Why We Love This Deal
Huckberry’s sale section just got a fresh rotation of healthy-looking deals, with everything from Flint and Tinder jackets to Relwen puffer hoodies sporting new markdowns. There was one particular deal that instantly caught my attention, and that was a watch that Huckberry did in collaboration with Timex. It brings new life to this highly sought-after Black Max watch, and right now, it’s $100 off.
Now just $149, the Huckberry x Timex 41mm 1979 Black Max Watch is a special retro watch that won't take anybody who likes cool watches much persuading to add to their current collection. With its sexy-looking, sleek design and now killer price point, it’s a no-brainer.

After sifting through the archives, Huckberry and Timex teamed up to reissue the original 1979 Black Max, take its racing-inspired design, and give it a glow-up. This modern version keeps the same bold, black-out vibe but ups the proportion to a more sizeable 41mm brushed stainless steel case and matching steel bracelet.
The gray tachymeter pops against the black dial and bold numerals, while the quartz movement offers highly accurate timekeeping, and the watch holds a solid 100 meters of weather resistance. Plus, with a more universal 20mm lug, you can even swap out the steel for a leather or NATO strap down the road.
Timex is known for doing collaborations with tons of different brands, but this one with Huckberry just feels spot on. For a legit late ‘70s-inspired Timex with the design and specs it has, its price of under $150 is astounding.
