Quartz watch with sweeping second hand

Many microbrands use a Seiko VH31 mechaquartz movement with a smooth running seconds hand.

The Dan Henry “1975” Diver is 39mm and has the smooth sweep you’re looking for with the VH31 movement mentioned above.

Thank you guys! I will look some watches up with that movement hopefully i can find something like my roamer mechaline pro

Do you know any other movements like this or pages i could look watches like that maybe with date(1-31) showing?

There are lots of brands using seiko vh31(and there are others), I've got an 'about vintage' with that movement in, maybe not your style though. And those watches with that movement in are generally cheaper than mechanicals.

Yea the only watch i found so far with that movement is the Pagani Design PD-1731 it has the looks it is 40mm ish but i would like a black dial found none so far, and i would like a date on the watch to know if it is 1st or 31st any suggestion or pages where i could find watches like this?

I've seen them,but cannot remember them, so I'm afraid your going to have to do some digging.(not a bad task really, I'm sure you'll find something you love) good luck.

Grand Seiko spring drive have sweeping hands. Grand Seiko spring drive are smoother than bulova precisionist.

Here is a comparison of ticks per seconds up to bulova precisionist.

You can try and give a look at the Concordia from Charlie Paris which also use the VH31.

You mentioned the Precisionist. That’s what I’m wearing today.

that’s funny. i’m literally in the opposite camp. i love what’s called a “dead beat seconds hand” complication. which is a mechanical movement that has a ticking seconds hand rather than a sweeping seconds hand. i think it’s been said that this type of complication can be useful for accurate measurement at each second. but i think the reality is this is more of a watchmaker flex. 😂😂

there’s a few vintage watches like this, including a Rolex dead beat, and a JLC dead beat. i like it just because it’s a rather obscure complication and rather unique.

Everybody has different taste 😄 but i can understand why u like them when they spot on to the last mm they are satisfying 🙂

Guys any suggestion wtih the specs? i got some and thank you guys the closest to my liking are Pagani Design PD 1731 but i don't want that tiffany blue trend i would like a black one 1734 is black but ugly af imo. Or any other mechaquartz movement that i can search for? Maybe even a date shower (1-31).

Thanks for all of your answers so far!

Hey, I suggest you check out these guys, https://www.nezumistudios.com/nezumi-watches/corbeau/, most of their watches (if not all) use the seiko mechaquartz movement!

Could you provide some examples please?

Lucky for you, my Google is working.

I dunno about sweeping second glands but I like the look of the Scurfa diver’s , practical & rugged and titanium and quartz ! And not pricey!

I have this one also. Makes a great dress watch. Looks much more expensive than the $200 (or less, sometimes) you'll pay.

Haha, good luck trying to find a Grand Seiko Spring Drive for less than 3k, much less at 1k.

I love my 1975, especially on a rubber strap.

Thanks friend!

you could look at watches with the seiko Vh31 movement. That's a quartz with a 2 hz frequency and it's really affordable. maybe look at escapement time on aliexpress. I have one and just for the movement I love it

This watch looks like what i would need i found it with black dial too do you know any straps that would work with it? ss strap or braclet idk what they are exactly

I put mine on a brown leather strap

Can you reccomend me a site or details where can i find ss strap/bracelet for a black dial one?
