The Tuesday Steal: This Exclusive Huckberry x Timex Black Max Watch Is On Sale Now for a (Very) Limited Time

It’s amazing what you can find in the world of the best men’s gear when you take a closer look and keep an eye out for the unexpected: In this day and age, that might mean scouring the digital pages of one of the best online shops for men, rather than perusing the aisles of a vintage store, but the process largely remains the same. So imagine the surprise of this Brooklyn style writer when looking through the always-covetable wares of the Huckberry Sale section.

Shop the best menswear and more at Huckberry

Along with an enviable selection of the best waxed jackets, rugged winter boots, durable travel bags and cozy winter sweaters was one of the more exclusive watches of the moment: The Huckberry x Timex Black Max 1979 Watch, an homage to a racing watch favorite that had become increasingly rare.

Yes, let’s get to the chase here, because the Huckberry Sale section contains a rare find in a collaborative watch from the iconic American watchmaker and the must-shop, do-it-all retailer, with plenty of nods to archival Timex watches built into one highly affordable timepiece. Marked down right now an astonishing 40 percent (which brings the price down below $150), the Huckberry x Timex Black Max 1979 Watch is perhaps one of the coolest watches at the moment, and certainly among the more affordable considering the bang for your buck that you’re getting.

The Huckberry x Timex Black Max 1979 Watch looks to an ultra-rare archival watch that’s been out of commission for nearly five decades, Huckberry notes, calling this sleek limited-edition watch a ” bold reissue of a Timex classic.” As we talked about on this Brooklyn style blog when this crisp, speed-inspired watch went on sale in December, the Huckberry x Timex Black Max 1979 Watch boasts a racing-inspired dial design and a stainless steel case, plus 100 meters of water resistance.

Beyond that, the Timex signature analog quartz movement ticks away within, while the 41mm dial should rest nicely on most wrists. The all-black colorway with an orange seconds hand and bold white indices offers a change of pace within the Huckberry x Timex Black Max 1979 Watch, while the band is interchangeable and compatible with other 20mm straps — multiple watches for one agreeable price, ehh my friends? Complete with a Huckberry-branded crown, this collaborative watch is merely the latest and greatest style offering from two brands that know a thing or two about style and savings — shop accordingly this week, folks.

Style Pick of the Week: Huckberry x Timex Black Max Watch – A Rare and Rugged Wrist Game Upgrade

Huckberry x Timex review.

I’m often on the lookout for the latest and greatest gear, from the coolest new men’s watches to the right pair of leather boots or the perfect henley — or some combination of all of the above, which can readily be worn at the same time (as you well know if you keep up with this blog!).

And so when two respected brands I love come together to craft a rugged watch, you could call it a perfect meeting of the minds, one that makes so much sense, it’s enough to keep you coming back for more — and so it goes with Huckberry x Timex, an ongoing partnership that’s resulted in some highly rugged, hard-wearing watches with plenty of style points.

Learn more now at Huckberry

The latest in the Huckberry x Timex series is no slouch either, to say the very least. The Huckberry x Timex 1979 Black Max, which just debuted yesterday, in fact, takes things to the next level in terms of Huckberry’s penchant for rugged and durable gear, combined with the Timex knack for using historical inspiration to craft wildly useful modern watches.

Available for a limited time only, the Huckberry x Timex 1979 Black Max harkens back to the 1970s and racing watches of the era, bringing back what the famed American watchmaker calls one of its most sought-after vintage collectibles. The meeting of the minds simply couldn’t be more perfect, at least in my book, featuring a bold racing dial and a blacked-out titanium case for plenty of durability.

The Huckberry x Timex 1979 Black Max also features what looks to be a matte-finish stainless steel band to complement its hard-wearing 41mm case. And within, you’ll find a reliable quartz movement, while the crown itself features the Huckberry logo.

See Now, Buy Now: This Bespoke Post x Timex Field Watch Is A Retro-Tinged, Instant Classic

Is it too commonplace to say they don’t make ’em like they used to? Or at least, not as often in the world of men’s style essentials, and certainly not nearly as often when it comes down to the best watches for men, like the handsome, rugged and pleasingly retro Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch as shown above.

