BOMBERG is a Swiss watchmaking brand that prides itself on being independent, agile, and forward-thinking. Based in Neuchâtel, it is committed to crafting bold, innovative, and timeless timepieces. Its models break the mold, standing out through their unique designs and distinctive details. This magnificent BOLT-68 Racing BS45CHSP.059-22.12 is no exception - it exudes a refined, race-inspired style. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a passionate enthusiast, this watch is the ultimate tribute to your love of speed and performance. Its round case, defined by brushed and textured lines, is crafted in silver-tone stainless steel. It measures 45 mm in diameter, making it a perfect fit for men's wrists, while its 13 mm thickness gives it a bold, imposing presence. The polished bezel features a black aluminum insert engraved with a tachymeter scale for measuring the speed of a moving object. A sapphire crystal protects the dial from everyday shocks, enhanced with an anti-reflective coating for optimal readability from every angle. Functions are adjusted via the screwed crown at 12 o'clock, along with a pushbutton at 1 o'clock and another at 11 o'clock topped by an orange lever - all accentuating the watch's sporty design and paying homage to the art of motorsport. On the caseback of this 134 g model, a snap-back featuring an engraved finish ensures water resistance of 5 ATM. Finally, this superb watch comes in a beautiful presentation box containing a travel watch case, a 2-year warranty card, and a travel pouch for the chain and medallion - two accessories that allow you to transform it into a pocket watch.

The Dial

The dial strikes a balance between understated and sophisticated, delivering clear legibility in a refined style. Its blue background is brought to life by orange and black stripes, creating a bold tonal contrast that adds character to the design. Two large sword hands sweep from the center, displaying the hours and minutes, pointing to oversized Arabic numeral indices around the perimeter. These are complemented by a minute track for greater time-reading precision. Notably, the markers and the arrow at 9 o'clock are filled with green Luminova - a luminescent treatment that keeps the indicators readable even in the dark. The orange seconds hand of the chronograph adds a final dynamic touch. Three sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock display small seconds, 30-minute, and 1/10-second counters respectively. The brand's name is printed at 12 o'clock as a signature, and the "Swiss Made" label is noted at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

Powering this timepiece is a high-performance Swiss quartz movement - specifically the Ronda 3540.D caliber - ensuring the smooth operation of the sub-dials and hands. Reliable and robust, this 4.90 mm-tall movement features 5 jewels and offers an accuracy of -10/+20 sec/month. It is equipped with a central stop-seconds device (1/1 s) as well as ADD and SPLIT functions. It runs on a 384 battery with an impressive battery life of 54 months.

The Strap

This stunning watch features a striking strap that adds a sporty, contemporary edge to the case design. Crafted from blue silicone, it's fitted with perforations for a one-of-a-kind look, while an orange stripe brings a refined finishing touch. Timeless and versatile, it pairs effortlessly with your finest outfits. The strap is secured by a brushed silver-tone ardillon buckle in stainless steel for a perfect fit around the wrist.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters - or 5 ATM in watchmaking terms - this timepiece can handle the occasional splash, but shouldn't be exposed to water for extended periods. You can wear it in the shower from time to time, but to preserve the quality and precision of the movement, our watch specialists strongly recommend keeping it away from baths, pools, and the sea. Bottom line: no swimming or diving, and avoid prolonged contact or immersion.
