Expedition I Karakum

This fiery Expedition is named after Turkmenistan’s famed Karakum desert, home to the Darvaza crater, or the “Gates of Hell”. The massive man-made sinkhole has been leaking methane gas for decades, showing no signs of burning out anytime soon. Karakum Desert is also known by Gara Gum (“Black Sand”), and it occupies around 70 percent of Turkmenistan, extending some 500 miles (800 km) from west to east and 300 miles (500 km) from north to south. Did you know that fruit is grown in some areas of the desert? The nature of its multiple interdune depressions (takyr) form thick clay deposits, which act as catchment basins for its scarce moisture - thus allowing fruits such as melons and grapes to grow in its mineral-rich soil. 

The Expedition I Karakum is built to outlast such challenging terrains, so strap yours on and gear up to get back on trek.  

Each model is serialized from 001 - 300. Limited to 300 pieces.

I just like it

I think for what it offers you get a great watch. If you love the look just get it. For me the value is there. The knurled crowns got me good. The second hand almost sweeps if you’re not paying close attention. The lume is awesome. The strap isn’t my favorite color but is bulletproof and upgradable. Mine is 13 sec slow per day which is just fine. My everyday watch. Solid, tough, and a slight upgrade to Hamilton’s look with 90% the value.

Absolutely fantastic!

This is my 3rd Boldr purchase. I have the Boldr Odyssey Freediver Meteo635 and the Field Medic II. The watch arrived quickly and is exactly what I needed—a durable everyday watch with good water resistance and doesn't break the bank. I love the internal rotating bezel (though frankly never use it) and the pops of color. Lume is fantastic! I changed the strap out for a silicone strap since I work in a hospital and wanted something I could sanitize entirely.

Nice Watch

I like the watch. Its a heavie, solid peace of handwork. The edge of the crown is a bit to sharp.

Customer service good

The replacement watch head is running + 3 seconds per day. A good result and a save by customer service. The first Sellita 200-1 movement was misaligned and stopping after 4 min 28 secs every time. But HY at Boldr sent a replacement watch head from Singapore to exchange for the defective one. I appreciate the watch among the collection. It looks best for me on a thick Horween strap from Boldr, with a very reasonable $29 price. Relieved that I bought direct from the Boldr site, due to a defective Swiss movement.
