Bersigar Richardo 1738 — Silver Sky Blue Edition
The watch
The Bersigar Richardo 1738 Silver Sky Blue is a 42mm chronograph with an openworked skeleton black dial, powered by a Seiko VH65 quartz movement. Expect 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.
The BERSIGAR Richardo 1738 Silver Sky Blue combines high-octane motorsport aesthetics with a vivid, modern color accent. Featuring an arched tonneau case, visible architectural bezel screws, an openworked skeleton dial, and an integrated sky-blue rubber strap, this 42mm timepiece delivers commanding wrist presence and ergonomic sports performance.
Powered by the Seiko Japanese VH65 quartz caliber, the movement delivers quartz precision with the smooth sweep of a mechanical central seconds hand. The multi-layered dial showcases exposed bridge framing, synthetic jewel accents, and luminous hands. Machined from solid 316L stainless steel, the watch features an ultra-hard sapphire crystal, an ergonomic textured sky-blue PVC strap, and an oversized high-grip crown with blue and orange accents.

From the journal
Owners say
I own several mechanical chronographs and skeleton pieces, and this Richardo 1738 Silver Sky Blue is a fun summer watch on a larger wrist. Using the Seiko VH65 quartz caliber gives you a smooth sweeping hand without the thickness or servicing cost of a mechanical tonneau movement. The brushed 316L steel bezel with exposed screws and the anti-reflective sapphire crystal are cleanly finished.
Wasn't sure what to expect at $280, and I have to admit the 316L steel tonneau case and sapphire crystal are well built for my wrist. Giving three stars mainly because the lume on the skeleton hands only lasts a couple hours.
Appreciate the honest feedback, Jesse! Skeleton hands have limited surface area for luminous compound, so we're glad the 316L steel case and sapphire crystal hit the mark.
The sky blue rubber strap is molded to match the 42mm tonneau case curve, so it wraps around my wrist without pinching. Easy to adjust and changes up my whole watch rotation.
The sky blue rubber strap and brushed silver tonneau case look right at home with a collared shirt here in Honolulu. Comfortable on my wrist all day at the office.
I love the structural look of the openworked dial and curved 42mm tonneau bezel. Wears great with a linen shirt or blazer on my wrist.
Coming from an architect, we love hearing that the structural dial design resonated with you, Lawrence!
