BOLDR Safari GMT Banff sports watch - Automatic

Automatic watch with dual zone GMT hand, aluminium insert fixed bezel ans sapphire gals front and back

The Boldr Safari GMT Banff is a versatile and rugged timepiece that stands out in the crowded field of affordable automatic GMT watches. The colourway is inspired by the breathtaking beauty of Canada's Banff National Park. Here’s your detailed review:

Design and Build

The Safari GMT Banff features a 40mm stainless steel case with a bead-blasted finish, giving it a robust and rugged look. The case design includes flared sides and semi-hooded lugs, which add to its unique aesthetic, as does the slit teal/black outer 24 hour marker ring which is finished in enamel. The knurled screw-down crown ensures a secure grip, enhancing the watch's rugged appeal.

Dial and Hands

The dial is well-balanced and legible, with a California dial layout that combines Arabic numerals at the 12, 6 and 9 position in between the indices, with at date window at the 3 o'clock position.

To accommodate the GMT function a matching teal coloured hand and an inner 24-hour dial to enable tracking of a second time zone. Luminosity is provided by Japan LumiNova, providing excellent visibility in low-light conditions. Of particular appeal is the teal dial that fades to black at the edges, but looks darker depending on the light angle. It appears almost black from certain angles and is very cleverly done.

Movement

At the heart of the Safari GMT Banff is the Seiko NH34 GMT movement. This movement is known for its reliability, making it a popular choice among microbrands and is a dependable workhorse that will serve you well for many years. 3 year warranty on the movement.

Comfort and Wearability

With a 40mm diameter and a thickness of 12.5mm, the Safari GMT Banff sits comfortably on the wrist. In fact we feel that it actually looks a little smaller than it's actual size. Again, credit must go to Boldr here as many watches that feature an outer ring can appear overly large and awkward but the company have got the balance just right here.

The 20mm lug width allows for a variety of strap options, and the watch comes with a sandblasted stainless steel bracelet with adjustable milled clasp that complements its rugged design. The overall weight of 150 grams ensures it feels substantial without being overly heavy.

Versatility

One of the standout features of the Safari GMT Banff is its versatility. It strikes a nice balance between a sporty and everyday watch, making it suitable for various occasions. Whether you're exploring the outdoors or navigating the urban jungle, this watch is designed to handle it all.

Conclusion

The Boldr Safari GMT Banff is a well-rounded timepiece that offers a lot of value, not least in it's unique aesthetics. Its robust design, reliable movement, and versatile style make it a great choice for anyone looking for an affordable GMT watch with a touch of adventure. Boldr fans and newcomers alike will find much to appreciate in this fabulous timepiece.
