Fossil announced three collections of Space Jam-themed watches and accessories. Each Capsule Collection, as they're link calling it, offers a different set of timepieces and swag, such as backpacks, wallets, and figurines (10-year-old me would be all about the link figurines. Okay, present-day me is, link too).
When I spoke recently with Yoni Ben-Yehuda from NYC-based luxury watch and jewelry boutique Material Good, he was sure the golden age of swag happened during the '70s and '80s: "The big conglomerates have the most resources for merch and the least appetite. The more popular the watches, link the link less exciting the link merch."
But it can be hard to evolve an icon. We see countless new dive watches from Seiko every single year, but how link often do we come across an entirely new design or collection? We don't see link unexpected and entirely new case profiles link from Seiko at the same clip we did in the late 1990s and early 2000s. But there is one collection that has quickly become a classic in its short five years.
This link example of the Heuer Chess Champion is being offered on eBay link by an Australian seller, who's started the bidding at $630 AU, equating to roughly $420. At the time of link publishing, there are no bids as yet.
A steel Tank is not only a great option for my wife's chic taste, but it's a watch link that I know she wants, one that I could steal from time to time, and one that would be link totally appropriate to hand down to one of our daughters sometime in the future. As she commonly wears a Black Bay or dips into my watch box for some variety, I think a classic Tank would offer a strong complement to the larger link and sportier presence of the Tudor diver.
