Quartz movements are powered by a battery and regulated by a quartz crystal. When electricity passes through the crystal, it vibrates at a precise frequency, driving a motor that moves the hands.

• Highly accurate (typically ±15 seconds per month)
• Low maintenance
• Often more affordable
• No winding required

Quartz watches are ideal for those who value precision and convenience. Brands often use quartz in both casual and high-end models, especially for their slim profiles and reliability.

At Watchello, you’ll find quartz models by:

• Casio – Durable and reliable timepieces.
• Just Cavalli – Stylish fashion watches with quartz precision.
• Ferrè Milano – Elegant designs with reliable movements.
• Versace – Sophisticated quartz chronographs.
• Esprit – Casual and contemporary quartz designs.

Solar watches are technically quartz watches, but instead of using a disposable battery, they are powered by light—both natural and artificial. The energy is stored in a rechargeable cell, allowing the watch to run even in complete darkness for months.

• Powered by light—no battery replacement needed
• Environmentally friendly
• Long power reserves (often 6+ months)
• Same accuracy as traditional quartz

Watchello highlights:

• Orient – Models like Mako Solar Chronograph and Mako 40 Solar blend robust design with solar technology.
• Casio – G‑Shock, Pro Trek, and Edifice lines feature practical solar movements for everyday use and adventures.

Mechanical movements rely entirely on mechanical parts—no battery involved. They store energy in a wound mainspring that releases gradually, powering the watch’s gear train.

• Manual-wind: Requires regular winding by turning the crown
• Automatic (self-winding): Uses a rotor that winds the mainspring through wrist motion

Featured Brand: Orient combines manual and automatic features in durable collections like Bambino, Mako, and Kamasu.

For a more refined experience, Orient Star represents the pinnacle of the brand’s mechanical craftsmanship—Made in Japan, hand-assembled, and featuring high-end complications like power reserve indicators and open-heart dials.

Why choose mechanical?

• Admired for craftsmanship and heritage
• Often visible through transparent casebacks
• Requires regular maintenance and service

Automatic watches are a subcategory of mechanical watches. They feature a semicircular rotor that spins with wrist movement, winding the mainspring automatically.

• No battery needed
• Winding is passive—just wear and go
• Long-lasting with proper care

Collectors enjoy the ritual of wearing and maintaining automatic watches. Models with power reserves up to 80 hours provide flexibility even when not worn daily.
