Timex Teams With Mr. Porter For New Special Edition Field Watch

Timex continues its streak of savvy collabs with these sharp new timepieces created with Mr. Porter—watches with a stripped-down style that looks good in just about any situation. It’s dubbed “MK1” and that minimalist name reflects its military roots. 

It’s based on a standard-issue timepiece style the U.S. military adopted in the 1980s. That’s the thing about the military—they don’t go for frills, but they like durability and versatility. Both flavors of the MK1 nail that aesthetic.

Timex’s MK1 is available in aluminum with an oiled canvas strap and also a blackened aluminum look and comfortable grosgrain strap.

The MK1 comes in a 41 mm case and features quartz movement, date, Timex’s standard-issue Indiglo backlight and a black dial with sword hands. And yeah, they’re tough.

The MK1 is water-resistant down to 30 meters (about 100 feet) and they come in an elegant, old-school Timex Archive presentation case.

Best of all: the price. The aluminum with an oiled canvas strap costs $115 and the blacked-out model with grosgrain is $105. Order yours here today.

These Danner Bull Run Lux Boots Are Made for 4×4 Owners

Those who drive an off-roader like a Jeep Wrangler or a Chevy pickup should ask themselves: Do my shoes match my ride? 

If the answer is “no,” then they should definitely consider copping the Danner Bull Run Lux boots. 

These all-weather kicks are constructed from naturally-milled, flexible nubuck leather that’s tough enough to take on treacherous hikes but still offers plenty of give.

The footwear brand reworked their classic Bull Run design to create a modern shape that adheres seamlessly to the anatomy of the foot. The panels were also shaved down prior to stitching, ensuring a perfectly secure fit. 

To showcase the all-terrain kicks, Danner enlisted the help Icon 4×4 founder Jonathan Ward, the man behind badass restomods like this Ford Bronco. His pair certainly looks right at home planted firmly on the step of Icon’s custom Toyota Land Cruiser FJ44.

Available in Sunstone or Burro Brown colorways, the Danner Bull Run Lux boots are available now for $210 online

Tinder Announces New ‘Festival Mode’ to Make it Easier to Hook Up at Music Festivals

Online dating is about to get a whole lot crazier because dating app Tinder just announced the launch of a new “Festival Mode” feature, designed to match singles who looking for a little fun at music festivals.

The feature adds a badge to your profile, indicating the music festival you’ll be attending to make it easier to spot someone who’ll be at the same festival.

Festival Mode was developed in partnership with AEG Worldwide and Live Nation, and will be available at festivals in the United States, U.K., and Australia.

To get more specific, festivalgoers can swipe to their heart’s content at:

EDC Las Vegas — May 17
Hangout Music Fest — May 17
All Points East (U.K.) — May 24
Governors Ball — May 31
Parklife (U.K.) — June 8
Bonnaroo — June 13
Firefly — June 21
British Summer Time (U.K.) — July 5
Lovebox (U.K.) — July 12
Faster Horses — July 19
Hard Summer — August 3
EDC Orlando — November 9

Considering the spike in Tinder use during past festivals, this is a great idea. At last year’s Hangout Fest, registrations on the app increased 30-fold, and overall activity increased 300x at Bonnaroo in 2018.

“It’s no secret that Tinder is a must-have app for singles attending music festivals around the world. We consistently see a spike in Tinder use as tens of thousands of music fans come together, so we wanted to create a new experience that makes it easier to connect with other concert-goers before even setting foot on festival grounds,” says Tinder CMO Jenny Campbell. 

“We’ve partnered with some of the biggest names in the entertainment and events industry to make that happen, and we couldn’t be more excited to help Tinder users find their crowd during these events for the rest of 2019.”

In February 2019, Tinder had also launched a “Spring Break” mode to make booze-fueled college hookups even easier to find. This feature was only available until March 31, but luckily Festival Mode now exists to make up for it.
