FAQ
The AbyssForce uses a Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement — a hybrid that combines quartz timekeeping (battery-powered, accurate to within ±20 seconds per month) with a mechanical chronograph module (smooth sweeping seconds hand and snap-back reset). The battery lasts approximately 3 years and is easily replaced at any watch service center. It is NOT a fully automatic mechanical watch — please do not attempt to wind the crown.
Yes. The AbyssForce features a fully functional chronograph with three sub-dials measuring elapsed minutes (12 o'clock sub-dial up to 60), elapsed hours (9 o'clock sub-dial up to 24), and running seconds (6 o'clock sub-dial). The screw-down pushers above and below the crown start/stop and reset the chronograph.
The tachymeter scale on the chapter ring lets you measure speed over a known distance. Start the chronograph as you pass a starting marker, stop it as you pass a marker exactly one mile or one kilometer away. The number the seconds hand points to is your speed in MPH or KMH.
Approximately 3 years under normal use. Battery replacement is straightforward at any watch service center and typically costs $10–20.
Yes. The 500M / 50BAR water resistance, rotating dive bezel, screw-down crown, and screw-down chronograph pushers make this a legitimate dive watch suitable for swimming, snorkeling, surfing, and recreational scuba diving.
The chronograph pushers are screw-down, which maintains water resistance during chronograph operation. However, we recommend ensuring the pushers are fully secured before any water activity for maximum safety.
The helium release valve on the left side of the case is engineered for professional saturation-diving conditions, where helium can become trapped under the crystal during decompression. Recreational divers will never need it, but its presence reflects the AbyssForce's full-spec dive watch construction.
The 48mm case is best suited for wrists 7.0 inches (18cm) and larger. The 230mm band length comfortably fits wrists from 7.0" to 8.5". For wrists between 6.5 and 7.0 inches, the watch will wear bold but still fit. For wrists under 6.5 inches, we recommend the AbyssNova 200M (40mm) or AbyssHeritage 500M (43mm) instead.
The Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement is accurate to within ±20 seconds per month — significantly more accurate than typical automatic mechanical watches which run ±30 seconds per day.
The AbyssForce bracelet uses solid stainless steel links throughout — not hollow construction. This adds to the watch's substantial 270-gram weight and contributes to the premium feel on the wrist.
