Gave this to my brother for his retirement after thirty years in sales. He wanted an automatic with a blue face that was not flashy, and this 43mm Seiko NH35A piece with the navy leather strap hit the bullseye.

BERSIGAR Timecraft 1668: Silver Blue Edition
The BERSIGAR Timecraft 1668 Silver Blue channels maritime heritage and dive-watch utility with modern executive styling. Featuring a sculpted 43mm stainless steel case, an ultra-durable deep blue sapphire dive bezel, a horizontal deck-patterned oceanic blue dial, and a matching navy blue leather strap with contrast white stitching, this automatic timepiece delivers rugged performance alongside sharp, everyday versatility.
Powered by the Seiko Japanese TMI NH35A automatic caliber, the self-winding mechanical movement features manual winding, hacking seconds, and a dependable power reserve fueled entirely by natural wrist kinetic energy. The deep navy dial showcases horizontal teak-groove striations, accented by bold applied trapezoidal and baton hour indices with strong luminescence, faceted baton hands, a yellow-accented seconds tip, and a framed date window at 3 o'clock. Machined from solid 316L brushed and polished stainless steel, the watch features an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a scratch-resistant sapphire dive bezel insert, an ergonomic folding clasp mechanism, and a threaded screw-down crown providing 10 BAR (100M) water resistance.

Son's 40th Birthday Gift
Bought the blue Timecraft 1668 for my son's 40th birthday. He loves the horizontal teak lines on the oceanic blue dial and the contrast white stitching on the navy leather band. He put it on right at the dinner table.
Swapped Onto FKM Rubber
Wore it on the navy stitched leather strap for the first week, then threw it on a white tropic rubber strap for lake days. The oceanic blue teak dial and sapphire bezel look killer on both straps.
Great On Sailcloth
The factory navy leather strap with white stitching looks sharp for casual Fridays in Philly, and I also picked up a navy FKM rubber strap for summer weekends. The 43mm brushed and polished lugs make strap changes quick on my wrist.
Good NH35A, Snug Clasp
The oceanic blue horizontal teak dial and sapphire dive bezel insert are genuinely well executed for 305 dollars, and the Seiko NH35A inside my piece is running within +6 seconds a day. However, I put a deployant butterfly clasp on the strap and without half-step micro-adjustments the fit gets slightly snug in humid weather, which makes it tough to wear outdoors all afternoon.
