BOLDR Field Medic Stealth turns a tactical chronograph into a vital-sign tool
Black-PVD titanium, a mecaquartz movement and pulse and respiration scales make the 38mm Field Medic Stealth more than another military-style chronograph.

What to know
The BOLDR Field Medic Stealth brings a very specific purpose to the tactical-watch aesthetic. Its outer dial combines markings for reading pulse and respiration rates from a stopwatch, while the small 38mm black-PVD titanium case and black NATO strap echo a military-issued field instrument. BOLDR originally designed the Field Medic family in tribute to healthcare workers.
A Seiko Instruments VK64 mecaquartz chronograph powers the black dial's paired counters. The movement is battery-operated, not automatic; its chronograph mechanism gives the pushers a mechanical-feeling response. Luminous hands and markers, a date window, flat anti-reflective sapphire and a screw-down crown make the design practical outside the clinic as well.
BOLDR rates the Field Medic Stealth to 200m water resistance and specifies a 12.2mm thickness, 44mm lug-to-lug measurement and 20mm lug width. The current official catalogue lists it at US$299. This is an established model, not claimed here as an October 2026 launch.
