Everyday Carry: Eclipse
Dark, understated gear has a way of looking good together without much effort. This everyday carry sticks largely to black, with a few carefully placed hits of orange providing just enough contrast to keep things interesting. The result is a setup that feels cohesive without looking like every piece was chosen solely to match.
At the center is Unimatic’s unmistakable orange-dial ProDiver, joined by polarized shades from Tomahawk and two cleverly designed essentials from The James Brand. There’s a wallet stripped down to the necessities and a carabiner that makes keeping track of your keys considerably easier. Together, it’s a compact collection of useful, well-designed gear that brings a little color to an otherwise dark everyday carry.
Unimatic U1-PD3 ProDiver Modello Uno Watch
Few things command attention like an orange dive-watch dial. Unimatic pairs it with a brushed 41mm stainless steel case, black ceramic bezel, and heavy-duty black NATO strap. Underneath is Seiko’s dependable NH35A automatic movement, while 300 meters of water resistance and dual lume make the Italian-made U1-PD3 considerably more capable than its minimalist design suggests.

The James Brand x Carryology Mehlville Carabiner
The Carryology edition of The James Brand’s Mehlville adds an orange Auxikko-patterned locking mechanism to its black anodized aluminum frame. More importantly, its dual-compartment construction lets you unclip it without accidentally freeing your keys. It’s CNC-machined from 6063 aluminum, weighs just 0.59 ounces, and even sneaks in a stainless steel bottle opener.
Price: $59
Tomahawk Shades The Peacekeepers Sunglasses
The Peacekeepers keep things simple with a glossy black frame and smoke lenses that fit naturally into just about any everyday carry. The injection-molded polycarbonate construction keeps them lightweight, while polarized UV400 lenses cut glare and provide full UV protection. At $70, they’re also the kind of sunglasses you can actually wear without constantly worrying about them.
Price: $70
The James Brand Lowe Wallet
The Lowe is The James Brand’s thoroughly modern interpretation of the minimalist wallet. CNC-machined from 6063-T5 aluminum, it uses an internal Pinch-Tech retention system to securely hold between one and six cards without moving parts. The flush-mounted silicone band adds room for cash or receipts, while the slim 2.1-ounce design practically disappears into a front pocket.
Price: $119
