Constructed mainly from bamboo of all things, the Big Face Woody is one of the most unusual and coolest timepieces that we have come across. The face is only 12mm thick and 50mm wide with a mineral glass display and Japanese quartz movement. It's mega lightweight and mega tough and best of all you could even feed it to a Panda bear. But seriously, don't, they're far too precious. And Pandas too, we guess.

The watch of the Navy SEALS, the SAS and Rambo, the Luminox Recon NAV SPC is possibly the smartest, toughest timepiece out there. Swiss-made and crafted from carbon reinforced polycarbonate, aluminium and anti-reflective sapphire crystal, it boasts a walking speed tachymeter, removable compass and map scaler. Oh, it also tells the time too, with even the option of adding extra time zones for when dropped behind enemy lines. In Medal of Honor.

Industrial toughness meets sneaker-like comfort with the Chrome 415 Urban Work Boot. Lightweight and durable, it's the ideal footwear for working, biking, skating and more. It's available in two ranges -- the breathable-waterproof Storm fabric or 1,000-Denier Cordura -- both featuring 100% vulcanized construction and ultra-grippy skid-resistant soles. There's a padded ankle collar and even a reflective heel pull-loop so you're easily seen come nightfall.

Carry your computerized kit in style with the Hard Graft Laptop Folio. Crated from premium vegetable tanned leather and finished with a classy rich gray hue, there's plenty of room for laptop, gadgets, charger and pens and the ingeniously positioned hand strap makes for maximum comfort when on the go.

This foot attire is exceptionally cool. The Chicago-based Oak Street Bootmakers' Natural Trench Boot boasts a classic, military inspired look which incorporates natural Horween Chromexcel leather, oiled leather waterlock soles, a stacked leather heel and calfskin lining. So not only do they look the business, but are tough and comfortable to, er... boot.

An absolutely gorgeous bag, the luxurious First & Company Weekend Discovery Duffel is crafted from the finest materials - the rich, Whisky Batido leather beautifully complemented by antique heavy duty brass rivets and bottom studs with a custom patina finish. Inside you'll find burgundy micro-fiber suede, all artfully hand stitched in California. Class and style, personified.

A cool addition to this coolest of ranges, the Clae Nicholson Camel Suede is classic work boot inspired foot attire. The footbed is customized on a Vibram outsole for maximum breathability and the rich suede upper, pull up leather accents and smooth nubuck heel are offset beautifully with leather cord laces. Mix up these kicks with some classy denim or a stylish tailored suit and have the best dressed feet out there.

Not too keen on getting banged up in a Mexican slammer again? Then get yourself one of these. The Smuggler's Belt is hand cut and sewn in Texas from high-grade tanned cowhide and boasts a sneaky little secret compartment. Even for our law-abiding readers, it's one elegant piece of kit and guaranteed to darken beautifully with age.

Safety has never been so stylish. The Aether Skyline Jacket is a 3-layer heavy-duty piece of attire crafted from highly abrasion resistant nylon with a breathable mesh lining and integrated compartments for protective padding. The pads boast ultra-shock absorption capabilities and discreet vents allow for cooling and added comfort on and off the road. Such is its innovation, the matte black appearance will even reflect bright white light whenever you find yourself in the middle of a pair of headlamps too.

From one of the most stylish sporting brands out there comes the new Adidas Originals Newburgh Watch. Inspired by classic driving watches, it features a notched top ring with a matte nylon case and an oversized "3" on the dial for big, bold design statement. Rugged and understated, this timeless timepiece is available in four different color schemes including our favorite matte black with a reggae strap with funky rasta stripes.