Find out more at Bespoke Post

The just-launched Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch is a prime example of what happens when two iconic companies put their heads together on a reinvented classic. Timex has, of course, been ticking along for more than a century when it comes to timekeeping, and they’re a reliable and highly stylish watch brand, in my experience.

And on the other side of the coin, Bespoke Post is a bonafide 21st-century favorite as far as the best online menswear shops are concerned — they’ve unearthed now-classic brands, they’ve helped you (and this writer!) refine your everyday carry and your daily haul, and they’ve put their own spin on everything from the waxed trucker jacket to the pocket tee and now, the Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch.

Bespoke Post x TImex Field Watch.

These days, the new debut of a Timex watch comes with great fanfare — the brand has collaborations with the likes of Todd Snyder to show for its recent revamp over the last decade. And true to form, the Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch nods to the impressive Timex archive while carving its own space in your watch game rotation. The Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch takes its cues from 1970s-era Viscount watches, right down to its 36mm case size.

Bespoke Post x Timex Field Watch review.

The Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch features a mix of crisp, retro yellow, white and red markings on its three-ring dial, and those colors contrast handsomely and in rugged fashion with the olive green CORDURA strap. In my experience testing this watch, the casually cool Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch wears as easily with a polo and stretch chino shorts as it does with a pocket tee and light wash jeans.

Find your new favorite watch at Bespoke Post

Suffice to say, it could just become one of the most versatile yet casual watches in your arsenal. And yet, like other selections from Timex as it crafts one of the best watches for men, the Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch is highly affordable.

Snag the Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch while it’s still around for just $159 at Bespoke Post. It doesn’t get much better than that, and I think you’ll find the Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch is one of the best men’s watches to buy now, folks. Happy shopping.

See Now, Buy Now: The Huckberry x Timex “Cola” Watch is the Perfect Summer Timepiece

Just as you’ve got your go-to pair of summer sneakers and your lightweight stretch jeans for hot days, so to should you have one of the best men’s watches for summer on your wrist. That’s right: In my book, there are absolutely stylish men’s watches that are practically made to be worn in the summer heat. It’s your lucky day as we dive into our latest See Now, Buy Now entry, because the visually striking new Huckberry x Timex “Cola” Sport Watch is one of the best watches for men to wear starting this summer and moving well beyond that. It’s the go-to pick when it’s too hot to wear a leather watch, which, news flash, is frequently the case in the summer months.

This watch, an exclusive to the good folks at Huckberry, first debuted to great fanfare last year, and for good reason. Again, the fact that you can only get this watch at Huckberry means that competition is steep to add this timepiece to your collection. It very well could claim that lofty spot as your new favorite watch, but the crucial first step is buying it right now. The Huckberry x Timex “Cola” Sport Watch has all the proper bells and whistles you’ve come to expect from extraordinarily durable and yet fairly priced Timex watches, for starters, including that red-and-black design (hence the “cola” name, of course).

SHOP: The Huckberry x Timex “Cola” Sport Watch

See the source image

This nicely priced men’s watch for summer (it retails for $189 at Huckberry) is entirely unique, designed from scratch by both companies and using military inspiration plus ’70s and ’80s Timex and watch trends. So while Timex has an extensive archive that designers like Todd Snyder frequently use for inspiration (to great effect!), this creation is even more unique, and just as covetable. It features a striking red-and-white military crosshair dial with luminescent markings, along with an aluminum bezel with a sharp red accent. It’s these design touches that help the Huckberry x Timex “Cola” Sport Watch stand out from the pack as far as the best watches for men are concerned.

The dial is also a fitting throwback as far as size is concerned: It’s a nice, sharp 38mm in diameter, making this a watch you can wear with a Huckberry T-shirt and hybrid shorts as readily as you can team it with a classic men’s polo and lightweight summer pants (loafers sold separately). The great news is that the Huckberry x Timex “Cola” Sport Watch is durable enough to wear with those outfits on consecutive days, and you can keep on wearing it all week long if you so please. At a price like that (again, it’s $189 at Huckberry), why wouldn’t you want to make this your go-to summer timepiece? The answer to that question is up to you.

