Boken is a British watch brand established in 2023 and based in Henley-on-Thames, United Kingdom. Taking its name from the Japanese word for “adventure”, the company was founded by Daniel Banks and Nacho Fernandez. The brand focuses on designing tool timepieces engineered for outdoor capability, everyday utility, and extreme environments.
Enthusiasts and collectors are drawn to Boken timepieces due to their high-specification construction, rugged aesthetics, and focus on functional legibility. The watches feature robust water-resistance, high-visibility Super-LumiNova luminescence, durable stainless steel or titanium cases, and reliable Swiss mechanical movements, such as Sellita calibers, regulated for enhanced accuracy. Additionally, the brand emphasizes domestic assembly in the United Kingdom through horological partners and involves its collector community in the design process.
The brand’s portfolio is defined by key collections built for rugged environments: – The Odyssey: Boken’s flagship dive watch designed for extreme aquatic performance, featuring heavy-duty specifications such as water resistance rated up to 1,000 meters. – The Breacher: A purpose-built field-meets-tool watch featuring a 39mm case layout, high-contrast dial indices, and option choices of automatic time-only movements or dual-time GMT functions. – 300M Titanium: A limited-edition release constructed from high-grade titanium, offering lightweight durability suited for multisport and outdoor activities.
