Powered by the sun Slim Solar Collection The BERING Slim Solar collection beats to the rhythm of nature! Because its energy source is sustainable and infinitely available: light! Not only sunlight but any kind of light is converted into electrical energy by the solar cell under the face and stored in a rechargeable secondary battery. No battery change is required as in quartz watches. The watch has a power reserve, so that - once fully charged – it runs for 6 to 12 months. Even if it is stored in complete darkness during this time.

Next page Sapphire crystal: scratch-resistant through time Sapphire crystal - the hardest glass Our sapphire crystal is the third hardest transparent material after moissanite and diamonds. A particularly crystal-clear, hard and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal ensures an unrestricted view of your BERING dial. All BERING watches are equipped with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Mineral glass - the standard glass Mineral glass is also a crystal glass, but with a structure similar to that of a rock crystal. It is a common material in the watch sector, but it is less resistant and more susceptible to scratching. BERING only uses sapphire glass in its timepieces and no mineral glass. How long does the watch run on one battery charge? When stored in complete darkness, the watch typically runs for 6 months on a full charge until the next charge is necessary. This battery life increases when the watch is exposed to light in between. How is the watch charged? The watch has to be in the sun for about 24 hours to be fully charged. If you charge the watch with sunlight, don’t leave it on the dashboard of a car because the temperature can get extremely high. How do you know when the watch needs to be charged? If the battery is only charged weakly, the watch indicates this by moving the second hand in "two-second steps". The clock will run for another 3 days with this "two-second cycle". Then recharge the watch. Does the watch need a battery change? In contrast to batteries in a conventional quartz watch, the battery does not have to be replaced regularly.
