From Tissot's link up with Wilson to Omega's new Speedmaster 38 mm and the new Smeg coffee machine, this is what we want this week…
Words: Zak Maoui
Each week we present to you some of the best gear on the planet. Whether it's Tissot's latest watch (this time made in collaboration with Wilson) or Smeg's shiny new coffee machine, these are the products you need this week to shake up your lifestyle.
Omega Speedmaster 38 mm
The Speedmaster is an icon. It was the first watch on the moon and its legacy lives on. The Speedmaster 38 mm collection has been crafted with simplicity in mind, yet still retains the look and heritage of Omega's famous chronograph. This model has a full 18 carat yellow gold case with a polished-brushed gold bezel, which includes a tachymeter scale on a green aluminium ring. The indexes are made of 18 carat yellow gold while the hands are either 18 carat yellow gold or varnished green. As handsome as they come, this is a Speedmaster worthy of the name.
Smeg coffee machine
Smeg has unveiled its new Mini Pro series, which features compact versions of the popular bean to cup machine and coffee grinder for professional-level coffee even in smaller spaces. The Mini Pro Espresso Coffee Machine is a super sleek entry-level machine, for anyone who wants to give their mornings a professional kick. The mini coffee machine offers both manual and automatic extraction to suit both beginners and coffee connoisseurs alike, and even features a passive cup warmer for added luxury.
Tissot x Wilson Seastar Powermatic 80
In connection with Tissot’s role as the official timekeeper of the NBA and WNBA shot clocks, it has launched a new timepeice in partnership with Wilson. The first-of-its-kind Tissot Seastar Powermatic 80 has distinct white and orange details, recognised globally as the brand identity of the WNBA, while Tissot, Wilson, and the WNBA are all featured on the case back, which features a WNBA Wilson basketball.
Holland Cooper Byron Crew Neck Knit
Yep, we also thought we were entering an early summer. Alas, the temperature outside has dropped again and you'd be forgiven for thinking we're back in January. Not great, right? Well, it does come with positives, one of which is the excuse to get some layers on. Our favourite right now? Holland Cooper's merino wool knit.
Thrudark jersey
Co-founders Louis and Staz spent a combined 27 years in the military service, before taking a step back and coming up with Thrudark. Thrudark products have been tested in the toughest of elements to ensure they are up to the job of keeping wearers warm, and this jersey does exactly that. Through the use of specialist fabric from the renowned Italian manufacturer Carvico, the breathable and quick drying jersey itself is durable whilst retaining high elasticity and compression, which makes it ideal for road cycling.
Tracksmith Van Cortlandt Tee
Tracksmith have got performance gear down. Made from a luxurious and lightweight 2:09 mesh, this tech tee is the opposite to those cheap track tops you've probably been wearing. Ideal for race day warm-ups and low-key training, the Van Cortlandt Tee is the perfect layer for any guy serious about how he looks and feels when working out.
Crockett & Jones Bibury loafers
Crockett & Jones' Bibury takes the classic chukka shoe and gives it a little edge. By way of the label's new chunkier, wedge rubber sole and a butted seam apron, it has been modernised and given a bit more character. It differentiates it from other chukkas out there. It's a contemporary take on a classic, that can be dressed up or worn more casually.

Clase Azul Tequila Reposado
Clase Azul doesn't just do any old tequila. This tequila is masterfully aged for eight months in American whiskey casks. It's a light amber in colour, and blends agave nectar, vanilla, candied orange peel and toasted oak with light hints of cinnamon and banana, as well as hazelnut. Oh, and it looks the part at any dinner party.
Automobili Lamborghini and Babolat padel racquets
Padel is having quite the moment right now. There's clubs popping up and down the country, and now Automobili Lamborghini and Babolat have linked up to create a proper padel bat. The prototype of the first BL001 model will be made in a very limited series of just 50 units within Lamborghini’s factory facilities. The Babolat collaboration marks one of the few occasions Automobili Lamborghini will manufacture sports equipment and the carbon BL001 racquet will be available in five Lamborghini colours, Giallo Auge, Verde Viper, Arancio Livrea, Viola Pasifae and Verde Gea.
