FAQ

How much is a Ziega chronograph watch?

The Ziega Meridian Chronograph is £159 in every dial colour. Midnight blue, black and white are the same watch at the same price; only the dial changes.

What dial colours does the Ziega chronograph come in?

Three: midnight blue, black and white. Every one is the same chronograph with the same movement, case and specification.

Why is a Seiko quartz movement a good thing at this price?

A Seiko quartz chronograph movement keeps time to within seconds a month and runs for years on one battery, with no servicing needed. Reliable mechanical chronographs start above £1,000. Quartz is what makes a chronograph at this price possible.

What is the case made of?

316L stainless steel, the same marine-grade steel used in far more expensive watches, with a mineral glass crystal over the dial. There is no plating to wear through.

Is the watch really water resistant to 50 metres?

Yes, the Ziega chronograph is water resistant to 50 metres (5 ATM), and every case is pressure tested to 50 metres before it ships. Rain, washing up and swimming are all fine. Do not press the pushers underwater.

Like almost every microbrand, Ziega works with specialist manufacturing partners overseas to build its watches. Ziega is a British company and sells its watches directly at ziega.uk.

Does the Ziega chronograph come with a certificate?

What movement is inside the Ziega chronograph?

Where can I buy an affordable chronograph watch in the UK?
