Here's the text that came in an email to me from Boldr along with that photo
"We're elated by the great response to our latest Odyssey Bronze and Stainless Steel series, but by no means have we been resting on our laurels. We always keep our focus on our next undertaking. On the next bold step.
And boy, it's a big one - stay tuned for updates on what's in store very soon!
Thank you for supporting BOLDR."

Looks like crown on 2 & 4 and the lumed one is in 2 o clock position
I know someone in Singapore who had seen the next boldr but apparently he isn’t allowed to speak nor post photos...

I guessed wrong. It's the new Expedition. From a post on Boldr's Facebook page. Sorry can't seem to paste the link, so here's the text
"Hello everyone, here's another round of BOLDR Friday.Here's an open secret, we are launching the brand new BOLDR Expedition 2019 in the coming weeks. There will be about 5 models, here comes the fun part, can you guys name some of the models?Closest guess or most creative guesses will win something from us. Good luck!"
