Editor’s Picks: The Singleton whisky, OMEGA watch, Ludwig Reiter boots and New & Lingwood gilet
The best gear in the world right now, from REAL’s workout gear to My Style Bags luggage
Each week we present to you some of the best products on the planet. Whether it’s countryside layers from Campbell’s of Beauly, or black run essentials from 1000ski, these are the items that you need to shake up your lifestyle for the better...
OMEGA Speedmaster Moonphase
With all six lunar missions to its name, there’s no doubting that the OMEGA Speedmaster is the astronaut’s timepiece of choice. The Speedmaster’s long-standing affinity with space travel begun in 1969 and has been furthered most recently with the launch of the Speedmaster Moonphase. The two newest additions harness two forms of meteorite and have been uniquely designed to display lunar cycles as seen from both northern and southern hemispheres. Never a brand to shy away from detail, the stars in the background of the Moonphase are positioned precisely as they were on the evening Apollo 11 first reached the Moon, as seen from OMEGA HQ in Bienne, Switzerland.
REAL Sight Sweatshirt
Whilst a well-loved grey sweatshirt might have worked for Philedelphia’s Favourite Son, 2025 is the year that we elevate our workout attire, and the Sight Sweatshirt from British brand, REAL, is the perfect place to start. Constructed from a modern, bonded material, this lightweight piece is the product of countless hours of R&D, built to ensure maximum comfort with minimal weight, and its windproof and water-resistant finish make it an enormously versatile addition to the gym wardrobe.
The Singleton of Glen Ord Autumn Walk
Whether you’re searching for a light at the end of the Dry-January tunnel, or excitedly counting the days to Burns Night, The Singleton of Glen Ord has provided a truly notable dram with their latest 14-year-old single malt. Matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks, before being part-finished with the vibrant influence of Pyrenean and Spanish oak cask ends, their Autumn Walk gives a peppery spiciness and a hint of orange peel on the palate, before a long, cooling finish.
1000skis Carv Skis
Though dubbed the Christian Louboutin’s of the piste (by us, just now), the distinctive red colourway is exactly where the comparison between the French fashion house and Swedish ski brand, 1000skis, ends. Boasting both form and function, the Carv Skis are one of the more versatile options in the range having been designed for groomed slopes and sporadic off-piste. The Stockholm-based brand have also put sustainability at the heart of their manufacturing process to prove that you can enjoy the slopes and protect them at the same time.
Campbell’s of Beauly Cannich Coat
Choosing the appropriate coat for countryside pursuits is a task that should never be rushed. Practicality tends to come first, although look, feel and fit follow swiftly behind. Too chunky and you’re sacrificing mobility, too lightweight and the elements begin to creep in. The sweet spot is (as always) somewhere in the middle, and the Cannich Coat from Campbell’s of Beauly occupies this space fantastically. Made in Spain, from 100 per cent wool Austrian loden fabric it’s a relaxed wardrobe staple that bests the weather out on the moors, but cuts a stylish silhouette in the pub.
My Style Bags Brera Suitcase
For those whose Blue Monday involved a swift dip into the Avios purse to line up some spontaneous winter sun, we commend you. But we can’t allow you to travel ill-equipped. An individual with the decisive skills to book expeditions on the hoof needs a case to match, and the soft and supple outer of the Brera Suitcase from My Style Bags make it the perfect choice. Primed for weekend getaways and longer stays, it’s personalisable to aid quick overhead locker recognition and speedy disembarking.
Ludwig Reiter Après Ski Boots
While you may think the ideal après ski footwear is simply a pair of ski boots that don’t prompt a spontaneous river dance on the wooden floor (or pose the threat of a bruised backside as you navigate the treacherous metal staircase down to the inconveniently tiled bathrooms), Austrian brand, Ludwig Reiter, prefer to move in a more stylish direction. Their Après Ski Boots; made from hydrophobic leather (fast drying and mark-resistant) and lined with heat-regulating shearling ensure that all sartorial standards are maintained, and all wipeouts are kept to the snow park.
New & Lingwood Storm System Quilted Gilet
Made with Loro Piana’s famous Storm System cloth, the Storm System Quilted Gilet from British outfitters, New & Lingwood, takes their outwear range to a new level of functionality and adaptability. The wool fabric has been waterproofed to ensure droplets are never absorbed but rather glide off the material, and the brown quilted lining, adjustable sides and three outer pockets, make it an incredibly useful piece to have on the coat rack as we slowly transition to milder climes.
Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart Auto 42mm
A testament to the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, Hamilton’s new blue and green dial variations of their renowned Jazzmaster model showcase the precision and detail that is consistent in all pieces across the range. The aventurine-inspired dial puts a vibrant night’s sky on the wearer’s wrist, and the H-10 automatic movement (with an 80-hour power reserve and Nivachron™ balance spring) can be clearly admired as the minutes tick by.
