Quick announcement: Windup Watch Fair is coming to Chicago this weekend (July 10-12) — new venue this year to accommodate more brands. Hands-on with hundreds of watches, mostly micros and boutique brands, many available to purchase and wear same day. windupwatchfair.com
Now — Meca-Quartz. The best of both worlds: quartz accuracy with the satisfying click and mechanical module of a real chronograph. And when you can see inside the sub-dials? Even better.
The Duxot Accelero skeleton chronograph is on sale right now through the end of July — MSRP is mid-to-upper $200s, current price is a smoking deal. Check the website for the current price.
Seiko VK63 mecha-quartz chronograph (TMI)
Elapsed seconds (center), elapsed minutes (sub-dial), running seconds, 24hr indicator
Screw-down crown AND screw-down pushers
40mm diameter, 12mm thick, 48mm lug-to-lug
Sapphire crystal
Tachymeter bezel (aluminum)
Solid link, solid end link bracelet, female end links, sized with pins
Polished center links, 3-position micro adjust clasp
Screw-down caseback, 100m water resistance
150g on bracelet
Available in: Black skeleton, white skeleton, blue, two-tone, full black IP — about a dozen models total on the website.
The skeleton versions let you peek inside the sub-dials and see the mechanical module at work — knowing it's quartz-powered but still has that little mechanical heart inside makes it something special.
