Bering 12927-989 Pink Milanese Mesh Bracelet Watch - W74227
Ref. 12927-989
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.Bering's Classic Collection is built around the Nordic principle that restraint is its own kind of decoration, and this 27mm oval case is a good example of that applied to colour. The pink dial and matching Milanese mesh bracelet read as a considered pair rather than an afterthought, and the Swarovski crystal hour markers give the dial just enough sparkle to catch light without disturbing the clean face around them. At 27mm the case sits neatly on a slender wrist, and the mesh bracelet drapes rather than sits stiffly, which makes it comfortable for all-day wear in a way that a link bracelet at this scale often is not.

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.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
