Swatch IRONY CHRONO ‘Back in Khaki’
Swatch’s new IRONY CHRONO collection takes inspiration from the crossroads between sophisticated heritage and modern design. The new ‘Back in Khaki’ edition celebrates the return of the signature camo print in the fashion scene, an aesthetic that takes any outfit to the next level. Adorned in the iconic colourway with Swatch Glow and a metal-brushed finish, the timepiece and its various strap options are ready for any and all types of adventure.
Premium style and high performance at an approachable price is Swatch’s claim to fame and this chronograph definitely delivers on that front. The symmetrical display with three sub-dials and logo detailing bears resemblance to certain high-end mechanical counterparts. Hovering under plastic glass is a matte green dial and white dot pattern, all of it flanked by a case of prime stainless steel. Bring the piece into dark terrain and watch as the dots and indices burst to life in a luminous glow. Anyone wanting serious bang for their buck need look no further. – AUD$265

Panasonic GB-86 Beard Trimmer

Panasonic’s wet and dry beard trimmer is designed for seamless cutting and styling on all types of facial hair.

With Father’s Day upon us, this is an easy way to bolster Dad’s grooming arsenal. Whether he has a thick beard or a thin one, the trimmer generates exceptional performance from one use to the next. It comes with three attachments and offers 58 cutting lengths in total, leaving no option behind.
