Best Bomberg watches to check out: If you’re bored of safe, predictable watch designs, Bomberg is the kind of brand that feels like a reset—bold shapes, statement dials, and a personality that doesn’t blend into the background. It’s for days when you want your accessories to do more than just “match.”
Bomberg watches to consider on ZALORA Philippines
These pieces are curated from ZALORA Philippines’ Bomberg selection, focusing on models that bring that break-the-mold energy without feeling costume-y. Expect strong wrist presence, conversation-starting details, and styles that work best when you keep the rest of the outfit clean and let the watch lead.
Bomberg in one line: bold, graphic watches that lean on quartz practicality, big case sizes, and “hard-wearing” details like sapphire glass on most of these picks. Sapphire is typically far more scratch-resistant than mineral glass, which is why it’s often treated as an upgrade for everyday wear. And when you see 50m water resistance, think daily splashes and shallow swimming—not diving.
The five watches, in detail
Bomberg BOLT-68 LIMITED EDITION NINJA BLUE QUARTZ 45mm
A 45mm quartz chronograph with a stainless-steel case in black PVD, sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating, blue silicone strap, date at 12 o’clock, and 50m water resistance. The blue/black palette is the hook here, and the silicone strap keeps it sporty rather than dressy.
Best for
- People who like statement watches and don’t want to baby them; sapphire + silicone is a practical combo for daily wear.
- Those who want the chronograph look and a bold 45mm presence.
Not ideal for
- Smaller wrists or anyone who dislikes a tall watch; 45mm with 14.7mm thickness is visually dominant.
- Buyers who expect “limited edition” extras in the box; chain/medallion is explicitly not included.
Pro-tip
- If you wear it daily, rinse the silicone strap after sweaty days; it keeps the strap from picking up odour and dullness over time.
Bomberg BB-01 Quartz 38mm CT38H3PBA.05-2.9
A 38mm quartz watch with stainless steel/black PVD case, pink/black dial, mineral glass, and a black-and-pink NATO fabric strap, rated at 30m water resistance. This one reads more casual and lightweight than the Bolt-68 pieces.
Best for
- Anyone who wants a smaller case size and a more “everyday casual” strap setup (NATO is easy to wear and easy to swap).
- People who like colour without going full neon.
Not ideal for
- Those who are hard on watch crystals; mineral glass scratches more easily than sapphire.
- Water-heavy routines; 30m is better treated as splash-resistant rather than swim-ready.
Pro-tip
- If you’re keeping it as a daily watch, consider a simple crystal-protection habit (avoid keys/metal desk edges); mineral shows wear sooner.
Bomberg 1968 Indian Skull Blue 40mm RS40H3SS.144.3
A 40mm quartz watch with sapphire crystal, a blue nylon strap, 50m water resistance, and a dial design that uses Swarovski stones to form an “Indian skull” motif. It’s a graphic piece, but the case size is more manageable than the 45mm models.
Best for
- Collectors who enjoy themed dials and want something conversation-starting without an oversized case.
- People who prefer nylon straps for comfort and a lighter feel on the wrist.
Not ideal for
- Minimalists; the dial is meant to be seen and noticed.
- Anyone who dislikes sparkle details; Swarovski stones are a deliberate styling choice.
Pro-tip
- Keep nylon straps dry between wears; rotating straps helps prevent that “always damp” feeling in humid weather.

Bomberg BB-68 Dark Blue & Silver 44mm NS44CHSS.211.9
A 44mm quartz chronograph with sapphire crystal, stainless-steel bracelet, folding clasp, and 50m water resistance. It’s the most “metal watch” option here—heavier, shinier, and closer to a traditional sports chronograph look.
Best for
- Buyers who prefer bracelets over straps and want a watch that looks complete with both casual and sharper outfits.
- People who like blue dials but want them in a more classic format.
Not ideal for
- Those who dislike weight; bracelets and larger cases feel noticeably heavier across long days.
- Anyone who needs micro-adjustability on the fly; bracelets are less forgiving than silicone or fabric.
Pro-tip
- Get the bracelet sized properly and keep one removable link handy; comfort improves drastically when the fit is dialled in.
Bomberg BOLT-68 RACING 45mm (BS45CHSP.059-3.10)
A 45mm quartz chronograph with sapphire glass, screwed-down crown/pushers, 50m water resistance, and a perforated silicone strap. The dial details (clou de Paris finishing, inner bezel, luminous hands) aim for a more “instrument” vibe than the Ninja edition.
Best for
- Sporty daily wear where you want a bright dial and easy-clean strap.
- People who like big watches but want the wearing experience to stay light (silicone helps with that).
Not ideal for
- Formal wardrobes; a perforated silicone strap reads athletic, not dress.
- Anyone expecting chain/medallion accessories; those are not included here either.
Pro-tip
- Even with 50m water resistance, avoid hot showers and steam; heat and pressure changes are what water-resistance guides warn against in real life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is sapphire glass really better than mineral glass?
For scratch resistance, yes—sapphire is significantly more scratch-resistant, while mineral tends to pick up surface marks sooner.
What does 50m water resistance mean in practical use?
50m is generally suitable for splashes, sinks, and shallow swimming, but it’s not meant for snorkeling or scuba diving.
Does a screwed-down crown make a watch “waterproof”?
It helps improve sealing when properly secured, but no watch is truly waterproof; water resistance still has limits and needs sensible use.
Why choose quartz over automatic for these styles?
Quartz is low-maintenance and accurate for daily wear, which suits statement watches that are worn on rotation rather than serviced like heirloom pieces.
