Boldr Supply Co Five in a Row Watches

The guys at BOLDR have been on our radar for a long time now here at The Coolector and we always have our curiosity piqued whenever they’ve got a new timepiece to hit the market. There always adventure-ready and effortlessly cool and so it has proven once again with their latest offering – these ace looking Five in a Row Watches, which are available to purchase from the Worn & Wound WindUp Store. The BOLDR Five in a Row is a duo of dive watches that are based on their value-packed Venture format with a great story attached. 

Priced at $399, the BOLDR Supply Co Five in a Row Watches are perfectly suited to those men with adventure in their blood who want a timepiece that will keep pace with all their excursions. This classy offering from BOLDR Supply Co is a celebration of Five in a Row, who are a Scottish-rowing crew that competed in the 2021 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge (TWAC). They rowed 3,000 miles across the Atlantic from La Gomera to Antigua in 2-hour shifts, 24 hours a day. No mean feat.

STUNNING FEAT OF ENDURANCE

Whilst clearly an amazing feat of endurance unto itself, Five in a Row also did it in the name of a good cause – namely, raising awareness for Reverse Rett, a UK-based charity that supports those afflicted by Rett Syndrome. 15% of the proceeds from the sales of this watch from the Worn & Wound Store will go to that charity as well so it’s a timepiece that you can feel good about adding to your collection and wearing on your wrist day in, day out. We’re big fans of the bold, uncompromising aesthetic of the watch here at Coolector HQ and if you’re a fan of of BOLDR watches already, it will be right up your street as well.

The BOLDR Supply Co Five in a Row Watches ($399 from the WindUp Store) measure a neat and compact 38mm x 44mm x 12.8mm, meaning that the Five in a Row keeps the robust charm of the field-oriented Venture collection from BOLDR but also turns it into a compelling dive watch that is fit for adventure in the deep blue sea. 200m of water resistance and a sapphire crystal guarantee an impressive toughness, while the full titanium construction and a crown up at 10 keeps it light and comfortable to wear. For the Five in a Row, there is a 12-hour 60-click bezel with tide indications which was added, both important tools for a trans-Atlantic row. The dials are clean and classic dive style with a contemporary vibe. The watch is available in either full lume or dark gray dial versions.

Ticking away inside the Five in a Row Watches from BOLDR Supply Co, you’ll find an SII NH35A Automatic Movement that’s made in Japan and offers excellent reliability and performance. 24 jewels keep everything running smoothly at 21,600bph, sweeping the seconds hand around the dial. On a full wind, this automatic movement is good to go for 41 hours between wearings. The NH35A is a reliable and affordable workhorse of a movement that fits in well with the rest of the Venture’s theme. After a watch to feel good about? You’ve found it.
