Bering 12927-307-GWP Blue Mesh Watch And Bracelet Gift Set - W74148
Ref. 12927-307-GWP
Sits in Bering’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Bering watches we list, which start at £75.
Price range £75 to £199 across 29 Bering watches in stock.The Classic Collection is Bering's argument that a watch can do very little and still do it well — no complications, no visual noise, just an oval case kept to 5mm across its height, which is genuinely thin for a dress watch at this scale. The mother-of-pearl dial shifts between grey and deep blue depending on how the light catches it, and Swarovski crystals stand in for hour markers in a way that feels considered rather than decorative. The blue Milanese mesh bracelet is matched closely enough to the dial that the two read as a single object on the wrist, and the gift set adds a coordinating mesh bracelet — same colour, same weave — that can be worn separately. At 27mm the watch sits within the oval footprint without crowding it, and at 5mm it disappears under a cuff with ease.

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?
13mm. 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.
