MECAQUARTZ MOVEMENT VK64: JAPANESE TECHNOLOGY & QUALITY
Seiko VK64 mecaquartz movement with quartz regulation & mechanical action:
• Sweep center 1/5 chrono second hand
• Seiko Patented Instant Zero Reset - with a click all chronograph hands are reset to zero at once thanks to three-pointed hammer mechanism.
• 60 secondes & 60 minutes time recording
• 24 hours display
A CHRONOGRAPH WITH MECHANICAL ACTION...
The Seiko VK64 movement is a mecaquartz movement meaning the chronograph part is actioned by a mechanism coming from mechanical chronographs while the regulation and timing parts are motorized by a quartz oscillator.
...AND QUARTZ ACCURACY
The result is the best of both the mechanical watches world and the quartz watches world: mechanical watch technology, look and feel combined with the perfect accuracy and timekeeping of quartz (±20s per month).

SOLID MOVEMENT HOLDER: THE PERFECT HOUSE FOR THE SEIKO VK64 MOVEMENT
Nowadays, quartz watches and even some mechanical watches are using plastic movement holders. At Wolbrook, we found the metal ones more noble and durable.
While our mechanical watches have always used metal holders, the Skindiver WT Chrono-Mecaquartz along with the Skindiver WT Mecaquartz and Skindiver WT Pro Chrono-Mecaquartz are now also featuring solid metal movement holders.
HESALITE GLASS: THE PRO’S CHOICE
From the 1960s and earlier, armed forces around the world along with NASA issued wrist-watches secured with Hesalite glasses to service men, pilots and astronauts. Why? Hesalite offers high transparency, strong impact resistance and do not shatter like glass or sapphire would.
To this day, on the field, in a cockpit, or even in space, the possibility of having tiny bits of glass floating around or having the face of the watch exposed to the elements is considered an unnecessary risk and a direct threat to mission success.
