Named after the city of Kalamata in the southern Peloponnese region of Greece, Kalamate olives have become a staple in everything from Mediterranean salads to charcuterie boards. For this everyday carry loadout, we were inspired by the olive’s darker green-brown hue, which also just so happens to be pretty underrated as an EDC colorway.

Nixon is one of our favorites when it comes to blending accessibility with effortless styling. And the brand’s Time Teller punches way above its price point. Perfect for weddings, holiday parties, or nights on the town, the dress watch is housed in a 37mm stainless steel case with matching bracelet and sports a minimalist aesthetic that looks amazing across the array of colorways — including the monochromatic Dark Olive variant you see here. Versatile as well with some added durability for everyday wear, the Time Teller also boasts 100m of water resistance and is powered by a reliable quartz movement.

Writing utensils seldom come more attractive and well-built than Inventery’s Bolt Action Pen.

For this sleek olive drab green limited-edition variant, the steel has been coated in-house with a corrosion- and heat-resistant Cerakote.
