Boldr Supply Co has forged a reputation for crafting timepieces built for the rigours of adventure, and their Odyssey series has long been the flagship for serious dive capability. Now, they’ve unleashed a beefed-up version that takes things to the next level: the Boldr Supply Co Odyssey Black Abyss 2.0. This isn’t just a watch; it’s a robust instrument designed to tackle the most demanding underwater environments while still looking utterly cool on dry land. Limited to a mere 100 pieces, each individually serialised, snagging one of these is like getting your hands on a piece of genuinely tough, exclusive kit.
The first thing you notice about the Odyssey Black Abyss 2.0 is its presence. Housed in a chunky 45.5mm case crafted from aged 316L stainless steel, it exudes an immediate sense of durability. With a substantial 16.8mm thickness and a 52mm lug-to-lug, this is a watch that means business on the wrist, yet the 22mm lug width keeps strap options versatile. This isn’t just desk-diver stuff either; it boasts an incredible 500m (1650ft), 50 ATM water resistance rating, making it genuinely adept at deep-sea exploration, further aided by a built-in helium escape valve. The 120-click unidirectional stainless steel bezel offers precise timing for your dives or just timing your pizza delivery.
Underneath that robust exterior, the Odyssey Black Abyss 2.0 is powered by the reliable Swiss Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. Considered a true workhorse in the industry, this movement ensures accurate and consistent timekeeping, so you can focus on your adventure knowing your time is in good hands.
The dial features a captivating matte textured ‘moon face’ finish, adding a unique visual depth. Legibility, crucial for any dive watch, is absolutely top-notch thanks to copious amounts of BGW9 Swiss Super-LumiNova® on the hands and hour markers, glowing with a powerful blue luminescence in low light conditions – perfect for the black abyss it’s named after. Protecting this impressive dial is a double dome sapphire crystal with inner side AR-coating, providing crystal-clear views and excellent scratch resistance.
Operating the watch is a breeze, even with gloves, thanks to the screw-down crown featuring a custom embossed Boldr logo – a neat touch that underscores the brand’s attention to detail. For a secure and comfortable fit, especially when wet, the watch comes fitted with Boldr’s very own Druber® fluoroelastomer black rubber strap, known for its durability and flexibility.
Flipping the watch over reveals a solid, single-piece screw-down case back emblazoned with embossed limited edition artwork, further marking its exclusivity. Packing all this extreme capability and thoughtful design into a package that comes in at just $799 makes the Boldr Supply Co Odyssey Black Abyss 2.0 a seriously compelling proposition for anyone seeking a high-performance diver that’s ready for anything. This is a watch built to outlast any adventure, whether it’s exploring underwater caves or simply navigating the urban jungle. Grab one of the 100 if you can.
