BERSIGAR Ocular 1782: Black Dial Brown Leather Edition
The BERSIGAR Ocular 1782 Black Dial Brown Leather Edition is a precision chronograph engineered with a solid 316L stainless steel case, an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, and a perforated rally-style leather strap. Featuring a fixed polished steel bezel, a matte black dial with contrasting silver sub-registers, and integrated low-profile pushers, this timepiece provides accurate timing functionality with high-durability construction.
Powered by the Seiko Japanese TMI VK63 meca-quartz movement, the watch delivers quartz timekeeping precision paired with a mechanical chronograph mechanism that offers tactile pusher operation, a sweeping central chronograph seconds hand, and an instant flyback reset. The dial layout includes twin silver sub-dials with orange accent hands tracking elapsed minutes and a 24-hour display, a running seconds hand at 6 o'clock, an internal tachymeter scale, and applied luminous indices. Built with a threaded screw-down crown and a sealed steel caseback, the watch delivers water resistance up to 10 BAR (100 meters).

From the journal
Owners say
The stock brown leather strap is decent, but putting this 39mm reverse-panda dial onto a perforated black racing strap transformed the whole look. 20mm lugs make strap swaps super easy.
A perforated rally strap on the 1782 sounds like a classic combo, Ben! Thanks for sharing.
We chipped in to get this for a fellow architect retiring after thirty years at the firm. He loves classic 39mm proportions and the contrast of the silver sub-registers on the black dial.
Sits flat on my wrist. Silver sub-registers and brown leather look sharp.
Thank you, Matthew! Glad the 39mm proportions fit so well.
I usually wear Swiss automatics to the clinic, so I was skeptical about a $210 meca-quartz. Between the sapphire crystal, solid 316L steel case, and clean 39mm reverse-panda dial, the build quality genuinely surprised me.
Wasn't sure what to expect at $210, especially ordering online without trying it on first. The 316L steel case finishing, anti-reflective sapphire glass, and crisp silver sub-registers look far more expensive on my wrist.
Most 39mm leather chronographs can barely handle washing your hands, so having 100m water resistance and a tough sapphire crystal is awesome for weekend cabin trips. High contrast silver sub-registers make it very legible outdoors.
Ordered three of these for my groomsmen. The 39mm case size fit all of them regardless of wrist size, and the brown leather with the panda-style silver sub-registers looked classic in the wedding photos.
Picked up the 39mm Black Dial Brown Leather model for my brother's wedding day gift. The silver sub-registers against the black dial look sharp with a suit, and he hasn't stopped wearing it.
