About this watch

A purposeful sports chronograph combining precise timing functionality with the substantial feel of stainless steel.

The Steel Chronograph features a multi-register dial, tachymeter bezel and contrasting details that give it a distinctly technical character. Its VK63 meca-quartz movement combines dependable quartz timekeeping with a smooth central chronograph hand and a crisp reset.

The configuration shown is supplied as a complete, assembled-to-order watch. For an alternative dial, hands, bracelet, strap, logo or personalized engraving, contact our studio before ordering.

Custom artwork, logo and engraving are confirmed with our studio before production.

BUILT AROUND TIME, MOTION AND MECHANICAL DETAIL.

THE CHRONOGRAPH

The chronograph was created to do more than display the time. By adding independent timing functions, it introduced a more technical and instrument-like character to the wristwatch.

Steel Chronograph follows this tradition with a multi-register dial, prominent pushers, a robust stainless-steel case and a layout designed around visual balance and mechanical detail.

Its character is distinctly sporty, but the polished and brushed surfaces allow it to move naturally between casual wear, travel and more refined everyday settings.

Rather than being a fixed design, Steel Chronograph can be personalized through the dial, hands, sub-dials, bezel, bracelet or strap, logo, artwork and engraving.

The result is a mechanical-looking sports-watch platform with strong visual presence and extensive room for customization.

BUYING QUESTIONS

BEFORE YOU BUILD YOUR WATCH.

Answers to the most common questions about customization, production and ordering.

01 Can I add my own logo?
Yes. Your own logo can be added to the dial or other available surfaces depending on the design and production method.
02 What parts of the watch can be customized?
Depending on the configuration, you can customize the dial, hands, bezel, bracelet or strap, logo, artwork, caseback engraving, crown engraving and selected movement options.
03 Can I order just one watch?
Yes. Most WatchModLab custom projects are available from one piece unless a specific production method requires a higher minimum quantity.
04 How long does production take?
Most custom watches require approximately 1–2 weeks for production after the design and specifications are confirmed.
05 Will I see the finished watch before shipping?
Yes. Final photos or videos can be provided for confirmation before shipment.
06 Which movement should I choose?
Choose based on the functions you need. For example, the NH35 is suited to a classic automatic date watch, while the NH34 adds GMT functionality for a second time zone.
07 Is the watch water resistant?
Water resistance depends on the selected case and configuration. Each completed watch is checked according to the applicable specification before shipment.
08 What movement does it use?
Steel Chronograph is available with the VK63 meca-quartz chronograph movement.

The VK63 combines quartz timekeeping with a mechanically actuated chronograph module, offering practical accuracy, crisp pusher operation and a chronograph display with a more mechanical feel than a conventional quartz chronograph.
09 How does the chronograph work?
The chronograph is operated using the pushers on the side of the case.

The upper pusher is used to start and stop the chronograph.

The lower pusher resets the chronograph hands after timing has been stopped.

Always stop the chronograph before using the reset function.
10 What do the sub-dials display?
The exact sub-dial functions depend on the selected dial layout and movement configuration.

On VK63 configurations, the sub-dials are used for chronograph timing, small seconds and 24-hour indication.

The final layout will be confirmed according to the selected dial and movement.
11 Why is the central chronograph seconds hand not always moving?
On VK63 configurations, the central seconds hand is used for the chronograph function and does not normally run continuously.

The regular running seconds are displayed on the small-seconds sub-dial.

The central chronograph seconds hand begins moving when the chronograph is started.
