What to know
BOLDR's Venture Velo Nocturne takes the high-visibility philosophy of its cycling-focused chronographs and reduces the palette to black and white. A matte black dial, bright round markers and restrained twin registers sit inside the faceted titanium Venture case. A black 12-hour bezel, pushers and crown extend the nighttime mood.
The Japanese VK64 mecaquartz movement runs from a battery and operates the chronograph; this is not a mechanical automatic. It is protected by an anti-reflective flat sapphire crystal and a screw-down crown. BOLDR specifies 200m water resistance, placing the Velo well beyond the needs of everyday commuting or wet-weather cycling.
The 41mm titanium case is 12.5mm thick and 46mm from lug to lug, with a black 20mm nylon strap. At US$399 on the October 2026 BOLDR catalogue, the Velo Nocturne offers a visually clean technical chronograph. Its original announcement date is not shown on the manufacturer product page.
