BODERRY Original Japanese Automatic Dive Watches

Boderry is really growing on me.....
I have a nice little watch collection, all “affordable” pieces (no $1K+ units in it yet) and I was introduced to Boderry by my wife a year or so ago picking up one of their skeletonized watches for me as a gift. I like that piece a lot (though its not all that readable but it does look cool and the movement is interesting) and when I was looking to pick up another piece, I’d seen this one on a video review so took a shot.

The pictures don’t do it justice. The blue-green of the face and strap are just amazing. They really do look great. It’s a relatively unique color even in a dive watch, but it doesn’t have the garishness of some of the bright Swatch colors when they go super colorful. It’s hard to describe and I’m not doing it justice. I don’t generally wear dive watches with sport coats, but this just looks amazing against a charcoal or deep black jacket.

I’m a bracelet not a strap guy generally, but this strap is super comfortable and I don’t intend to change it out (though you pretty easily could). The case is super light as you’d expect with Titanium and sits on my ~7″ wrist very well. It looks as good as my Orient Mako, Seiko Samurai and mini-turtle and Invicta Pro-Diver, though it appears a little smaller on the wrist than those I think due to their being on bracelets and this strap hugging my wrist a little closer.

The bezel has great action to it and I’ve noticed zero alignment issues. It clicks quite solidly and while not fully marked, it works adequately for timing things.

The crown and stem action are smooth – I’ve had zero issues setting the time, the action is solid, smooth and the screw-down has no grind or grit to it at all.

The face, with the hex design pattern on it is totally gorgeous. I just love the way it looks. Very detailed and clean even up close. The hands, while maybe not unique match the look perfectly, IMO. The lume is pretty good, though I don’t know that I currently own a watch that I’d call ‘great’ in this category, I mean can you have ‘enough’ lume? It lasts for 20-30 minutes at full strength from what I’ve experienced, but that’s not a scientific test, just what I recall from the times I’ve had it on in the dark.

I’ve had no issues with the water resistance, the screw-down crown works exactly as its supposed to and keeps water out along with the screw-down case back. I’m normally a display case kind of guy, but I do like the detailed design on the back of this watch, and at this price point display backs are a little rare.

Highly recommend picking this up if you’re looking for a diver. Boderry has picked up where Seiko abandoned a lot of us with a great cross section of design, function and wearability. They are giving Orient a run for my money when I’m looking for a new piece. They aren’t displacing them in the watch box, but they’re a serious contender for the dollar right now.

un ottimo prodotto fin dalla sua elegante custodia
come orologio rispetta la descrizione dell articolo, sono rimasto soddisfatto e ho acquistato anche quello di colore blu ed un cronografo della serie Asymmetry
Fidatevi ho altri orologi di Marche pi blasonate ma la Boderry la vedo vincente
PS spero che Boderry mi faccia almeno un regalo per la recensione positiva e l acquisto di 3 orologi che ho fatto

Originale !
Montre de petit diamtre qui convient bien au bras moyen.
Cadran trs beau surtout la nuit.
Malheureusement le mouvement peine un peu au changement de date et heure. La trotteuse a tendance tourner l’inverse du sens souhait et la couronne de remontage fait un bruit assez dsagrable.
Conclusion : une montre originale mais perfectible.
Merci au vendeur.
