Stepping up in Bering's range
At 20mm wide and just 6mm deep, this is a watch built for the wrist it is designed to wear on — small-boned, uncluttered, and finished in polished gold that reads warm rather than brash. The oval case gives it a quietly old-fashioned silhouette that the green calfskin strap then pulls back toward the present. The silver sunray dial shifts as the light moves across it, and the Roman numerals at twelve and six do just enough to keep it from reading as purely abstract. Gold hands and slender hour markers stay within the same tonal family as the case, so nothing competes; the only sharp contrast comes from the printed Bering signature in black.

Learn more about Bering
Bering was founded in Denmark in 2004 and named for Vitus Bering, the Danish navigator who charted the strait between Siberia and Alaska. The Arctic reference is the brand's whole design argument: clarity, cold light, nothing surplus.
That translates into a consistent look — very slim cases, milanese mesh bracelets, flat dials with minimal markers, and a strong preference for ceramic and titanium over steel.
The technical claim is the glass. Bering fits sapphire across much of the range, and has built its marketing around scratch resistance at price points where mineral glass is the norm.
The company also produces solar-powered models and a substantial range of ceramic watches, and sells widely through European jewellers.
These are design-led quartz watches rather than horological objects, and they are honest about that. What they offer is a Scandinavian aesthetic executed consistently, at a price that does not require thinking twice.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
What size strap does it take?
8mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
