The watch
Built around a sunburst deep blue dial, the Bersigar Ocular 1711 Deep Blue Chronograph pairs a 42mm case with a Seiko VK64 meca-quartz chronograph movement.

On the ChronoSeasons dial it sits at Hour IV — Dive, part of the Expedition season — and suits swimming, sailing and beach travel.
BERSIGAR Ocular 1711: Deep Blue Chronograph Edition
The BERSIGAR Ocular 1711 Deep Blue merges professional aquatic engineering with high-precision chronograph performance in a striking oceanic palette. Defined by a sculpted 42mm stainless steel case, an ultra-hard blue sapphire dive bezel with a high-contrast elapsed-time scale, a bi-compax sunburst blue dial, and an ergonomic three-link stainless steel bracelet, this sports watch delivers assertive maritime character and commanding wrist presence.
Powered by the Seiko Japanese TMI VK64 meca-quartz movement, the caliber pairs quartz-regulated timing precision with a mechanical chronograph mechanism that provides crisp pusher feedback and an instantaneous central seconds flyback reset. The dial features applied polished baton indices with strong luminous fill, faceted broad-arrow hands, a central red-accented tip on the chronograph hand, an applied Arabic numeral 12, a framed date window at 6 o'clock, and dual sub-registers tracking 60-minute elapsed timing and a 24-hour cycle. Built from solid 316L brushed and polished stainless steel, the watch is equipped with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a knurled screw-down crown, and 10 BAR (100M) water resistance.

Owners say
Wore this out on Lake Pontchartrain all weekend. The 100m rating and screw-down feel keep water out fine, and the steel bracelet rinses off salt spray easily. My only gripe is the lume is decent for a few hours after sundown but fades before morning.
I rotate through several mechanical divers and chronographs, and this Ocular 1711 holds its own as a grab-and-go piece. The Seiko VK64 meca-quartz gives you that 1/5th-second sweep when timing without worrying about power reserve between clinic days. The sapphire bezel insert has deep color matching the sunburst dial, and the anti-reflective sapphire crystal keeps glare down under hospital lights. Fits my wrist without lug overhang.
Bought this for the Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement. The pushers have a firm mechanical click and reset snap that regular quartz chronos miss, and the dual sub-registers are easy to read on my 7.25-inch wrist. Only minor thing is the internal mechanism has a slight audible sound in a dead-quiet room, though it never bothers me on shift.
Appreciate the review, Derek! The VK64 tactile snap is a favorite around here. Let us know if you ever need anything else.
Sized the steel bracelet down in ten minutes and wore it that way for a week. Swapped it onto a navy FKM rubber strap yesterday and the sunburst blue dial pops even more. Standard lugs make strap changes quick.
Checked the case with my calipers and it sits right at 42mm. Brushing on the lugs is even, the unidirectional bezel has minimal backplay, and the crown threads engage cleanly without grit. Very legible blue dial on my wrist.
Honestly wasn't sure what a $250 dive chronograph would feel like in hand, but the 316L steel links and sapphire bezel insert are legitimate. Good weight on my wrist. I swapped an extra leather strap onto it for office days and that leather was pretty stiff for the first 3-4 days before breaking in.
Thanks for giving us a shot, Steve! Glad the steel bracelet and sapphire bezel hit the mark, and that leather strap should mold nicely to your wrist now.
