Vuarnet Tom Sunglasses

Inspired by the iconic style of cult TV

hero Magnum, P.I., Tom is a retro pilot-

style acetate frame made with lateral

reinforcements and five-barrel hinges to

reduce the chance of bum breakages.

But it’s the Nightlynx lenses that guarantee

they make it into WIRED’s glovebox, as

they significantly improve contrast and

perception of distance, even in low light.

€230 vuarnet.com

When it comes to the majority of

fashion collaborations with automotive

brands, the results often tend to look

a little too Alan Partridge for WIRED’s

tastes, but we do have to admit there’s

an understated, elegant and utterly

considered look to the whole Belstaff

x McLaren partnership. Our pick of the

collection is this modern Harrington-

style driving jacket in dark shale that’s

made from a three-layer, water-resistant

stretch nylon outer, with heat-sealed

seams and laser-perforated ventilation.

Seiko Prospex Street Series

A modern reworking of the classic 1975

Seiko Tuna dive watch, the online-only

Prospex Street Series retains the

substantial 51mm diameter, 200-metre

water resistance and chunky three-

dimensional bezel of the original, but is

now available in navy, green and grey, with

a leather imprint silicone strap. It’s also

powered by Seiko’s in-house solar calibre

V157 movement, making it hugely practical.

And there’s no need to be nervous about

lack of sunshine: it can keep perfect time for

up to ten months in total darkness.
