No contrast, no colour, nothing to read except the shape of the thing. It is the most understated way to wear a chronograph whose original sits behind jeweller's glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlacked-out watches work because they refuse to explain themselves. On the wrist this one reads as a dark disc under a cuff, and then the light catches an edge and the whole layout appears at once. Wear it to dinner. Wear it to the gym. It does not change its mind about what it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo systems, one watch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe engine is the Seiko VK63 meca-quartz chronograph, which is really two things working together. Quartz keeps the time, so it is accurate to the point of being boring and runs for years on one battery. A mechanical chronograph module runs the stopwatch, giving you the crisp sweep on start and the instant snap-back to zero on reset that you can feel through the pusher. A date display sits in the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA sapphire crystal covers the front, which matters more on a black dial than anywhere else: scratches show on black, and sapphire is how you avoid them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMovement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeiko VK63 meca-quartz chronograph, date display, battery powered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBezel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStrap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack rubber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrystal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSapphire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 ATM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat this price actually buys\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch this design echoes sells for more than a hundred times this price, and a routine service on it costs more than this entire watch.
