Seiko VK68 — Five-Register Mecaquartz
The VK68 is Seiko’s premium mecaquartz chronograph caliber — the most function-rich in the VK family. Three indicators alongside the chronograph: 24 hours at 2 o’clock, small running seconds at 6 o’clock, 60-minute register at 10 o’clock, and date at 4:30. The VK68 is a mecaquartz — the chronograph seconds hand sweeps continuously via a mechanical gear train controlled by the quartz oscillator, producing the visual character of a mechanical chronograph sweep rather than a ticking quartz hand.
VK68 vs VK63 — two BERNY mecaquartz calibers:
| Feature | VK68 (2835M) | VK63 (2845M) |
|---|---|---|
| Sub-dials | 24H at 2, small sec at 6, 60-min at 10 | 24H, 60-min counter, running seconds |
| Date | At 4:30 | Yes |
| Day display | No | No |
The VK68 adds the small running seconds sub-dial that the VK63 lacks, and positions the date at 4:30 rather than 3.
Slide Rule Bezel — Aviation Calculator
The bi-directional slide rule bezel provides the same calculation functionality as the BERNY 2845M — two logarithmic scales for speed, distance, unit conversion (statute miles / kilometres / nautical miles) and fuel consumption calculations.
The 2835M’s VK68 adds the small running seconds sub-dial compared to the 2845M’s VK63, creating a five-register dial (chrono sweep, 24H, small seconds, 60-min, date) vs the 2845M’s four-register layout.
