Venture Rally 797 Watch

The Watch

Founded in 2015, Boldr builds ultra-durable, elegant, and functional timepieces for everyday wear. The brand introduces the Rally SRW Watch - a sport model built for any adventure, named after Daniel Wells' daughter. Its comfortable case is crafted in lightweight, tough titanium, shaped in a barrel (tonneau) form with a 38 mm diameter, 12.2 mm thickness, and a lug-to-lug length of 44 mm. A flat sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating sits on top, shielding the dial from scratches. On the right side of the case, the screw-down crown at 3 o'clock handles hours and minutes adjustment, while the rectangular pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock control the chronograph sub-dials. The screw-down caseback features embossed design engravings and delivers a water resistance of 20 ATM.

The Dial

Clean, bold, and meticulously finished, the dial of this watch features a black base with white markers and blue accents. The outer edge houses a tachymeter scale for measuring speed over a fixed distance. Inside it, a well-organized minute track features small white divisions and rectangular pill-shaped indices in blue. Arabic numerals mark the hours, except at 3 and 9 o'clock, which are occupied by the chronograph sub-dials displaying 24-hour and 60-minute readouts respectively. These sub-dials feature white outlines and are printed with Japan Superlume. The same material coats the surfaces of the numbered indices and the sword hands for hours and minutes. The seconds hand is finished in a matching blue that ties the whole dial together. The brand logo and name sit just below 12 o'clock, with the collection name above 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This watch runs on a Japanese-made hybrid meca-quartz movement - the SII VK64 caliber, a chronograph featuring three central hands for hours, minutes, and sweeping seconds, plus two sub-dials. The movement measures 13½ lignes (30.80 mm × 29.10 mm, 5.10 mm height) and is powered by a 394 battery.

The Strap

This watch is completed by a handsome black nylon strap with a central blue stripe that pairs beautifully with the dial markers. It measures 20 mm wide at the lug and fastens with a titanium pin buckle for a comfortable, secure fit.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 20 atmospheres, or 200 meters - more than enough to keep up with your aquatic adventures. It's built for freediving and can handle high-pressure washers without breaking a sweat. Shower, bath, lap swimming, and freediving? All good. That said, for scuba diving with tanks, we recommend stepping up to a higher water resistance rating. And remember: never operate the crown or pushers while submerged.
