Add a ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, 316L stainless steel case, and 100M \/ 10 ATM water resistance, and the Racing Chrono Two Tone delivers a specification that requires spending considerably more to improve on meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wcl-lux-tags\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"wcl-lux-tag\"\u003ePGD Chrono Two Tone 40mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wcl-lux-tag\"\u003eSeiko VK67 meca-quartz chronograph\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wcl-lux-tag\"\u003eCeramic bezel chronograph sapphire\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wcl-lux-tag\"\u003eTwo tone chronograph watch 100M\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wcl-lux-tag\"\u003ePGD PD1644 chronograph\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"wcl-lux-section\"\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"wcl-lux-heading\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wcl-lux-lead\"\u003ePGD PD1644.

The Seiko VK67 in the Racing Chrono Two Tone works differently: the quartz oscillator keeps the time accurately, but the chronograph function uses a mechanical train to transmit the motion - the result is a smoothly sweeping chronograph hand that moves continuously, like a mechanical watch. This sounds like a cosmetic detail. It is not: it changes how the watch reads in motion, how the timing function feels in operation, and how the watch reads to someone who knows what they are looking at. The VK67 is a specification chosen by watch enthusiasts who understand the difference. Combined with the ceramic bezel, sapphire with AR, and 100M water resistance, the Racing Chrono Two Tone builds a specification list that is difficult to match at anywhere near its price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eRacing Chrono Two Tone\u003c\/strong\u003e (PGD PD1644) is available in White, Black, Brown, and Gold dials.

In a standard quartz chronograph the electronic module steps the chronograph hand at intervals - typically once per fifth of a second or per second - creating a ticking motion. In the Seiko VK67 meca-quartz the chronograph hand is driven mechanically, so it sweeps continuously and smoothly the way a mechanical chronograph does. The result is a chronograph that looks and feels like a mechanical timepiece in operation but maintains quartz accuracy and low maintenance requirements. The VK67 is well-regarded among watch enthusiasts specifically for this hybrid character.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wcl-lux-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is a ceramic bezel and why does it matter?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eCeramic is an extremely hard material - harder than stainless steel and virtually impossible to scratch under normal daily use conditions. On a watch bezel, this means the surface retains its colour, finish, and markings over years of wear in a way that aluminium insert bezels (which scratch and chip over time) or steel bezels (which show micro-abrasions) cannot. High-end dive and sport watches use ceramic bezels precisely because they hold their appearance over the life of the watch. The ceramic bezel on the Racing Chrono Two Tone is a specification point that distinguishes it from most watches in its price category.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wcl-lux-faq-item\"\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is anti-reflective coating on the crystal?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAnti-reflective (AR) coating is applied to the underside of the sapphire crystal to reduce light reflections on the inner glass surface. Without AR coating, bright overhead light or strong directional light creates reflections inside the crystal that can obscure the dial. With AR coating, the same light passes through with reduced reflection, keeping the dial clearly legible in bright outdoor conditions and at off-angles.

Do not operate the crown or pushers underwater; do not use it for diving with compressed air (scuba). For surface swimming, lap swimming, snorkelling, and water sports the 100M rating is sufficient.

It is the standard material used in quality watch case construction for its resistance to seawater, sweat, and chemical exposure.
