The company’s latest launch, the BOLDR Journey, is built on the popular BOLDR Voyage concept. A vintage, aviator-inspired design, and the unique Seiko meca-quartz movement are the key features of the watch. Its dome-shaped, durable box mineral glass lens brings a vintage look whilst creating a curve canopy surface. This allows light to create a soft, even tone on the textured watch face.

The Seiko VK64 Meca-Quartz Movement consists of a hybrid of quartz and mechanical mechanisms for the chronograph. It gives off mechanical vibes whilst containing a quartz crystal. The timekeeping mechanism is essentially quartz. With such precision and legibility of the Journey watch, you’ll never miss a second.

What’s special about the Journey is that it features a limited-edition art piece on the case back that is designed by Malaysian tattoo artist, Kevin Elijah Tan. Each watch is carefully created to represent each BOLDR watch. This is BOLDR’s first watch that encompasses limited-edition designs, available only on Kickstarter.
