The VK63 in a Seiko Mod
Want a chronograph that feels mechanical but runs as accurately as quartz? The VK63 is built for exactly that — a meca-quartz movement that combines the best of both worlds. Here is how it sits in our chrono mods.
What meca-quartz means
Meca-quartz means: the timekeeping runs on a quartz movement (battery-powered, very accurate), while the stopwatch runs on a mechanical chronograph module. Press the pusher and you feel a real, crisp resistance; the stop-seconds hand sweeps smoothly instead of ticking, and on reset it snaps straight back to zero. It is the chrono feel of a mechanical movement without the price.
VK63 or automatic — when to choose what
For a chronograph, the VK63 is the smart choice: precise stop, clean reset, no winding needed. If instead you want the classic automatic look without a stopwatch, the NH35 is right. It is not about better or worse, but about the function you actually want on the watch.
Which MedoMods use the VK63?
Our chrono lines — above all the Tona Mod in racing-chronograph style and the Moon Mod in the classic chrono look. Both rely on the VK63 so the stop mechanism feels the way it should. In the configurator you can build a chrono base to your taste as well.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to wind a VK63?
No. Timekeeping runs on a battery-powered quartz movement, so there is nothing to wind. Only the chrono stop function is mechanical.
Why does the chrono pusher feel so 'mechanical'?
Because the stop function is a real mechanical module. That's where the crisp pusher feel, the sweeping stop-seconds hand and the snap to zero on reset come from — just like a mechanical chronograph.
