A titanium mecha-quartz chronograph with a Seiko movement, sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance.
Best for
Someone who wants a chronograph with a sweeping seconds hand and a light titanium build, without paying for a full mechanical chrono.
Overview
The GoldAce is Boderry’s chronograph, and it splits the difference between quartz reliability and mechanical feel. It uses a Seiko (TMI) VK68 mecha-quartz movement, which gives you a sweeping chronograph hand with battery-powered accuracy. The 40mm case and matching bracelet are titanium — light on the wrist — with a sapphire crystal and 100m (10 ATM) water resistance. At 11.5mm it wears a touch chunkier than the dress pieces, as a chronograph should.

FAQs
What is a mecha-quartz chronograph?
It is a hybrid: the timekeeping is battery-powered quartz, but the chronograph runs through a mechanical module, so the chrono seconds hand sweeps smoothly like a mechanical watch.
Is the case really titanium?
Yes — both the 40mm case and the bracelet are titanium, which makes it noticeably lighter than a steel chronograph.
