The watch
Bersigar Timecraft 1668 Silver Black Stainless Steel: a dive watch in a 43mm solid 316L stainless steel case, driven by a Seiko NH35A automatic movement. Expect a unidirectional rotating sapphire dive bezel, 100m water resistance and a sapphire crystal. On the ChronoSeasons dial it sits at Hour IV — Dive, part of the Expedition season — and suits travel days near the water.
BERSIGAR Timecraft 1668: Silver Black Stainless Steel Edition
The BERSIGAR Timecraft 1668 Silver Black Stainless Steel embodies high-performance dive tool engineering executed in classic monochromatic steel. Defined by a sculpted 43mm stainless steel case, an ultra-durable black sapphire dive bezel, a horizontal deck-patterned black dial, and a solid three-link stainless steel oyster-style bracelet, this automatic timepiece delivers rugged maritime capability and timeless everyday versatility.
Powered by the Seiko Japanese TMI NH35A automatic caliber, the self-winding mechanical movement features manual winding, hacking seconds, and a reliable power reserve fueled entirely by natural wrist kinetic energy. The deep black dial showcases textured horizontal teak-groove striations, accented by bold applied trapezoidal and baton hour indices with strong luminous fill, faceted baton hands, a yellow-tipped seconds hand, and a framed date window at 3 o'clock. Machined from solid 316L brushed and polished stainless steel, the watch is equipped with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a scratch-resistant sapphire dive bezel insert, a comfort folding clasp mechanism, and a threaded screw-down crown providing 10 BAR (100M) water resistance.

From the journal
Owners say
As an old Weekend SCCA driver in Connecticut, I appreciate a watch with a crisp timing bezel and zero glare. The sapphire bezel insert and AR-coated crystal on this 43mm Timecraft make quick time checks effortless, and the NH35A automatic winds smoothly.
Gave this to my dad for his 65th birthday in Oklahoma City. He loves the hefty stainless steel feel and the Seiko automatic movement. He did mention the clasp could use an extra micro-adjustment hole for hot afternoons, but it rarely leaves his wrist.
Took two links out of the solid 316L bracelet for my wrist, and also tested it on a black sailcloth strap. The brushed and polished case lugs frame both setups cleanly, and the horizontal teak dial looks great in the sun.
Took this out to a vintage road rally and used the unidirectional sapphire bezel to track stage intervals. On my wrist the 43mm case feels substantial, and the high-contrast hands over the black teak dial are easy to read at speed.
Glad the Timecraft 1668 kept pace at the road rally, Bobby! Enjoy wearing it.
I was skeptical about ordering an unfamiliar brand online, half expecting stamped links and tinny bezel clicks. Once I held the solid 316L steel bracelet and felt the weight of the 43mm case, my doubts vanished. The sapphire dive bezel and teak dial finishing are top notch.
I love wearing oversized menswear watches with tailored blazers, and at 43mm this black-dial Timecraft makes a strong statement on my wrist. I swapped it onto a leather strap for work, though the leather was pretty stiff for the first 3-4 days before breaking in.
Put this on my timegrapher right after sizing the bracelet. Amplitude on the Seiko NH35A was healthy at 285 degrees with +3 sec/day dial up. The 43mm case wears comfortably on my wrist thanks to the downward curve of the lugs, and the anti-reflective sapphire crystal over the obsidian teak dial is distortion-free.
I own several Seiko and microbrand divers, and the sapphire bezel insert on this Timecraft 1668 is what caught my eye. The 43mm 316L case has crisp brushing along the lugs, and the horizontal teak-textured black dial gives it a yacht-diver vibe rather than a generic sub clone. My NH35A caliber is settling in at +5 seconds per day on the wrist.
Sized the 316L stainless bracelet for my wrist on day one, then swapped it onto a grey NATO and a black FKM rubber strap for weekend wear. The 43mm black teak dial works with everything. Outer presentation box was fairly basic, though the watch is where the money went.
Thanks for the feedback, Benjamin! The 1668 on black FKM rubber or grey NATO sounds like a killer combo.
