About the VK63A

A “mecaquartz” chronograph from Seiko Instruments that pairs quartz timekeeping with a mechanical chronograph module. The module gives crisp pushers, a 1/5-second centre sweep and an instant snap-back reset, and quartz regulation keeps daily wear simple. The VK63 adds a 24-hour indicator at 3 o’clock.

  • Mechanical chronograph module, instant reset
  • 24-hour indicator at 3 o’clock
  • Quartz regulation, 3-year battery
