If you’ve seen the RTCC straps, then you already know that StrapHabit teamed up with Worn & Wound to support their cycling team for the 2025 Ride to Conquer Cancer. Designer Matt Smith-Johnson (a.k.a. Teenage Grandpa) and I worked together to design sailcloth straps to complement the team’s riding kit. What I haven’t shared yet is that BOLDR Supply Company also developed a watch for the campaign. As soon as I heard about it, I asked if they could send me one to review for the site, and here it is!

The watch does include a StrapHabit strap, but StrapHabit did not profit from the arrangement. I will do my best to provide an unbiased review of the watch.
First Impressions of the Worn & Wound x BOLDR Conquer LE
Worn & Wound x BOLDR Conquer LE Details
Unlike the full team kit, the Conquer itself employs a more subdued use of color. The green subdials (with subtle yellow center lines) do match the kit, but the dial is mostly a matte gray color that matches the titanium bezel. A racing-style, recessed minute track sits outside of the dial, but it is a darker gray color.
Beyond that, the dial is all business, with Arabic numerals on the 5-minute marks, with small dots in between. The branding is also subtle, in a darker gray color.
The screw-down crown features a small, green-painted ring, and the pushers are blacked out, giving it a cool, stealthy look.
Wearing the Worn & Wound x BOLDR Conquer LE
The titanium case itself is fully sand-blasted. It features sharp, angular edges as well as drilled lug holes.
It is 41mm wide and 12.5mm thick, which are excellent dimensions for a field-style watch. Due to its lightweight titanium construction, it’s easy to forget that it’s on your wrist.
The bezel is uni-directional and has 120 precise clicks.
Rectangular black hands with white-filled centers provide good contrast against the light gray dial, even when the hands are passing over the subdials.
A syringe-style tip on the minute hand also makes it easy to read the exact time.
Thick applications of lume (including on the second hand) ensure good nighttime legibility as well.
Worn & Wound x BOLDR Conquer LE Straps
As mentioned, every Conquer LE includes a StrapHabit RTCC strap. Its colors coordinate with the team colors, and the green backing also matches the subdials and accents on the watch.
For buyers who prefer a more subdued look, BOLDR also provides a green nylon strap. Both options complement the watch and are easy to swap out due to the pass-through design of the green strap and quick-release spring bars on the sailcloth.
The lug width is 20mm, so you can also swap any of your other favorite straps (although you probably wouldn't want to).

Worn & Wound x BOLDR Conquer LE Movement
The Conquer LE uses a Seiko meca-quartz movement. These are often found in affordable chronographs, as it is a low-cost way of offering the feel of a mechanical chronograph without the complication or expense. Unlike other quartz chronographs, the meca-quartz has a sweeping second hand and an instant mechanical reset mechanism. This one is the VK64 configuration, which is a bi-compax layout. The chronograph can measure seconds up to 60 minutes and also features a 24-hour indicator. BOLDR decided to keep the dial clean and leave out a date display. It offers 3 years of battery life and is rated at +/- 20 seconds per month.
In the LE, BOLDR also makes the movement visible through a transparent caseback, which features the team’s motto “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop.”
Worn & Wound x BOLDR Conquer LE Conclusion
At a price of under $500, the BOLDR Conquer LE offers excellent value. It features a titanium case and a meca-quartz movement, but on top of that, $80 from each purchase is donated to the campaign.
