molded black rubber strap
The fitted black PVC rubber strap curves cleanly down from the 42mm tonneau lugs and balances the heavy steel case on my wrist. Much more comfortable in warm weather than leather.

The watch
The Bersigar Richardo YS018 Gold Black is a 42mm statement watch with an openworked skeleton black dial, powered by a Seiko SX5021 movement. Highlights include a sapphire crystal. On the ChronoSeasons dial it sits at Hour XI — Statement & Bold, part of the Legacy season — and suits celebrations and evenings out.
The BERSIGAR Richardo YS018 Gold Black delivers high-contrast motorsport styling with aggressive avant-garde engineering. Defined by an ergonomic tonneau case finished in matte black with vibrant gold-tone flank accents, exposed bezel hardware, an openworked skeleton dial with rich gold-toned bridge architecture, and an integrated ventilated black rubber strap, this 42mm timepiece commands attention with bold mechanical presence.
Powered by the Seiko Japanese SX5021 movement, the caliber pairs quartz-regulated accuracy with the fluid sweep of a mechanical central seconds hand. The fully transparent dial showcases suspended golden structural bridges, visible wheel-train detailing, synthetic jewel pivots, and luminous skeleton hands framed by an inner tachymetric chapter ring. Built from solid 316L stainless steel, the watch features an ultra-hard sapphire crystal, an ergonomic textured rubber strap, and an oversized threaded crown.

Owners say
The fitted black PVC rubber strap curves cleanly down from the 42mm tonneau lugs and balances the heavy steel case on my wrist. Much more comfortable in warm weather than leather.
The gold accents inside the openworked black dial catch the light way better in person than in photos. Comfortable on my wrist, though the folding clasp lacks half-step adjustments so it gets slightly snug in coastal humidity.
Thanks for the feedback, Ralph! Glad the gold and black skeleton dial stands out in person.
Picked this up for my son before his wedding rehearsal dinner. He wanted a bold black and gold skeleton watch for the reception, and this YS018 looked incredible with his tuxedo.
When I am heading to an evening client dinner or architecture award reception, this 42mm gold and black tonneau adds real presence with a black blazer and clears my cuff fine.
Love the mechanical race-car instrument aesthetic of this 42mm tonneau case. The gold-tone bridges against the black case and Seiko SX5021 movement look sharp on my wrist during weekend drives.
Bought the YS018 Gold Black for my brother's retirement party from the department. He loves bold gold-and-black watches and wore it out to dinner that same night, though he noted the small inner numerals take reading glasses to see.
Congratulations to your brother on his retirement from the department, Dylan! Thanks for celebrating with us.
The black and gold tonneau case with the openworked skeleton bridges has a great high-performance motorsport look on my wrist. Only minor thing is the inner subdial markers are a little small without my reading glasses.
Fits my wrist like a glove. Gold skeleton bridges look awesome.
Thank you, Harold! Glad it fits your wrist so well.
This was my second order after being impressed by their 39mm chrono, and I was curious how a $380 skeleton tonneau would be finished. The black and gold PVD work on the 316L case and anti-reflective sapphire crystal are top notch.
I was hesitant spending $380 on an online brand I hadn't handled in person, but the weight of the black-and-gold 316L steel tonneau case and clarity of the sapphire crystal completely sold me.
Thanks for taking a chance on us, Kenneth! Thrilled the YS018 Gold Black delivered in person.
