Racing | F-150 Chrono-Black Watch (Light Blue Strap)

A quartz watch is a watch powered by a battery or solar cell, in which the timekeeping is regulated by a quartz crystal that vibrates at a certain frequency. Quartz watches differ from mechanical watches in that they are typically more accurate, and self-sustaining for 12 months or more,The battery used in our GT Chrono Watch is a Sony battery that lasts 3 years or more.

Quartz clocks and quartz watches are timepieces that use an electronic oscillator regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. This crystal oscillator creates a signal with very precise frequency, so that quartz clocks and watches are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than mechanical clocks.

When it comes to racing, timekeeping is fundamental. And as its name suggests, a racing watch is a purpose built timepiece used to measure race times. Typically used for motor racing, a racing watch can be used for motorbike, horse and yacht racing as well.

A chronograph is a specific type of watch that is used as a stopwatch combined with a display watch. A basic chronograph has an independent sweep second hand and a minute sub-dial; it can be started, stopped, and returned to zero by successive pressure on the stem.

A Tonneau watch means a watch with a barrel-shaped case. Different from traditional round or square cases, Wishdoit Watches exclusively designs tonneau watch for men.

It can measure your heart rate, calculate your average speed, or keep track of two events at the same time. There are also chronographs that have telemetre functions. This could inform you of the distance to a certain event that could either be seen or heard.

Quartz watches with their timing base of over 32,000 beats per second are naturally more accurate than an automatic watch, with its timing base of 6 or 8 beats per second. An analogue quartz watch will typically be accurate to +/- 15 or 20 seconds per MONTH on the wrist, so might vary by around ½ second per day.

To add some context to our first statement, a mechanical watch will lose between 5 and 10 seconds per day, while a quartz watch will lose around 4 seconds per month.

The chronograph function requires higher energy usage than a basic 3 hands movement. Whenever the chronograph function is activated, more energy is consumed. Should this function be allowed to operate permanently, the battery life will only last for around 10 to 12 months.
