Today's video is all about my EDC Essentials for 2026! In this annual video I share new additions to my Every Day Carry, including must-have EDC items and favorites. From my most worn watches this year—including (spoilers) the Hanhart 417ES Red Lion Mark II, Breitling Navitimer, Rolex Submariner 14060, Tudor Oyster Prince Date-Day "Vice President," Hamilton Khaki 36mm GS Mechanical, Rolex Explorer, G-Shock Mudman G9000, Breitling Aerospace and more—to high quality leather goods including my go-to wallet, and the best sunglasses from Persol both new and old, I cover a lot in this video. I also discuss the best pocket knives for everyday carry and for more formal occasions, and why I love the Benchmade Griptilian and classic Lionsteel Barlow knife compared to the rest of the collection. If you love or are new to jewelry, this video includes a men's jewelry guide on necklaces, bracelets, and a segment on bespoke jewelry, featuring my go-to handcrafted, custom made signet rings and pendents. And of course, this year's EDC wouldn't be complete without some of the most useful EDC items and gear out there including the best multitools, survival gear, classic pens, the best headphones for jogging, inspiring books, the most compact travel case for glasses, and the best watch case for travel with more than one watch. What's in your 2026 EDC? Please share in the comments!
