What movement powers the Bersigar Timecraft 1668 Silver Black?
It runs on a Seiko NH35A automatic movement. It winds itself from the motion of your wrist, so there is no battery to replace.

Will the Bersigar Timecraft 1668 Silver Black fit my wrist?

What does the dial of the Bersigar Timecraft 1668 Silver Black look like?

Yes. It ships brand-new and boxed from the brand's verified channel. Unworn watches can be returned within 30 days of delivery.
Wore this on a four-day trip out of Seattle and used the rotating sapphire bezel to track layover times. Legibility on the black teak dial is spot on in dim cabin light. My only minor gripe is that the leather strap was pretty stiff for the first 3-4 days before breaking in.

good retirement gift
Purchased this for my older brother's retirement dinner. He has a larger wrist so the 43mm case looks proportional on him, and he really liked the teak-textured black dial. The leather strap was pretty stiff for the first 3-4 days before breaking in.

Aloha J., and congratulations to your brother on his retirement! That thick genuine leather strap does take a few wears to mold to the wrist, and it should stay comfortable for years.

Solid Field Timer
Even though it is classed as a diver, the black dial and white-stitched leather strap give it an old-school military instrument look. I use the sapphire bezel to time intervals at the track and, and the NH35A automatic keeps steady time.

Reliable NH35A and sapphire glass
Measured the 43mm 316L steel case and checked the bezel alignment when it arrived. Zero play in the crown stem, crisp 120-click unidirectional bezel action, and the anti-reflective sapphire keeps the teak black dial clear under pharmacy lights.

Husband Loves It
Got this for my husband's 45th birthday. He is super picky about automatic watches and usually only wears dive pieces, so the Seiko NH35A movement and black leather strap with white contrast stitching won him over immediately. He wears it to work every day.

43mm Timecraft 1668 NH35A Automatic
Took this up to Lake Michigan for a camping trip and swapped a rubber strap on for swimming before putting the black stitched leather back on for town. The 100m water resistance, screw-down crown feel, and bright lume on the obsidian teak dial make it a reliable outdoor companion.

Clean Cockpit Legibility
I use the rotating dive bezel to track fuel tanks and flight legs out of Annapolis, and the high-contrast hands over the horizontal teak black dial are easy to read at a glance. The buckle and strap sizing could use an extra micro-adjustment hole for hot afternoons, but it is a solid flyer's watch.

Thanks for flying with the Timecraft 1668, Julian! Using the dive bezel for flight leg timing is a classic pilot move.

Great Sapphire Bezel
For just over 300 dollars, getting a sapphire crystal paired with a unidirectional rotating sapphire dive bezel and a workhorse Seiko NH35A automatic is rare. On my wrist the 43mm case has presence, but the black leather strap with white stitching helps it contour nicely. Bezel clicks are positive with minimal backplay, and the NH35A is averaging +4 seconds a day.
