We’re big fans of a stealthy design aesthetic here at The Coolector and, so far as watches are concerned, they don’t come much stealthier than the Vogelkop Superb Watch from the guys at BOLDR Supply Co. This effortlessly classy-looking watch is a follow up to the ultra-dark Venture Singularity Watch that BOLDR released in August 2022 to an outstanding response with the brand’s first-ever use of Musou Black paint, which absorbs 99.4% of light.
The BOLDR Supply Co Vogelkop Superb Watch is priced at £373 and boasts a solid stainless steel build that measures a comfy 40mm size with an integrated bracelet. The case is coated with DeepPVD, a darker shade of PVD to complement the devilishly stealthy look of the dial. The dial is painted in Musou Black with Super AR coating, which are multiple layers of anti-reflective coating to preserve its ultra-dark aesthetic and ensure that this awesome timepiece will turn heads everywhere you go.
This watch is named after the Vogelkop Superb Bird of Paradise (Lophorina niedda) which is found in the West Papua region of Indonesia. Previously thought to be the same species as the Greater Superb Bird of Paradise, the Vogelkop Superb is characterized by striking black plumage, iridescent green & blue feathers on the head, and a long, wire-like tail. Resting on top of a 120-clicks bezel are iridescent “eyes” that can be used for tracking elapsed time – both the “eyes” and hands have been coated in Japanese Super-LumiNova®. Last but not least, the caseback depicts topographic artwork of the Vogelkop Superb bird of paradise, a knowing nod to its uniqueness and a call to raise awareness of threats to their natural habitat.
