40mm Quartz Chronograph Watch – Seiko VK64 Movement, Sapphire Crystal & 100M Water Resistance

A refined chronograph combining Japanese quartz precision with classic motorsport-inspired styling.

Powered by the renowned TMI / Seiko Instruments VK64 meca-quartz movement, this 40 mm chronograph features a stainless steel case and bracelet, sapphire crystal, functional chronograph, tachymeter scale, luminous details and 10 BAR / 100 m (328 ft) water resistance.

Its balanced proportions and clean two-register dial make it equally suited to business attire, casual outfits and sport-inspired looks.

🇯🇵 TMI / Seiko VK64 Meca-Quartz Movement

At the heart of the watch is the Japanese VK64 movement, combining quartz accuracy with the distinctive mechanical-style action of a chronograph.

Unlike a standard three-hand quartz watch, the VK64 is specifically designed for chronograph applications and delivers crisp stopwatch operation.

The dial includes:

• Central hours and minutes
• Chronograph function
• 60-minute chronograph counter
• 24-hour subdial
• Date display at 6 o'clock

The manufacturer states an approximate 3-year battery life.

⏱️ Functional Chronograph

The pushers positioned beside the crown control the stopwatch function, giving the watch both its sporty appearance and practical timing capability.

Two contrasting subdials keep the layout balanced without overcrowding the dial.

Combined with the external tachymeter scale, the chronograph gives this model its distinctive racing-inspired character.

🏁 Tachymeter Scale

A detailed tachymeter scale surrounds the dial, reinforcing the classic motorsport aesthetic.

Used together with the chronograph, a tachymeter can be used to calculate average speed over a known distance.

Even when not being used for timing, it adds depth and technical character to the dial.

💎 Sapphire Crystal

The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, a premium watch material valued for its excellent scratch resistance.

This is an important upgrade over standard mineral glass and helps preserve the clarity and appearance of the dial during everyday wear.

🛡️ Stainless Steel Construction

The watch features a stainless steel case and solid stainless steel bracelet, creating a substantial and refined feel on the wrist.

Alternating brushed and polished surfaces give the bracelet additional visual depth while maintaining the understated character expected from a versatile chronograph.

💡 Luminous Hands & Hour Markers

The hands and hour markers feature luminous coating that absorbs light and glows in darker environments.

This improves readability in low-light conditions while adding another functional element to the sporty design.

🌊 100M / 10 BAR Water Resistance

With a manufacturer-rated water resistance of:

10 BAR / 100 m / 328 ft

the watch offers substantially more water protection than a typical business or dress chronograph.

It is designed for everyday water exposure and recreational swimming, provided the crown and case are properly secured.

Do not operate the chronograph pushers while the watch is submerged unless specifically confirmed by the manufacturer.

📅 Integrated Date Display

A discreet date window at 6 o'clock integrates naturally between the lower hour markers.

Its placement preserves the symmetry of the two-register chronograph layout while providing a useful everyday calendar function.

⌚ 40mm Versatile Case

With a 40 mm (1.57 in) case diameter, the watch offers a versatile contemporary size without becoming excessively large.

The approximately 50 mm (1.97 in) lug-to-lug length gives it a strong wrist presence, while the 20 mm (0.79 in) bracelet width maintains balanced proportions.

🎨 Two Distinctive Dial Styles

The model is shown in two attractive configurations:

• Black Dial – black dial with warm gold-tone hour markers for a sophisticated sport-luxury appearance
• White Dial – crisp white dial with blue accents for a brighter, more distinctive look

👉 For your main product image, I recommend the Black Dial. It gives the watch a more premium appearance and better communicates the business/motorsport positioning.
