Competitive Landscape
The
Longines Conquest V.H.P (ref. L3.726.4.96.6) has a recommended retail price of SGD 1,510. Rather good value and competitively priced in the (still) niche segment of high accuracy quartz (HAQ) watches. Its exceptional accuracy of ± 5s per year ranks among the best in industry. If one were to compare based solely on an accuracy/features/price scale – if there is one – the watch faces very little competition.
We discount radio/satellite controlled watches as they require an external transmitter. Here is a non-exhaustive list of HAQ watches (< ±10 seconds per year).
We kick things off with the Citizen Chronomaster AQ 4020 which was reviewed here. It is perhaps the best expression of traditional Japanese art in watches. For starters, the dial is made from artisanal washi paper. The robust titanium case, bracelet and hands dons a sharp and bright Zaratsu finish. To top it off, it is a light-powered movement that is accurate to the exceptional ±5 seconds per year. In addition, the watch is packed with features such as a full perpetual calendar complication (date, month and leap year). That goes without mention its haute horologie finishing in and out. A jaw-dropping piece that managed to captivate the entire entire staff in the Deployant office, including the author himself. The Citizen is priced at ¥ 330,000 excl Japanese VAT.
Next up, we propose the Grand Seiko SBGX069/SBGX269. It features sharp all-round Zaratsu polish and a handsome black patterned dial. But the true star lies within. More mechanical-like than quartz, the 9F movement is hand-assembled, hand-finished and hand-decorated. It is designed to be serviced rather than thrown away. Seiko recommends service intervals at once every 50-years. However, the 9F62 in this model has an accuracy rating of ±10 seconds per year and a 3-years battery life. The SBGX069/SBGX269 is priced at ¥ 340,000.
The Sinn UX (EZM 2B) is another option. Designed for professionals, the Sinn is made from tough German submarine steel. It is powered by an ETA 955.652 thermo-compensated quartz movement that is accurate to ±10 seconds per year. A rather capable do anything and go anywhere piece. The Sinn is priced at USD 2,350.
From Switzerland, we have the Breitling Colt Skyracer (ref. X74320E4/BF87/293S/X20S.1). The watch is powered by the Breitling caliber 74: a movement based off the ubiquitous ETA 955.652 – ±10 seconds per year. Everything is packed into a sturdy 45mm case made from Breitlight: a composite fiber and plastic mix that is six times stronger than steel. The Skyracer retails for SGD 2,850.
