It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal, a sapphire display back, and is water resistant to 100 meters.” A solid 42 hour reserve on the winder is a plus. (tz)

An amazing color-combination and traditional flannel pattern, the Klondike plaid shirt is 100% cotton brushed twill and polyester lining with “silky taffeta.” You have to wear this shirt as an overshirt/jacket, because it only comes in M-XL. If you’re looking for a warm over shirt, that’s a quarter of the price of everything else out there pick-up this 5-pocket flannel. I’m sure you could take down a Klondike in it; literally. The jacket is available at Workingperson. (gb)
