Editor’s Picks for July 2025: OMEGA, the America’s Cup and F1
The Editor’s Picks for July 2025 consists of a few products and activities that caught my eye during the month of July, without necessarily having seen them in person or tried them out.
Discover the Editor’s Picks for July 2025.
“F1 The Movie”
If you love thrills and motor racing but also like to be comfortable, the film F1 is the perfect opportunity to combine passion and comfort to kick off this Editor’s Picks for July 2025. As summer alternates between summer showers and oppressive heat, take refuge in the cosy atmosphere of the cinema. Brad Pitt and Damson Idris’s racing cars, accompanied by real drivers from the 2024 Formula 1 season, take over the big screen in a flurry of action and adrenaline. An ideal escape for a gentleman in search of excitement and style.

OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M in Orange
While we recently discussed who might be the next James Bond, OMEGA has now unveiled a brand new Seamaster Diver 300M (James Bond’s watch). It is important to note that, over the past 20 years, the colour orange has become a characteristic feature of OMEGA diving watches, helping to improve visibility and safety underwater. This iconic orange hue has added a touch of dynamism and unique aesthetic appeal to several Seamaster collections. This year, it makes its debut in the iconic Diver 300M range, offering customers a choice of two distinctive stainless steel models. A gift to treat yourself to while you wait for 007’s!
The new colour of The Macallan’s timeless collections
Speaking of James Bond, his favourite whisky, The Macallan, has just unveiled new packaging for three of its collections (Double Cask, Sherry Oak and The Colour). Two of them focus on red, while the other features shades reminiscent of citrus fruits. We’ll tell you more about it in this article. Coming to shelves in the next few months. However, if you’re in Paris, stop by The Peninsula, where the brand has a pop-up space on the rooftop terrace until the end of September 2025. Also for travellers, The Macallan recently opened its own shop at Heathrow Airport in Terminal 5. An excellent choice for the Editor’s Picks for July 2025.

?th anniversary of the Ratafia on July 24, 2025
Closer to home, but still with an Italian flavour, as it is in Little Italy that one of our favourite restaurants, Ratafia, is celebrating its 6th anniversary with a selection of incredible cocktails, wines that are as delicious as ever, and a huge cake that will be sold by the slice! An evening not to be missed! Perfect for celebrating one of the choices from the Editor’s Selection for July 2025.

RH Montreal: For high-end furniture in the Editor’s Choice for July 2025
We were at the opening of the impressive new high-end furniture store, RH Montreal (RH stands for Restoration Hardware) at Royalmount, and it was quite an evening! On the menu: Petrossian caviar (I think Antonius is better), Bellinis from Cipriani, Vespers (our recipe is here, by the way), Ruinart champagne, and incredible appetisers from Adele Forgione. It must be said that the highlight of her store is its rooftop restaurant! We got an exclusive scoop on the future chef, but we’re keeping it a secret for now.

To round off the Editor’s Picks for July 2025, Explora Journeys, a brand we love and which is a partner of the America’s Cup and Formula 1, is repeating the 2025 experience by being the only cruise ship on the circuit. From Wednesday 3 June to Monday 8 June 2026, EXPLORA I will serve as an ultra-elegant sanctuary, enhancing the experience of this iconic event with unrivalled refinement and style. Moored just 150 metres from the track, EXPLORA I will offer its guests a privileged place to watch the race, as well as world-class facilities.
Building on the success of 2025, the 2026 edition will take the experience to a new level. Explora Journeys, the luxury cruise line we had the pleasure of staying with, will once again be at the centre of Monaco’s most sought-after cultural event, offering unique experiences and exceptional exhibitions. Learn more about our experience on Explora Journeys’ Explora II in this article.
That concludes the Editor’s Selection for July 2025. We’ll see you again in August to continue this series!
