Ranger Kopje
7Kopjes are piles of ancient rocks dotted around the Serengeti, formed more than 500 million years ago from the Ngorongoro volcano debris. The soil surrounding the rocks is a rich & fertile home to multiple ecosystems, and they provide a vantage point for predators.
This Safari Ranger is a compact beast forged with stainless steel and a determination for exploration. Measuring 40mm across your wrist, it has the simple elegance of a field-style tool watch.
The beauty of a California dial never ceases to amaze us. Add to that a vibrant colorway shining through a flat sapphire crystal and you've got a stunner. Our brand- new case has a charm of its own, too - peep those convex grooves that provide a firm finger hold while using the screw-down crown.
Depicted on the case back is one of four (at random) animal species found on a typical safari, a reminder to conserve our wildlife population. In an age of digital technology, we daresay an old-school toughie like this is a natural selection.

GermanyThe Brilliant Ranger Kopje
I’ve had my Ranger Kopje for a month, so it’s a good time to leave a review. The colors and legibility of the dial are phenomenal. Combined with the AR coated sapphire lens, which completely eliminates distortion and glare, this has been my go-to timepiece for, both, driving and outdoor recreation. The convex case shape is a unique element that makes the Kopje visually stand out amongst other field watches, where most offerings all look about the same. I personally like the design, and the way the dial slopes up to meet the edge of the flat crystal is beautiful. The tactile finish also makes the watch quite easy to grip when operating the crown. It’s been mostly overcast in Germany over the last month, so I haven’t been able to fully charge up the lume. However, it seems adequate if not outstanding. The included nato strap is soft to the touch and well-made. If nato isn’t your thing, the Kopje’s 20mm lug width means you can replace it with pretty much any strap you like. The NH35A movement inside isn’t anything to write home about, but it’s reliable and keeps great time. One thing to note is that Boldr didn’t modify the movement to remove the calendar components, despite the Kopje being a no-date watch. This results in a “ghost date” crown position, which doesn’t bother me at all, but is a negative for some watch enthusiasts. Honestly, it’s hard to consider this a fault, since utilizing an inexpensive, stock movement is most certainly a big reason for the reasonable price point of the timepiece. Overall, I’m quite impressed with my first Boldr watch, and I look forward to seeing this microbrand develop.
United StatesGreat watch!
Overall I feel it’s a great value for price. Love the California dial. Keeps excellent time so far; only 5-6 seconds slow in a week. Only complaint is lume is not as bright as I would love, but have other Seikos that really are bright. Still, would buy this again. Will likely buy another Boldr when I need one.
BahrainA Ranger Indeed
The watch is simply excellent for everyday use! The strap is noticeably thinner and softer (but just as strong) as compared to the old venture straps. The finsih and build quality is excellent and the watch keeps almost perfect time! It has been on my wrist since the day i got it! There is one little disappointment...the Lume is not as good as the usual Boldr standards. I expected a brighter lume but got a faded glow. Overall i love the watch and would recommend it to anyone looking for a field watch. Would be even better in titanium!
SingaporeFantastic field watch
This will be my next everyday field watch. The built and finishing is fantastic.
