Everyday Carry: Aquascaphe
From the sport of diving to deep-ocean watercrafts, man’s relationship with the sea has inspired exploration and adventure—and with it, some pretty cool gear. Led by the Baltic Aquascape, today’s curation of everyday carry features dark, deep-sea hues and durable, nautically-motivated constructions, like paracord and scaled micarta. Get the job done, in and out of the water.
Baltic Aquascaphe
A modern dive watch with vintage aesthetics.
Inspired by the legendary 1960s Bathyscaphe submersible, the Baltic Aquascaphe partners premium diver functionality with vintage charm. For example, the sandwich dial on the triangular indices not only gives it a slight 3D look (without overcomplicating the classic design), but adds dimension to the lume. Top that off with 200m of water resistance, a domed sapphire for pressure resistance, and a beautifully textured strap made of durable but supple Tropic rubber.
Bellroy Slim Sleeve Wallet
A minimal wallet with maximum storage space.
The Slim Sleeve Wallet from Bellroy is minimally-built to maximum effect. It’s made of vegetable-tanned leather and thread, creating no need for liners, in its 12-card capacity interior. In fact, you can still throw some bills in there and this sleek sustainable wallet will still sink invisibly into your front pocket.
DSPTCH Mini Paracord Keychain
A pocket-friendly keychain built to last.
Ruggedly stylish and conveniently portable, the DSPTCH Mini Keychain is built with 550 Type III Paracord. It’s a US Army favorite because of its high tensile strength and slim diameter, meaning this keychain offers toughness without bulk. Plus, these function-forward guys come in black matte, digital camo, or gunmetal.
The James Brand Folsom Knife
Overbuilt for everyday use.
James Brand’s Folsom Knife boasts two important qualities. First, is its liner lock that helps you close the knife with one hand without changing your grip, convenient for those two-handed jobs. Second, the VG-10 stainless steel blade is exceedingly easy to sharpen, despite its superior wear resistance. A bonus feature is all of the style options Brand offers, which includes black micarta, so you can look look the part whether you’re cutting rope or slicing up an apple.
