Boldr Venture Titanium

Boldr is a Singapore microbrand, and the Venture is its titanium field watch. The first version ran on quartz; in 2019 it came back with the Seiko Instruments NH35A automatic, and the current case is 38 mm across, 12 mm thick and 44 mm lug to lug. The lugs are closed loops, so the strap threads through with no spring bars to fail, and the screw-down crown sits at 4 o'clock out of the way of the wrist. It is rated to 200 m, with a flat sapphire crystal, and the Arabic numerals and hands carry heavy lume. It ships on a tough nylon strap with titanium buckles, and a titanium bracelet is offered as an option. The colourways have multiplied well past the original four, which aBlogtoWatch matched to desert, jungle, sea and night. It starts at $299.
