Expedition I Karekare

8 reviews
$699

Strikingly juxtaposed against New Zealand's inviting blue and green waters, the black sands of Karekare Beach inspired the name for our fiercest-looking Expedition in the line-up. Located in Auckland's Waitakere Ranges, the sands are remnants of an ancient volcanic crater, courtesy of Waitakere Volcano which erupted 3 to 5 million years ago. The beach also shares its name with nearby waterfalls, a breathtaking sight with delicate streams of water falling from 30m above. 

If you're lucky enough to visit Karekare Beach, get your shoes off, sink your feet into the soft black sand, and enjoy the sunset with your trusty Expedition. 

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

STUNNING PIECE

I have very little experience with watches but the Boldr Expedition I has really got me interested. It’s built tough, lum is bright and I love the power reserve. It’s a great everyday piece and fits well with pretty much any outfit. I’m very impressed and think that I’ll be purchasing more watches in the future.

A stunning piece, and Boldr are great to deal with

This watch is very well built, with great attention to detail, and the design is quite beautiful, classic yet modern, this model named after a local beach which makes it extra special.. The Boldr team are a pleasure to deal with as well, amongst the best in the microbrand watch community, thanks again.

Great watch! Please, make a chrono version.

Hi Boldr. This watch is amazing. Only the canvas strap could be better as the loops are starting to rip off. I would recommend to get it with a bracelet, as it's very solid. And one more thing - Boldr - Please, consider making a chronograph version of this watch with the same specs !!! Silver version with black dial will be an instant buy from my side.

Expedition 1 Karekare

Superb field watch. Looks good in the wild or boardroom. Clear dial, nicely finished. Accurate time keeping. Good quality strap which while a bit stiff to start with soon softens to fit your wrist and is comfortable. Watch feels weighty which I also like.
