Bersigar Ocular 1701 — Rose Gold Champagne Edition
The watch
Built around a champagne gold dial, the Bersigar Ocular 1701 Rose Gold Champagne pairs a 40mm case with a Seiko meca-quartz chronograph movement. It brings a fixed tachymeter scale bezel, 100m water resistance and 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 Chronograph: Rose Gold Champagne Edition
The BERSIGAR Chronograph Rose Gold Edition merges iconic motorsport heritage with high-luxury warmth. Defined by an ergonomic 40mm rose-gold-toned stainless steel case, an engraved black ceramic-style tachymeter bezel, a textured champagne-gold dial with contrasting black sub-registers, and a matching multi-link rose gold bracelet, this timepiece delivers an unmistakable racing pedigree with an opulent executive finish.
Powered by the Seiko Japanese TMI VK-series meca-quartz movement, the caliber pairs quartz timekeeping precision with mechanical chronograph operation, featuring a sweeping central seconds hand, tactile pusher engagement, and an instant flyback reset. The dial showcases three sunken black sub-registers tracking 60-minute elapsed timing, continuous running seconds, and a 24-hour cycle, balanced by applied polished baton indices with strong luminous fill, luminous hands, and a discreet date window at 4:30. Machined from solid 316L stainless steel with a durable rose gold PVD coating, the watch is equipped with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, threaded screw-down pushers, a screw-down crown, and 10 BAR (100M) water resistance.

From the journal
Owners say
I take my vintage Porsche out to Brainerd a few times a summer and love wearing a tri-compax tachymeter chronograph. The Seiko meca-quartz pushers have a crisp snap, and the 40mm case fits my 6.5-inch wrist nicely.
Gave this to my dad for his retirement party up in Maine. He wanted a gold-tone watch with some sporty character, and the rose gold PVD with the champagne and black dial had him grinning all night.
The warm champagne dial with black tri-compax sub-registers gives this 40mm Ocular 1702 a classic 1970s racing chronograph look. Having the Seiko meca-quartz movement inside keeps the case profile wearable on my wrist while delivering a crisp mechanical sweep when the chrono is engaged. The fixed tachymeter bezel and AR sapphire crystal are well finished for the price.
Measured the case at 40mm with even rose gold PVD across the brushed and polished 316L steel. Chronograph pushers engage with a clean mechanical click and reset dead center. Shipping carrier delayed the box by two days, though the watch itself is great.
Sharp champagne dial on my wrist. Clasp could use one extra micro-adjustment hole for hot afternoons.
Thanks for the feedback, Dr. Michael! We appreciate the note on the clasp micro-adjustment and hope you enjoy wearing the 1701.
Bought this rose gold and champagne chronograph for my brother's 40th birthday. He's a big motorsport fan and loved the contrasting black tri-compax sub-registers and tachymeter bezel. He wears it every weekend.
Happy 40th to your brother, Steven! So glad the champagne and black tri-compax dial was a hit with him.
Wasn't sure what a $255 rose gold chronograph would feel like in person, but the rose gold PVD finish and champagne panda dial look great on my wrist. The outer presentation box was fairly basic, though the watch is where the money went.
