A new approachable watch book, a sold-out Timex collaboration, Filson’s 28L backpack, a historic Titanic-linked pocket watch sale, and a look back at Anoma’s debut all stood out in this week’s watch and gear conversation.

Vaer’s G2 Apocalypse GMT draws from Marlon Brando’s famous bezel-less Rolex GMT-Master from Apocalypse Now, but avoids being a straight copy. With a 39mm steel case, quartz GMT movement, 150 meters of water resistance and a $399 starting price, it is a practical daily watch with a very specific film-watch reference.
