Adventure to Antarctica

Leave No Trace Host, Takes on the Ice with our Fury GMT

Renowned travel expert and eco-conscious explorer, Richard Crawford, recently ventured to one of the harshest environments on the planet—Antarctica. Known for his Amazon Prime series Leave No Trace, where he showcases how even the most exotic vacations can be Eco-friendly, Crawford’s journey to the frozen continent wasn’t just an exploration of the Earth’s most remote and pristine landscapes. It was also a test of time—literally, as Crawford took Core Timepieces’ Orange Fury GMT watch on this unforgettable expedition.

This wasn’t any ordinary adventure. Antarctica is a place where the elements reign supreme, and anything that dares venture out must be prepared to withstand its wrath. With freezing temperatures plummeting to -40 degrees Fahrenheit, gale-force winds, and an environment that shows no mercy, Crawford needed equipment that could handle the extremes, and the Fury GMT delivered in without fail.

A Watch that Conquered the Cold

The Fury GMT wasn’t just a companion for Crawford on his Antarctic adventure; it became an essential tool for his navigation and survival. Engineered with precision, this rugged, bold timepiece was designed to thrive in harsh environments, and Crawford put it to the ultimate test.

“Antarctica is unlike any place on Earth,” Crawford said. “It’s raw, untouched, and unrelenting. If your gear isn’t up to scratch, the environment will chew it up and spit it out. The  Fury GMT performed like a beast.”

The freezing temperatures didn’t faze the watch one bit. In fact, the Fury GMT seemed to thrive in the cold. Its robust titanium case, stood strong against the icy winds, and the vibrant orange dial never lost its clarity, even when the polar sun reflected off the endless sheets of white snow. “At one point, we were trekking across a vast glacier, and I lost track of how long we’d been walking. The watch didn’t. It was one less thing to worry about. I knew I could rely on it completely,” he shared.

Sustainability and Adventure: A Perfect Match

As the host of Leave No Trace, he carries a message of sustainability and Eco-awareness wherever he goes. Crawford believes that travel and adventure should have as minimal an impact on the environment as possible, and Antarctica, with its fragile ecosystem, is a prime example of a place that must be protected.

“It’s a delicate balance,” Crawford said. “Antarctica is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been, but it’s also a stark reminder of how our planet is changing. Being here is both humbling and a call to action. We need to preserve these places for future generations.”

“When you’re standing on a glacier that’s been there for millennium, it really makes you think about what kind of footprint you’re leaving behind,” Crawford reflected. “Having the Fury GMT with me, knowing that it was created with care for the environment, made the experience even more meaningful.”

Tough, Stylish, and Ready for Anything

The Fury isn’t just a watch for adventurers braving the ends of the Earth. It’s also a timepiece that exudes style and versatility. Its striking orange dial is impossible to ignore, and the rugged titanium case gives it a unique edge, telling its own story as time goes on. Whether you’re summiting glaciers or navigating the urban jungle, this watch is designed for those who seek adventure while maintaining an effortless style.

Crawford’s trip to Antarctica with the Fury GMT was a testament to both the man and the machine. Together, they faced some of the toughest conditions known to humankind, and they came out victorious. As Crawford continues to travel the globe and promote Eco-friendly tourism through Leave No Trace, he can count on his Core Timepieces’ Fury GMT to be right there with him, keeping perfect time while helping him stay on track in every adventure, no matter where the journey leads. He explores his passion through many timezones.

For those seeking a timepiece that can handle the extremes while still making a bold statement, the Fury GMT is more than just a watch—it’s an adventurer’s best friend, a stylish companion, and a reminder that great design can withstand the test of time and nature.

 Antarctica has never looked so cool, and with the Fury GMT on your wrist, neither will you.