The Friday Read: Father’s Day Weekend, Summer Style Essentials & Timex x MadeWorn

My friends, welcome to another lovely summer Friday here in Brooklyn (and hopefully, wherever you happen to be, as well!). It’s a momentous weekend for several reasons, chief among them the fact that it’s Father’s Day weekend — perhaps you might be interested in shipping Dad a last-minute or post-Father’s Day gift from the always-outstanding Huckberry x Coors Golden Hour Series as shown above? After all, what could be a better gift for Dad than rugged menswear inspired by the spirit of creativity and cold beer? Plus, who doesn’t love a refreshing Coors — call it a guilty pleasure — on a hot summer’s day? That’s what I thought. Head to Huckberry to shop the full Huckberry x Coors collection and perhaps pick up some gear for yourself, too.

I’m looking forward to the weekend, and although I won’t be with my dad, I’ll actually be heading back down to sunny Florida early next week — just in time for an extended Father’s Day visit! I hope you’re able to spend quality time with loved ones, and safely, wherever they might be. I’ll also be staying busy this weekend, with some editing and writing for The Manual coming up for me on Saturday. I’ve also been working on some new Maxim stories (one of which is below!), and my latest Huckberry Journal entry is coming up soon, too. So with all that being said, I’ll be plenty busy.

It’s a change of pace from last weekend, when I trekked upstate courtesy of Eddie Bauer to put some stellar Eddie Bauer hiking gear to the test getting around the Catskills from the cozy confines of the Getaway Eastern Catskills outspot. As it were, you can read all about my trip — and subscribe! — at my twice-weekly music-menswear-craft beer newsletter called The Style Guide In Brief. I publish two times a week, and believe me when I say there’s something for everyone, from indie rock to rugged menswear. For now, I’ve also got a few items I think you’ll enjoy heading into the weekend. Enjoy the day, enjoy time with family and enjoy a proper summer weekend!

TIMEX2
  • Hey now, here’s a fun one for both yourself and potentially for Dad as an added bonus or a little post-Father’s Day gift. Or actually, well, one heck of an upgraded Father’s Day gift. It’s the new Timex x MadeWorn collaboration that’s really caught my eye as of late, so much so that I covered it for Maxim. The collaboration pairs up the legendary watch brand with the vintage-revival team at MadeWorn, led by artist Blaine Halvorson, and the results really are something else. Shop Timex now to get your new favorite watch after reading my guide.
  • Call this one another fun gift for Dad or for yourself if you’ve been investing a bit in new records across the past few weeks and months. Urban Outfitters stocks and sells some of the best record players out there, the kind of easy and affordable pick-up that can add some color and a whole lot of great sound to your living room, your den or Dad’s home office, easily. A pro tip: Let him know the gift is on the way with a homemade certificate, and then buy a record or two for him to spin when it arrives (Urban Outfitters also sells records!). Easy as that!
  • I talked in my last Friday Read about another undeniably cool gift for Dad, or for anyone really: A new Sean Connery Framed Print from UNCRATE. Well, how about adding this exclusive Steve McQueen Boxing Print to your shopping cart from the always-well-stocked UNCRATE Supply Shop? It’s bold, it’s rugged, it’s iconic and it’ll make a heck of an impression hanging on any wall.

That’ll wrap up today’s Friday Read, and hopefully, you’ve got just enough time to check off a few very last-minute Father’s Day shopping pick-ups. What’s your favorite from the above, either for Dad or for yourself? I personally think the exclusive Steve McQueen Boxing Print is pretty epic, but that’s just me. Last but not least, if you want some shopping suggestions for yourself, check out my guide on how to wear a camp collar shirt this summer. That’s all for now, but you can check back here for tomorrow’s Style Pick of the Week, and you can also hit “Subscribe” over at The Style Guide In Brief for more new content from me.
