Omega Counts Down

 

OMEGA SPEEDMASTER CHRONOSCOPE PARIS 2024

 
The Olympic Games Paris 2024 begins in just 100 days, and the Official Timekeeper OMEGA has marked the moment with a new Speedmaster Chronoscope in the colors of the competition.

The new Speedmaster Chronoscope Paris 2024 43 mm series has four available models, each presented in the gold, black, and white colourway of the Olympic Games Paris 2024. This includes a version in full stainless steel with an anodized aluminium bezel, and another with a ceramic bezel and 18K Moonshine™ Gold case and bracelet – OMEGA’s own yellow gold alloy, known for its subtle hue and long-lasting shine.

Most notable on each watch is the silvery white opaline dial, which is transferred with three dark grey timing scales in a 1940’s “snail” design. These include a tachymeter scale, a pulsometer scale, and a telemeter scale, bringing a wide range of measurements to the wrist. Other details are the blackened subdials, Arabic numerals in 18K Moonshine™ Gold, and leaf-shaped hands and subdial hands that are Moonshine™ Gold coated. Read More

E-biking around town, cycling to work, or out on a road ride… everyone knows the importance of wearing a helmet, but your eyes also need protection from the elements like sun, dirt, wind, and rain. Shields and wraparound sunglasses are the best option, because they fit close to the eyes and give the best peripheral vision too — particularly important at the higher speeds of an ebike.

Whether you opt for sport or fashion sunglasses for cycling, there are a few things to consider when it comes to fit and performance:

♦ Make sure the lenses offer 100% UVA/UVB protection. A nice option are photochromic lenses that adjust with changing light conditions. Most performance sunglasses come with clear or lighter lens option to tailor your eye protection to activities and conditions. 

♦ Consider the material of your sunglasses. If you live in cold areas, sunglasses made of plastic and nylon are vulnerable to becoming brittle. Look for durable, lightweight, and moldable materials like Grilamid, acetate, and titanium. Avoid glass lenses when cycling as not all are shatterproof should you fall.

♦ Check if you’re better suited to Asian-fit sunglasses, designed for people with lower nose bridges.

Keeping Pace with Kara Goucher

 

 

American long-distance runner, Olympian Kara Goucher is used to running 135 miles a week, but these days it’s about 20 miles, and that’s in a good week. A few years ago, after multiple falls — one of them into oncoming traffic — and a loss of sensation in her left foot, Kara was diagnosed with Repetitive Movement Dystonia, a neurological movement disorder.

ALTRA, Kara’s shoe sponsor, has just released the ALTRA Paradigm 7 in a special colorway, along with a $50,000 donation to Dystonia research. $5 from every pair sold of Kara’s signature “Hope” color edition will benefit the Bachmann-Strauss Fellowship in Dystonia Research, a part of The Michael J. Fox Foundation whose mission is to grow the global base of researchers studying the movement disorder dystonia and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

“I think when I see someone wearing the colorway I’ll probably freak out a little bit” said Kara. “It will be pretty cool to know someone cared enough to buy that color way and their money is going to go to help other people.”

Unafraid of a challenge, Kara is also the author of the recently published book, The Longest Race: Inside the Secret World of Abuse, Doping, and Deception on Nike’s Elite Running Team. Kara was the star witness who brought down Alberto Salazar, the now-disgraced Nike running coach who was the head of an elite team known as the Nike Oregon Project. What seemed like the opportunity of a lifetime, Kara revealed became for her and other female athletes, a culture of misogynistic abuse, and one that pushed the limits of anti-doping rules.

TYR x Operation Underground Railroad

 

TYR X O.U.R CXT-1 TRAINER

TYR and Operation Underground Railroad have partnered in the launch of the limited-edition O.U.R. CXT-1 Trainer. Global charity Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) is dedicated to the fight against human trafficking which affects 40.3 million people around the world — 25% of which are estimated to be children. The shoe retails for $150 and 100% of the profits will be donated directly to O.U.R.

O.U.R. is a nonprofit comprising of global law enforcement, military, survivors, and civilians, combatting global human trafficking and child exploitation. O.U.R. goes to the darkest corners of the world to assist in rescuing children from slavery and ensure ongoing aftercare, providing cutting-edge tools and resources to law enforcement throughout the United States, while strengthening preventative efforts that benefit at-risk children worldwide.

The O.U.R. CXT-1 Trainer is TYR’s first-ever custom collaboration, and this special limited edition features a signature O.U.R. black and yellow design. “TYR is proud to join forces with O.U.R. for their crucial mission,” said TYR CEO, Matt DiLorenzo. “Our customers represent strength, and we look forward to seeing them wear this shoe to show their support for this pressing cause.” Read More

Seiko 5 Sports

 
 

SEIKO 5 SPORTS WATCH, THEN AND NOW

 
Seiko 5 Sports celebrates its 55th anniversary with a Limited Edition re-creation of the first Seiko 5 Sports watch from 1968, in addition to three other watches that pay homage to the designs and colors of the 1969 collection.

Distinguishing details of the original have been retained for a vintage feel, updated for more modern functionality. The resemblance to the original bracelet, for example, is readily apparent, yet tailored for everyday use. The original Seiko 5 Sports logo has been revived at the 12 o’clock position and the word “SPORTS” appears at 6 o’clock. The case back is marked with “Limited Edition” and the serial number.

The new Limited Edition comes in a special box that features the same logo and color scheme as the original, and evokes the time when the first Seiko 5 Sports watch was born.

Lateral Objects

 

 

Production designer Stefan Beckman is highly sought-after by the world’s most prominent fashion brands, creating the sets and stages for such designers as Louis Vuitton, Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Coach, Tommy Hilfiger, and Bottega Veneta – just to name a few. Of note as well are his installations for adidas at Hypefest and ComplexCon — in addition to his editorial work for such publications as Vogue Italia, W, Love, and Interview.

Stefan’s latest project is one of his own creation, a home design line called Lateral Objects, which he has launched just in time for summer with a line of vibrant and sporty beach towels. It is just the first product in a series of home objects soon to come that will include beach umbrellas, glassware, trays, candles, matches, games, and more.

We caught up with Stefan to find out about his inspiration for Lateral Objects, as well as the hot summer pop-up he has curated, Heatwave, now open at Barney’s.

STYLE OF SPORT: How did Lateral Objects come to be?

STEFAN BECKMAN: I’ve always loved home design — furniture and accessories. I used to have a store in Soho called Property, and it just seemed like a natural thing for me to do. I love to challenge myself, and a lot of times I’ll take on projects I’ve never done. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t, but at least I’ve tried. I think the idea for the line is similar. It’s a broad category. I plan to do furniture and accessories, but if there is something interesting and inspiring to me, I can just do it.  Read More
