Everyday Carry: Amber
Since our ancient ancestors puttered around with animal bones and rocks to get jobs done, the Bronze Age was arguably the start of EDC as we know it. In honor of that, today’s assembly of everyday carry boasts the fatigue resistance of bronze alloys and brown leathers, while also sporting a look that’s antiquey but not musty, and classy yet robust. These amber-hued pieces of EDC gear are definitely lifers.
Omega Seamaster 300 Bronze Gold
Omega carries on their tradition of cleverly-mixed in-house alloys with this Bronze Gold variant of the broad arrow Seamaster 300. The signature sandwich dial and Master Chronometer are all still there. However, the case is gold, specifically infused with fellow noble metals, palladium and silver, for a leveled-up bronze sheen. It’s stronger and more hypoallergenic than regular bronze, while making the brushing truly pop.
Vallon Howlin’ Sunglasses
The ever-durable Vallon Howlin’ Sunglasses are a distinctly rounded take on aviators. Vallon then adds a swash-buckling amber tone to the gentleman-esque tortoise shell. Basically, these were designed for the slipper-clad fellow, sipping whiskey in his study, after he flew his helicopter home from an adventure in the Amazon.
Taylor Stitch Minimalist Wallet
With a hidden card slot liner in addition to the four exterior ones, the Taylor Stitch Minimalist Wallet will literally go invisible in any pocket. It’s made out of patina-friendly Spanish leather in classic brown, with handsomely hand-painted edges.
Case Rogers Corn Cob Jig Antique Bone Mini Trapper Knife
The Corn Cob Antique Bone Mini is a compact Case Rogers Trapper Knife with an exquisitely jigged handle, which also makes for safe grippage. Adding a burnished dimensionality, the jigs are beautifully caramel-stained. The spey blade’s sharp-edge-rounded-tip combo is excellent for skinning game or for anytime you want to slice without puncturing, while the clip blade can be used for anything from whittling to cutting up an apple.
