About Our Quartz Watch Collection

Quartz remains one of the most reliable and accurate movements in watchmaking, and our collection reflects its versatility across a broad range of brands and styles.

Tissot's quartz range is the most extensive in the collection, spanning dress watches, sport chronographs and everyday designs, Swiss-made at accessible prices.

Gucci brings a different approach to the quartz watch, with distinctive styles across the G-Timeless, G-Frame and 25H collections.

Tag Heuer's quartz watches span the Formula 1 and Aquaracer collections, combining sport watch credentials with Swiss engineering.

Raymond Weil and Longines both bring considered Swiss watchmaking to the quartz category, with dress and sport options for gents and ladies across steel, gold-plated and two-tone finishes.

Grand Seiko represents the upper end of our collection, with some of the finest luxury quartz watches available. The Heritage range includes models with the brand's celebrated Snowflake dials and the Sport GMT, all driven by high-precision quartz movements made in Japan.

G-Shock rounds out the collection with shock-resistant, solar-powered designs across the 2100 series, Master of G and Full Metal lines. Nivada Grenchen Mecaquartz models also feature, including a Wallace Allan exclusive limited-edition collaboration, for those looking for something truly individual.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a quartz watch work?

Most quartz movements utilise batteries as their primary source of power. A small electrical current generated by the battery is directed towards a quartz crystal, which in turn creates vibration. That vibration is used to help rhythmically swing a balance wheel located in the watch movement, enabling it to function as required. The number of rhythmical swings (or ‘oscillations’) made by the balance wheel over the course of a single second is expressed in Hertz, with each swing producing a corresponding vibration. Quartz crystals are known for their precise frequency standard, meaning that they’re both reliable and highly accurate.

Are quartz watches waterproof?

The degree to which a watch is able to resist water is dependent on the model in question, and quartz-based timepieces are no exception. Although no timepiece can be said to be completely waterproof in every circumstance, most major watchmakers offer dedicated ranges centred around water resistance. Depending on what you buy, your watch may be water resistant up to depths of 50m, 100m, 1000m or perhaps even more. Examples of quartz-based timepieces that offer water resistance include the Tag Heuer Carrera MOP Quartz, the OMEGA De Ville Prestige Quartz and the Raymond Weil Moon Phase Maestro Steel.

Can a quartz watch last a lifetime?

Quartz movements can last several decades or even an entire lifetime dependent on the quality of the watch. This is partly due to the relative simplicity with which they’re made; the average quartz-based movement may utilise around 30 or so parts, whilst mechanical movements can incorporate up to 200. When it comes to longevity, high-end quartz timepieces are likely to significantly outlast lower-end models. This is not to say your quartz timepiece won’t require the odd bit of maintenance. As most quartz watches are battery-powered, the majority of them will need to be serviced from time to time. The frequency with which this will be necessary may vary, but the average battery will generally need replacing every 2-5 years. Regular maintenance helps ensure your watch remains in the best possible condition, supporting optimal performance in the long-term. If you’re looking to get your watch serviced by a recognised specialist, feel free to get in touch with us to schedule a hassle-free appointment.

How much is a Geneva quartz watch worth?

Geneva is one of the most affordable watch brands available, and its timepieces are stocked by countless department stores and online resellers. Quartz watches manufactured by Geneva are primarily designed for the mass market, meaning their value is likely to be limited. Unlike timepieces manufactured by luxury watch brands, a Geneva watch generally does not incorporate high-value materials or make use of sophisticated mechanics. Having said that, it all depends on the model, condition and desirability of the watch in question.

How much does a quartz watch cost?

Quartz watches come in all shapes and sizes, meaning that it’s hard to classify them into a single price range. As a rule of thumb, quartz timepieces are significantly less expensive to produce than mechanical watches. As a result, many of the most affordable watches currently on the market incorporate a quartz-based mechanism. Many well-known watchmakers such as Seiko and Citizen produce quartz timepieces for less than £100. However, you may also find quartz timepieces that sit at the opposite side of the spectrum, with prices for high-end models often running into the thousands.
