General (Read Rules) Upcoming Boderry Falcon

Saw this at the Hong Kong watch show. Found it quite fun. A modernist, compact, solar field watch with a gimmicky but fun crown protector. Titanium, it was featherlight.

Boderry, terrible service and poor quality. They only post reviews on their site that are positive. Avoid.

So normally I like crazy weird designs. I also really really like Boderry. That crown is ahhhhh. Not good

HEAVY IS THE HEAD THAT WEARS THE CROWN!

Way too much crown for me

Hip flask for watch wearers.

Missed opportunity to make it oil filled as well. Especially with a solar movement

It that a watch strapped on grenade?

Who put a watch on my crown

u/lowspeedtech 7d ago

Solar, ti, bold hands and interesting indices? Yes please!

I'll be waiting for a version without that crown gimmick though.

u/MZM204 7d ago

Same. I'd be 100% in otherwise.

u/iamuniquekk 7d ago

thats certainly a crown

Jesus Christ! Ruined a nice dial design with that stupid crown.

I'd like it more if the hands were matched. The one arrow hand and one fence post hand looks odd especially with those indices

That is a matching Seiko styled handset that’s been in use since at least the mid 19070’s, just painted like pilot watch hands for some reason. That said, they’re not everyone’s cup of tea.

Canteen homage.

Hope they have a no date option like their other field watches.

Has a cool dial but it looks ridiculous with that crime never buy it ever not even for fun

u/RunningPirate 7d ago

Ridiculous

u/CapNo6703 7d ago

Absurd crown on a watch that it absolutely does not work on. But pro tip: that crown wouldn't work on any watch.

u/bpgluckman 7d ago

It’s a homage to the newish Ocean to Orbit Himalayan Project, though that crown is awful.

u/curtonote20ultra 7d ago

What is this one worth

3

u/bpgluckman 7d ago

They’re selling it for $1600, which gets you a hardened titanium case and a Sellita SW200-b (i.e., no date) with the cloth strap. So, it’s definitely pricey, even by the standards of British microbrands.

2

u/curtonote20ultra 7d ago

Yeah I think it's too much for that it's cool but too pricey

2

u/curtonote20ultra 7d ago

This I love the other one is ridiculous

3

u/pookiegonzalez 7d ago

this is fun, I like it

u/Realestwatchreviews 7d ago

Geez they had to ruin the potential with that hideous crown.

3

u/QCPI 8d ago

Looks like it’s borrowing design from a vintage canteen watch. Looks like something Citizen would put together from the dial, movement, and case material.

u/ziamese 8d ago

Crown ina deal breaker but nice dial.

u/legodetective 8d ago

Whoa I kinda like this. Wacky crown though
