Bering 16535-777 Grey IP Bracelet Watch - W74279
Ref. 16535-777
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 £259 across 37 Bering watches in stock.At 7mm thick, the 16535-777 sits closer to a dress watch than most pieces in grey PVD, slim enough to disappear under a cuff without a ridge. The grey sunray dial shifts between near-flat and quietly luminous depending on the angle of the light — a small but persistent reward for a colourway that could easily have read flat throughout. The bracelet and case share both finish and tone, so the watch reads as a single object on the wrist rather than components assembled together.

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?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as unisex, and at this size it suits any wrist that takes the dimensions.
