American fashion giant Todd Snyder and the British watchmaker Aera have joined forces to present two limited-edition diver-style watches – the intriguingly titled ‘Blackout’ and ‘Whiteout’. A part of Aera’s D-1 Diver timepiece family, these titanium sports watches represent a fashionable revamp on the contemporary minimalist swimming watches from the Aera brand. Went for ‘Whiteout’ for this detailed review mainly due to its visually arresting hue that makes a bold style statement.
While Aera timepieces boast enthusiast-grade construction and performance, they are also relentlessly trendy in their marketing and product positioning. The brand’s primary ethos seems to be reinventing popular tool watch designs for the new breed of watch lovers who may not be traditional collectors. Because diver-style watches are universally popular, it makes perfect sense for a design-centric brand like Aera to concentrate on these and other archetypal tool watch styles.
