Everyone Under the Sun

 

 
Utu is a new line of premium outdoor skincare on a mission. The line includes a broad spectrum SPF30 Moisturizing Sunscreen and a refillable SPF50 Tinted Sunscreen Stiq, all contained in 100% plastic-free, recyclable aluminum packaging that honors the planet as well as rights of those who inhabit it. Utu’s debut range of sun protection is designed everyone who shares the love of outdoor pursuits, but Utu has a larger purpose as well.

Utu founder Richard Welch is an LGBTQ+ business owner and member of Founded Outdoors, an active community of entrepreneurs dedicated to breaking down barriers to access in the outdoors industry. As a queer-identifying individual, he has often felt a disconnect between his identity and the traditional image of an outdoor enthusiast. Welch is proud to be part of a growing movement that recognizes the importance of inclusivity in the outdoor community, that also includes Brave Trails, a non-profit dedicated to LGBTQ+ youth leadership offering summer camps, backpacking trips and more.

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.
