What’s better than a great watch? A great watch that was designed for, and contributes to, a good cause. While abundantly rare, the BOLDR Field Medic chronographs are such watches. The genesis of this design came about when a designer, a doctor, and a watch brand came together to create a concept inspired by the frontline healthcare professionals battling COVID-19. They wanted to make a super tough watch that included functions that would be useful for medical professionals. The resulting design features BOLDR’s super tough and well-specced Venture case, a Seiko Meca-Quartz movement, and a dial designed with healthcare workers in mind.

Featuring a 38mm titanium barrel-case with 200m of water resistance and a flat sapphire crystal, this lightweight format was a perfect match for a watch that will be worn all-day. Additionally, titanium is exceptionally hypoallergenic, making it an ideal choice for a medical watch. The dials then feature both pulse and respiratory scales that can be used to quickly count their respective measurements with use of the chronograph complication.

A fixed amount of the proceeds ($30) from each watch goes to a variety of COVID-19 relief funds, including Doctors Without Borders and Red Cross Singapore.

The BOLDR Field Medic is powered by the Seiko VK64 Meca-Quartz Chronograph caliber. This Japanese-made hybrid movement mixes a mechanical chronograph mechanism with quartz time regulation, for the best of both worlds. The chronograph center-hand sweeps at 1/5th second intervals for smooth motion and all hands instantly reset. Additionally you’ll find a 60-minute totalizer at the nine position and a 24-hour hand at three. Battery life is approximately 36 months.
