Huckberry sends people on the adventure of a lifetime with the Explorer’s Grant

Find your inner explorer with Huckberry's help

We were never meant to drive a desk. We were never designed to spend our days in a cubicle. We were designed to live under the sky with the sun and the stars able to stare down on us. We have long since forged a world of comfort, with customs of living indoors, safe from the dangerous sun and the deadly predators that roam at night. And ever since we forged that world, we’ve started to lose our connection to the great outdoors. That is why Huckberry is one of the most important brands for a man looking to reconnect with and recapture the spirit of our ancestors. But combining explorer’s wear with fashion wasn’t enough for Huckberry, they also want to send you on the adventure of a lifetime. They just wrapped up the fifth edition of the Huckberry Explorer’s Grant, sending “John B. from North Carolina” on one of five life-changing adventures.

Choosing from five destinations and five dream rides

For the fifth iteration of the Explorer’s Grant, Huckberry teamed up with Toyota to offer a prize worth $50,000 to one winner. It included a $20K prize to pay for four nights at a 5-star resort in Southern Utah to explore the desert, Big Sur to experience the Pacific Coast, Maine to see Acadia National Park, Jackson Hole to live out your cowboy dream, or a private island experience in the Florida Keys. It also included $ 20,000 in Huckberry gear, $ 8,000 in first-class flights for two, and $ 2,000 to drive a dream Toyota (Tacoma, Land Cruiser, Sequoia, Tundra, or 4Runner). But the value in this program isn’t just about winning; it’s also about letting your mind start to escape the cubicle.

The Gentleman’s Guide to Groomsman Gifts
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

When I was a groomsman in my twenties, I was too broke for gifts. The best I could offer was a thoughtful card and a colorful toast after the wine started flowing. Youthful charm more or less excused showing up empty-handed—along with overindulging in Champagne and making passes at bridesmaids. As I approach forty, however, it’s not quite as cute. Forgoing a gift is as tacky as staring at the bride’s décolletage.

Wedding gifts are often items for the couple: coffee makers, bedding, fancy soap dispensers. But leave such boring gewgaws to great-aunts, chums of the bride’s parents, or the family dentist no one expected actually to show up. As a groomsman, you have a duty to present your stalwart pal with loot he’ll cherish. A beautiful bottle of whiskey. A handsome watch. Perhaps some art for his (gentle)man cave.

Breitling’s new Miles Davis watch is also a preview of its upcoming social club
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Long before influencer partnerships existed, Miles Davis was doing unpaid brand work for Breitling just by wearing his Navitimer on stage. The watchmaker is finally returning the favor with a 500-piece tribute marking the jazz legend’s centennial.

Davis famously wore a Breitling Navitimer ref. 806 Mk5 throughout the 1960s, and this new release is built to recreate the specifics of that exact watch rather than just gesture at the era.

Zenith’s most famous chronograph line just lost its chronograph
Wristwatch, Dial, Time

Can you even call something a Chronomaster if it doesn’t have a chronograph?! Zenith thinks so — the Swiss manufacturer’s new Chronomaster Solo Sport has, for the first time in the collection’s history, absolutely no chronograph function anywhere on it.

The Chronomaster line has existed to showcase El Primero, the automatic chronograph movement Zenith launched in 1969. Its famous for its 5 Hz (36,000 vibrations per hour) high-frequency beat and its ability to time down to a tenth of a second. Every Chronomaster before this one basically built its entire identity around that stopwatch function.
