Redux & Co. has announced a call for "field reports" from its community, inviting watch owners to share stories and photos of their timepieces in actual use. The brand is looking for authentic wear and tear rather than posed shots, highlighting watches that have earned their scratches through real-world miles. Submissions can be made via Instagram by tagging the brand or through direct email to the team, with a deadline set for April 30th. The winner of the field report contest will receive a limited-edition titanium Redux x Griffin adventure tool and a new strap loadout to re-kit their watch. This initiative aligns with the brand's focus on navigation and orienteering as they prepare for the upcoming Defender Trophy. The newsletter emphasizes the importance of reliable, simple tools for dead reckoning and discipline in the field. In a personal update, the brand leadership shared their choice of mission gear, opting for a vintage 1970s Swedish-made Silva Ranger 15T compass over modern alternatives. The choice was driven by a preference for clear, simple functions and long-term stability—qualities essential for high-pressure navigation. The brand is also actively seeking advice from its community regarding common orienteering mistakes to avoid during their upcoming adventure.
