    yes a mecca quartz I believe a vk63

    I like it but at the same time feel it's trying to be a 1970's heuer but ant really looked into them so if that was the look they was going for then well they hit it right

    Nothing wrong with that. I like the colors on that, along with the strap.
    Cheers,

    Good looking watch and an interesting movement. I wonder why it never really caught on.

    IMHO, mechaquartz are odd animals. They tell really good time compared to a regular quartz, but it is hard for someone to really tell the diff. And since they cost so much more than a regular quartz, it takes a real connoisseur to really want one. My foray into that world is my Citizen Eco-Drive caliber 2100 chronograph. I bought it simply because the chronograph feature is mechanical with heart cam and hammer return.
