The watch
About this watch
Built around an openworked skeleton black dial, the Bersigar Richardo 1738 Silver Black pairs a 42mm case with a Seiko VH65 quartz movement. Expect a sapphire crystal. On the ChronoSeasons dial it sits at Hour V — Chronograph, part of the Expedition season — and suits driving days, flights and timing anything that matters.
BERSIGAR Richardo 1738: Silver Black Edition
The BERSIGAR Richardo 1738 Silver Black pairs avant-garde motorsport styling with an ergonomic curved tonneau profile. Engineered with an openworked skeleton dial, visible bezel screws, and a flexible black rubber strap, this 42mm watch delivers bold wrist presence and high-performance appeal.
Powered by the Seiko Japanese VH65 quartz caliber, the movement provides battery-powered accuracy alongside a sweeping central seconds hand. The layered dial exposes intricate bridge architecture, synthetic jewel accents, and luminous hands. Machined from 316L stainless steel, the watch features an ultra-hard sapphire crystal and a screw-down crown with accent grip.

Most affordable tonneau skeleton watches use cheap clunky movements, so putting the Seiko VH65 smooth-sweep quartz inside this 42mm 316L steel case was a smart call. You get a 4Hz-style sweep over the openworked black and silver dial along with a real anti-reflective sapphire crystal. I also tested a custom leather strap adapter on it for a few days, though that leather was stiff for 3-4 days before I switched back to the black rubber.

bold look on wrist
I love wearing larger architectural watches with tailored blazers, and this 42mm tonneau skeleton in black and silver looks awesome on my 6.5-inch wrist. The folding clasp doesn't have half-step micro-adjustments, so it sits slightly snug on warm afternoons.

good vh65 tonneau build
Brushing on the 42mm tonneau bezel is uniform and the Seiko VH65 movement gives a smooth sweeping hand without worrying about winding. Fits my wrist well. Outer presentation box was fairly basic, though the watch is solid.

Appreciate the review, Carl! Glad the tonneau case and VH65 movement are working well for you.

Comfortable curved rubber strap
The fitted black rubber strap molds nicely to my wrist and makes this tonneau case super comfortable in warm Georgia weather. Outer presentation box was fairly basic, though the watch itself is where the money went.

Good Fit and Smooth Sweep
The curved profile of the 42mm tonneau case hugs my wrist comfortably, and the Seiko VH65 meca-style quartz hand ticks multiple times per second instead of a jerky jump. Solid rubber strap clasp too.

Way Better Than Expected
I usually avoid tonneau skeleton watches under $500 because the finishing can look rough, but this Richardo 1738 proved me wrong. The brushed 316L steel case, sapphire glass, and black rubber strap feel super solid.

Clean Tonneau Case Machining
The 42mm curved tonneau 316L steel case is machined evenly with crisp bezel screws and a flush sapphire crystal. The Seiko VH65 sweeping quartz movement is accurate and easy to read on my wrist.
