Sharp Blue Dial
Wore this out to dinner on Saturday and a buddy asked what brand it was. The royal blue sunburst dial catches the light way better in person than in the product photos.
The watch
Built around a sunburst royal blue dial, the Bersigar Ocular 1766 Blue Dial Steel Bracelet pairs a 40mm case with a Seiko VK64 meca-quartz chronograph movement. Expect a fixed brushed stainless steel tachymeter bezel, 100m water resistance and a sapphire crystal. It belongs to Hour V, Chronograph, in our Expedition season: a natural choice for motorsport fans and aviation enthusiasts.
BERSIGAR Ocular 1766: Blue Dial Steel Bracelet Edition
The BERSIGAR Ocular 1766 Blue Dial Steel Edition fuses mid-century motorsport racing heritage with an ultra-slender, ergonomic tool-watch architecture. Defined by a balanced 40mm stainless steel case engineered with an 11mm slim profile, a fixed circular-brushed steel tachymeter bezel, a sunburst royal blue dial with bi-compax registers, bold broad-arrow hands, and a solid three-link stainless steel bracelet, this meca-quartz chronograph delivers commanding track presence with refined daily durability.
Powered by the Seiko Japanese TMI VK64 meca-quartz movement, the hybrid caliber unites the timing precision of quartz with a mechanical chronograph mechanism that offers crisp tactile pusher engagement and an instantaneous zero-reset flyback hand. The sunburst blue dial features applied polished indices with strong luminous fill, a distinctive triangular 12 o'clock marker, faceted broad-arrow hands, and two sunken 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, classic pump pushers, a threaded screw-down crown, and 10 BAR (100M) water resistance.

Owners say
Wore this out to dinner on Saturday and a buddy asked what brand it was. The royal blue sunburst dial catches the light way better in person than in the product photos.
Love the classic motorsport layout with the dual sub-registers and fixed steel tachymeter bezel. The VK64 chronograph hand sweeps smoothly when timing laps, and 40mm is ideal for my wrist. You can hear a slight internal whir in a dead-quiet room, which is normal.
At 40mm on the steel bracelet, this slides right under a buttoned dress shirt cuff without snagging. The sunburst royal blue dial works well with navy and charcoal suits in the office.
The royal blue dial looks nice in office lighting and the 40mm case is comfortable on my wrist. Put it on a spare leather strap right away and that strap was pretty stiff for 3-4 days.
Thanks for the feedback, Troy! Glad the 40mm case and blue dial are working well for daily wear.
Sunburst blue dial looks sharp sun. Fits my wrist well.
The 40mm brushed 316L case has sharp edges and the fixed tachymeter bezel numerals are cleanly etched. The VK64 chronograph pushers have no slop, and the solid steel bracelet balances well on my wrist.
