Yes, nearly summer and as many people in the UK will reject the globalist 3 hour queues nonsense at airports, that could mean more UK holidays.

If love mountains then trekking up some of the 282 Munro peaks in Scotland is a grand way to get away from it all and burn off a big breakfast. Pure freedom; no masks, no politics, just you and the big sky. It’s always good to have a rugged watch as part of your kit, along with an anorak, boots n water of course and Kartel Scotland are on the job.

Here’s the promo video;

So a tool watch that has simple, bold numbers, reliable Citizen movement, sapphire crystal and some night-time lume is welcome for those adventures.

Kartel, who are based in Scotland, have created a modern classic we feel, with a 41mm steel case, beautiful blue or green dials – there’s a black too – and a range of bracelets and straps. Quick change mechanism built in for swaps too.

Love the big day window, and the knurled crown, it has a sort of old school railway pocket watch vibe on the dial layout as well. If we are nitpicking, then we would love to see a slightly bigger date window. Just saying.

Prices start at £225. More here.
