Danish-born BERING reinforces its polar-inspired roots as it unveils its new Arctic Circle collection. BERING stemmed from founder Michael Witt Johansen’s admiration for the radiance and purity of the Arctic, which the brand fuses with Danish-style watch design. This influence is clear through the clean and elegant forms of the new automatic Arctic Circle models. Available in four different colours, there is also plenty of variety to choose from in the collection. Read on to learn more about the Arctic’s influence on these stunning new watches
Dial and Case
Perhaps the most noticeable feature of the watches is their bold dial colours. For those who love some bright colour in their wristwear, you are in for a treat. Inspired by the colourful facades of Greenlandic architecture, there is a choice of a yellow model (19441-701), a blue model (19441-707) and a green model (19441-708). These colours are intertwined closely with Greenland’s cultural history, as traditionally, buildings were colour-coded. For instance, yellow indicated healthcare establishments, whilst blue was reserved for fish factories, and green was for telecommunication buildings. However, for those looking for a more classic look, there is also an elegant grey option (19441-777).
Another standout feature of the models is the subsidiary seconds subdial. Positioned at 5 o’clock, the subdial is perfectly round just like the Arctic Circle. Moreover, a different contrasting colour accents the subdial on each colourway. For example, the yellow model (19441-701) has a black-tipped subdial hand, whilst the blue (19441-707) features a yellow-tipped hand. Additionally, the green colourway (19441-708) features a red tip on its subdial hand, meanwhile, the grey model (19441-777) exhibits an orange tip. Finally, completing each dial design are silver baton indices and matching central hands. For optimal legibility even in the dark, these hands and indices are luminescent.
Framing the dial is a stainless steel case. To emphasise the impression created by the colours, it measures 41mm in diameter and 12mm in thickness. It’s built to withstand everyday pressures and locks in an impressive 100 metres of water resistance. Aiding this durability is the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal which encases the dials across the collection.
Movement and Finishing Touches
Powering each of the watches in the Arctic Circle collection is a Seiko automatic mechanical movement. Moreover, not only does it ensure reliable timekeeping, but it is also viewable through the exhibition case back on the watch.
Balancing out its unmissable dial, the rest of the Arctic Circle’s silhouette follows a very classic design. Completing each model is a stainless steel bracelet, which secures the watch to the wrist with a fold-over clasp.
