Windup Watch Shop x BOLDR: The New Venture Series
Windup Watch Shop - August 31, 2026
Five years ago, we teamed up with BOLDR to make two versions of the Venture exclusively for the Windup Watch Shop. We stayed true to the spirit of the watches, but changed the layout to have a little more of an exploration vibe, and added in some color, as we're prone to do, all while keeping legibility as a core principle. With that in mind, we’re launching an all-new series of Ventures, each paying tribute to original models and incorporating a new, bolder (pun not intended) design. For the first release, the dial is a warm sandy tone with a dark gray chapter ring and crosshair. The BOLDR logo and dial text are rendered in dark red, and the date wheel is turquoise, both providing surprising points of contrast. The hour and second hands are pale gray, and the minute hand matches the date wheel. Paired with a sand-colored mil-strap, it comes together as adventurous, unique, and yet slightly understated on the wrist.
The Venture has spent eight years proving a good field watch doesn't need to shout. This new run doesn't change that; it adds cast lume, sharper color, and a reason to move quickly. Only 100 pieces of the sand dial will be made before the next colorway takes its place, with preorders open now for a late-November ship date.
