 1898 numbered pieces, in reference to the year RIMOWA was founded in Cologne.
Brunello Cucinelli
Brunello Cucinelli has launched an eyewear range, and boy is it good. Embodying the quiet luxury of the Italian brand, these Japan-made sunglasses on offer are made from acetate, presenting a chic transparent effect.
Superga 2750 OG Herringbone
After a sleek summer sneaker that'll do the job of running around town? Superga's got you covered. The Artifact collection revisits and elevates Superga's heritage details and the timeless canvas design of the 2750 OG, born for tennis and reinvented in a lifestyle version, is updated with an even more comfortable internal construction.
AWMS rugby shirt
Independent label AWMS and Gloverall sought out the makers who supply the Oxbridge university teams and British Armed Forces, and employed their traditional baggy block to make what might just be one of the best rugby shirts out there. Made in England, the shirt is made using a soft, but heavy gauge Sportphlex cotton mix cloth, which was an early performance fabric developed in the 1950s, and is finished with a white herringbone cotton twill placket. Wear casually, or for sport, you decide.
Breitling Navitimer
Continuing on its 140th-anniversary celebrations, Breitling has unveiled the Navitimer GMT. The latest update boasts two pared-down revisions in a 41mm case size. Arriving in a sleek stainless steel build, with an evergreen dial, this Navitimer GMT is worth the price. It's sleek, handsome and, inside, the timekeeper runs on the Breitling Caliber 17, a COSC-certified model that provides 38 hours of power reserve.
Le Creuset Rhône casserole dish
Le Creuset's plum-red casserole dish is inspired by the wine-making region of the Côtes du Rhône in France. The ultimate culinary companion, the Rhône is ready to complement and enhance your kitchen décor, and – like a fine wine – will improve with age. Just ask anyone who has held onto one of these over the years.
J Ottaway chore jacket
Tailored from 100 per cent herringbone wool, J Ottaway's chore jacket stands up against tough climes, but looks sharp all the same. Designed by Joe Ottaway to be paired with a pleated grey trouser for an elevated look, or worn with the white denim jeans for a more relaxed feel, it's the versatile throw-on your wardrobe is asking for.
The Gentleman Brewing Company The Henry Modern Bitter
This deep amber brew is both bitter and sweet, thanks to an extra hit of agave that mingles with the taste of hops. It's a drink that nods to the past, but is also future-thinking, and will get you musing on your own beer journey.
