Meca-Quartz Chronograph - VK63

A hybrid movement that combines the precision of quartz with the feel of a mechanical chronograph. The VK63 features a sweeping chronograph seconds hand, instant snap-back reset, 24-hour subdial, 60-minute chronograph, and date display, making it one of the most popular movements for racing-inspired and sports chronographs.

The TMI VK63 is a premium Meca-Quartz chronograph movement developed by TMI (Time Module Inc., part of the Seiko Group). Unlike conventional quartz chronographs, the VK63 incorporates a mechanical chronograph module, providing crisp pusher feedback, a smooth sweeping chronograph seconds hand, and an instant fly-back reset while maintaining the precision and convenience of quartz technology.
