The watch’s functionality is underscored by its 38mm stainless steel case and a bold black aluminum bezel with clear numerals. However, it’s the unexpected depth and light-catching ability of the rose-colored dial that truly steals the show.
Beyond its captivating aesthetics, the Chronoking Mecaquartz ‘Salmon Dial’ boasts a unique technical heart. The timepiece utilizes a mecaquartz movement, a modern marvel that blends the precision of a quartz movement with the satisfying feel of a mechanical chronograph. This innovative technology ensures exceptional timekeeping accuracy while eliminating the need for winding for up to three years.
