Merlion 50th Anniversary

A tribute to a cherished national icon - the Merlion 50 is a 40mm BOLDR Safari dive watch encased in full stainless steel and rated for 20 ATM. Designed with a sunburst blue dial face, its unique indexes are inspired by the official symbol (situated at 10 o’clock) of Merlion’s 50th Anniversary.

The logo is a stylized take on the iconic Merlion statue which spouts water from its mouth - the ‘5’ representing the waterspout and the ‘0’ as the Merlion itself, coated in gold to mark its Golden Jubilee. The geometric twists and wave-like structures of the logo are a nod to Singapore’s cityscape and riverside surroundings, a design we adapted to the accompanying indexes. 

Built for any adventure, the case has a 60-minute unidirectional dive bezel (exclusive to this model) lumed at 15-minute markers and a flat sapphire crystal with AR.

We hope this piece brings you prosperity and a brighter future!
