The company — a one-stop shop for horology news, reviews and of course, products — launched a run of handsome watch straps from its new High Craft-Vintage series last month, specifically in a rich Navy Chromexcel and a rugged Peanut Suede. These straps are tough, durable, hand-finished and possibly the perfect addition to your favorite everyday watch. The new introductions complement the site’s overall approach — since 2011, they’ve published more than 100 videos and 1,000-plus articles — yes, you read that right — covering what they call “value-driven watches,” with a focus on “unique and thoughtful design,” plus top-notch construction to match. Sounds good, right?

And the eye-catching new straps play nicely off other additions to the brand’s product line, such as new colors in Worn & Wound’s easy-to-use Single-Pass line of watch straps. Need a new black leather watch strap? The Single-Pass line is the way to go — for under $90 full-price, or under $80 on-sale.  It’s a heck of a way to add a new, durable and stylish casual watch to your collection — all while simply changing the strap.

Lest you worry about finding a belt to match that sharp new watch strap, Worn & Wound has been thinking ahead in that department, too. Its classic leather belts are made with Wickett & Craig leather (some of the best of the best) and assembled in America. It’s the ideal way to pair up your watch strap and belt without missing a beat — now, you only need rugged leather boots to finish off a next-level #OOTD.

What’s the best way to transport your new favorite watch strap, though? Again, Worn & Wound does the advance thinking for you. The Waxed Olive Watch Roll — introduced back in November — starts with a durable waxed army-duck canvas and is finished off with Horween Olive Chamois trimming. It’s no ordinary way to carry around your watches, that’s for sure. The great part about all of this gear? It’s finished with extreme attention to detail and the sort of handsome, classic aesthetic that should complement your everyday carry — that goes for the durable watch straps and carries through to fine leather belts.

What are you waiting for? Upgrade your watch game now.

Embrace your inner Frank Sinatra with this limited edition Bulova watch
You will love the way you look tonight if you snag this Frank Sinatra-inspired Bulova watch
The Chairman of the Board watch.

Watch collectors are about to get the chance to sing their praises for a watch with a musical background. A partnership between Bulova and Frank Sinatra started in the 1950s, and collectors are as obsessed with it today as in the swing era. If the soothing voice of Ol' Blue Eyes still takes you back to a simpler time, you might want to set your sights on a wristwatch that will do the same. While you may never sell 150 million records yourself, this limited edition, a once-in-a-blue-moon chance to own a Frank Sinatra-coded Bulova watch and feel like an honorary member of the Rat Pack, is here.
Bulova and Frank Sinatra

Bulova exudes charisma in each art deco-inspired watch it creates, and this vintage 1930s throwback piece pays homage to the relationship between the watch brand and Frank Sinatra. Sinatra cherished the brand from the start, wearing Bulova watches throughout his career. Some celebrities go where the paid endorsement takes them, but Sinatra was loyal to Bulova, and the partnership still produces gorgeous pieces.

What to know about G-Shock's 5th NASA themed watch
Casio watch on desk with equations and packaging

With Casio celebrating almost fifty years of classic and modern watchmaking, it’s only fitting that they celebrate with the 5th NASA-related watch in their collection. While they aren’t a direct partner, Casio has repeatedly shown its inspiration for all things outer space and innovation. Although the previous iterations of this NASA theme have been bold and bright, this subtle release speaks to a more nuanced connection. With a small nod to the classic Casio calculators, the watch company’s latest timepiece is easier to pair with everyday looks without losing the interstellar touch. Containing small NASA-inspired details, the newest Casio watch is a must-have for NASA and watch enthusiasts alike. 
Casio’s 50th-anniversary release

While many collaborations don’t contain more than a few releases, the partnership between Casio and NASA now has five unique watches to its name. The latest release, GW6900NASA241, is not only an ode to NASA and space travel but also serves as a celebration of Casio’s 50th watch anniversary. Unlike Casio’s previous bold yellow and white colorways, the newest piece is all about sleek and subtle. In a modern black, the GW6900NASA241 contains the classic NASA logo, adorned with red, yellow, and blue accents. These colors are similar to those found on Casio’s iconic calculators, a nod to the importance of mathematics and precise calculations in space exploration. As a special touch, the caseback for this piece contains the formula for the force of impact.

F.P. Journe closes the curtain on limited editions with one last watch
F.P. Journe releases its last limited edition watch ever
F.P. Journe Flyback Chronographe FB

F.P. Journe announced earlier this year that they would cease producing limited edition watches, though the "announcement" was more of a quiet whisper. The company is known for its small annual output of watches , which makes 1,000 mechanical and 500 quartz pieces. However, they would never end a party without a final confetti canon, and this one is in the form of a hand-wound flyback Chronographe FB.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their Tokyo location, they've introduced this last limited edition. Going forward, they will stop engraving edition numbers on their watches, meaning the 200 Chronographe FB models released will certainly be highly sought after.
