The Boldr Venture Field Medic is inspired by the bravery of healthcare workers around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, the watch was designed for medical professionals to use to measure pulse rates and respiratory counts.
The case of the Venture Field Medic is made from ultra-light, yet durable, titanium with a non-reflective satin finish. At 38mm wide and 12.2mm thick the watch is unobtrusive on the wrist, and perfect for both men and women. A flat sapphire crystal protects the dial, and this scratch-resistant material also has an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare and improve legibility. In addition to this the Venture Field Medic has 200m water resistance, so it can be submerged in water without fear.
What makes the Venture Field Medic III special from the rest of the range is that it's coated in Protectr™. This is a long-lasting nano-tech disinfectant that kills harmful microbes effectively. This is especially useful for front-liners who are exposed to potentially harmful bacteria and coronaviruses on a daily basis. The Protectr™ coating is non-toxic, non-mutagenic, non-chemical, weather-proof, and dermatologically proven to be safe for human use.
Protectr™ is essentially a layer of sharp, nano-particle blades that pierce the membranes of dangerous microbes, effectively killing them without the need for chemicals. Worried about damaging the coating? Well, breathe easy - it will stand guard against dangerous microbes for up to 30,000 washes!
The Venture Field Medic is equipped with a Japanese Seiko VK64 meca-quartz chronograph movement. This movement has established itself as a reliable quartz movement, and as a result it’s widely used by watch manufacturers.
To use the pulse and respiratory scales, you simply start the chronograph and count the specified number of beats, stop the chronograph at the corresponding mark, and take a reading. The central seconds-hand will now be pointing to your required measurements in counts per minute.
