Bergen “New Vintage” chronograph design

Bergen - New Vintage Chronograph Design

February 14, 2021

I am starting to see some positive momentum on the watch design front. Each time I re-approach this octagonal case shape, I happier with the refinements. The latest design in this series is a unique take on a vintage bicompax-style chronograph. This design is meant to house a Seagull ST19 chronograph movement, a clone of the Venus 175.

Seagull ST19, Venus 175, Vintage Breitling faceplates

Through the development process, I compared a good cross-section of the current-day chronographs that use Seagull ST19 and vintage watches that made use of the Venus 175. Whether it was new Hong Kong Ed or a vintage Breitling Toptime, none of these chronographs was using a case shape this unique.

Bergen “New Vintage” Chronograph is designed to use Seagull’s ST19 movement.

The movement fits nicely inside the case design. I will concede that the irregular case shape may impact the functionality of the minute track as it stands but I will take some time away from this design, hoping I will revisit with fresher eyes.

Below are some of the latest iterations of the New Vintage Sports (formerly the Octo) watch design, more specifically the 100th iteration.
