- Words: Dan Scothern
Each week we present to you some of the best products on the planet. Whether it's take-you-anywhere footwear or philanthropic fragrances, these are the items that you need to shake up your lifestyle for the better...
Certina - DS Action Diver in Turquoise
Adding a splash of colour to a classic, Certina's DS Action Diver in Turquoise is one of three new pieces bringing a little vibrancy to the iconic model. Crafted from lightweight titanium and ceramic, this stalwart of Certina's diving collection sees its 38mm dial adorned with striking turquoise Super-LumiNova on the hour and minute markers, adding playful character to this functional timepiece.
Sebago - Portland Artisan Docksides
A subtle statement piece or a reliable daily driver, the Portland Artisan Docksides from Sebago are a warm-weather staple the world over. Whether ocean adjacent or on the city pavements, their comfort and versatility are unrivalled and sees them return (if they ever left) to the summer footwear rotation year after year. We're fond of the classic brown, but it's the Blu Notte iteration that has caught our eye for summer 2026.
CALLUM - Daniel Hopwood Lounge Chair
In a celebration of British design and craft heritage, CALLUM (the distinguished design studio founded by Ian Callum) has teamed up with award-winning interior designer Daniel Hopwood to create an exclusive special edition of the CALLUM Lounge Chair. A happy merging of Callum's automotive and product design expertise and Hopwood's bold interior design sensibility, this hand-crafted, made-to-order piece contrasts its unique carbon-fibre spine with high-gloss maroon wood and 'Rococo' finish oxblood leather.
Czech & Speake - No 88 Prince of Darkness Limited Edition
The legends of rock have a long history of brand stewardship. Some that feel neatly aligned (Dave Grohl with Crown Royal or Slash with Guitar Hero), and others that perhaps seem a little forced (Johnny Rotten with Country Life Butter or Iggy with Swiftcover). Thankfully, Ozzy Osbourne's association with luxury grooming house, Czech & Speake, sits comfortably in the former camp. A vocal fan of its No 88 fragrance for over 30 years, the brand has recently launched its Prince of Darkness Limited Edition in memory of the Black Sabbath frontman, with 20 per cent of each bottle being donated to Cure Parkinson's.
TUDOR - Black Bay Chrono "Carbon 26"
TUDOR returns to the grid with the Black Bay Chrono "Carbon 26," a motorsport-infused chronograph inspired by the latest Visa Cash App Racing Bulls challenger. Pairing a featherweight 42mm carbon fibre case with a COSC-certified manufacture calibre, this limited-edition piece delivers 70 hours of power and precise column-wheel action, while subtle yellow accents energise the crisp "racing white" dial and signature Snowflake hands anchor its heritage.
ROAM - Large Carry-On Expandable
When it comes to luggage, there are some strict non-negotiables. Security, resilience, design and craftsmanship are paramount, although, when all things are considered, there are surprisingly few brands that cut the mustard. ROAM is such a brand, however, and its Carry-On Expandable is the sturdy packhorse warming up its tyres (360° spinning ball-bearing wheels) for a summer of action. Hand-assembled in Georgia, USA, and built from 50 per cent recycled polycarbonate, this stylish case offers 32 per cent additional capacity when required, military-grade nylon thread stitching, a compression board organiser and an antimicrobial recycled lining for globe-trotting freshness.
EDMUNDS - Kumquat Margarita
Don't get us wrong, when the sun is out and the Cuban shirts are on, we all want to be shaking them up like 1988 Tom Cruise. But quite often, when the ingredients are Googled and noticeably absent from the cupboards, our cocktails and dreams remain just that. Fortunately for the enthusiastic sippers but reluctant mixers, EDMUNDS is on hand to deliver the hassle-free goods. Pre-mixed using the best spirits and liqueurs, it's the Kumquat Margarita that's guiding us nicely into the vacation spirit.
Tissot - Pinarello Special Edition
A symbiotic fusion of the Treviso and Le Locle founded brands, the recent collaboration between revered bike manufacturer, Pinarello, and renowned watch brand, Tissot, brings together the worlds of high-performance cycling, and horological craftsmanship. Shaped by precision, materiality and motion, this uniquely designed 43mm piece boasts a forged carbon case, a striking mottled grey dial, and cycling 'easter eggs' in the form of a Pinarello 'P' on the seconds hand, and an asymmetrical silhouette that draws direct inspiration from the distinctive design of the Pinarello fork.
Cheaney - Treen Apron Chukka Boot in Sorrel Suede
Joseph Cheaney & Sons leans into its Northamptonshire heritage with the Treen Apron Chukka Boot in sorrel suede; a quietly confident take on a menswear staple. Cut from supple suede and built with traditional craftsmanship, it balances relaxed refinement with everyday durability, thanks to its sturdy rubber sole and clean apron-toe profile. Equally at ease with tailored flannel or off-duty denim, it's an understated and versatile season-spanning option.
Laphroaig - Willem Dafoe: The Limited Edition
Following a number of teasers from the Islay-based brand, Laphroaig has finally released its Willem Dafoe selected single malt; Willem. By Willem. Shaped by the Platoon actor from multiple expressions without tasting notes, guidance, or expectation, this 14-year-old dram showcases Laphroaig's unmistakable profile whilst also capturing Dafoe's trademark character and ethos. Deeply peaty, with sea salt, spice, and soft sweetness on the palate, this ever-evolving drop was initially earmarked for Friends of Laphroaig but can now be swept up exclusively at Selfridges.
Slowear - Suede Leather Trucker Jacket
One of the most subconsciously recognisable jacket styles in menswear, the humble trucker jacket (more frequently seen in denim or canvas) is easily identified through its dual breast pockets, V-shaped stitching and side adjusters. Never a brand to do things in half measures, Slowear has suavely elevated this workwear classic, deploying soft navy suede, premium topstitching and refined horn buttons for this premium piece.
