We place it at Hour VI (Field & Adventure) of the Expedition season, for adventure travel and everyday rough use.
BERSIGAR Luxaura 1706: Pepsi GMT Edition
The BERSIGAR Luxaura 1706 Pepsi channels iconic aviation heritage into a rugged, high-contrast travel companion. Defined by its signature bi-color blue and red 24-hour bezel, an obsidian black dial, vintage snowflake hands, and a bold red GMT arrow hand, this 40mm timepiece provides exceptional legibility and utilitarian refinement engineered for globetrotting and daily wear.
Powered by the Pearl DG5833 GMT automatic movement, the self-winding caliber drives independent dual-timezone tracking alongside standard three-hand timekeeping, winding automatically via natural wrist motion without batteries. The high-contrast dial features strong luminescent geometric markers, angular snowflake hands, and a framed date window at 3 o'clock. Machined from solid 316L brushed stainless steel with an oversized screw-down crown featuring a red accent ring, the watch is fitted with an Oyster-style solid steel three-link bracelet, an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, and robust water-resistant construction rated for 10 BAR (100M).

Owners say
With a larger wrist it can be tough finding a 40mm watch that doesn't look lost, but the lug profile and solid steel bracelet give it great presence with a button-down shirt. Easy to dress up for office days.
Picked this up for our fifth wedding anniversary because my husband is super picky about watches and wanted a red-and-blue GMT he could wear on trips without worrying. He sized it that night and has worn it every day since.
Bought this for vendor meetings and travel days. The 40mm brushed case clears my shirt cuffs easily and the blue-red bezel adds a classic look. Only quirk is the crown threads are tight at first and take a firm push to catch.
At $290 I wasn't sure if the bracelet would feel hollow, so I was pleasantly surprised when I unboxed it. Solid 316L brushed links, a crisp anti-reflective sapphire crystal, and a reassuring weight on my 7.5-inch wrist.
Been wearing this to my accounting firm all week and out for drinks on Friday. The matte black dial and blue-red bezel look even cleaner in natural light than on the site, and the steel bracelet is super comfortable.
