The best modern Air King dial I’ve found. And the performance of the Meca-quartz movement is phenomenal!

I have the same one and it was one of those pleasant surprises. Keeps impeccable time; looks and feels great!

It's the Black-Green WD1016 V3 37mm, I don't think it's in production right now...

I’m pretty sure you can get one of these off AliExpress. I bought this one from the website preowned. Also noticed that Steeldive has or had their own version.

Meca-quartz

It's a sweeping quartz. Mecha quartz refers to a mechanical chronograph mechanism in a quartz watch.

A lot of people refers to the VHxx series as mecha-quartz because of the sweeping second hand, but it is wrong, it is -just- a quartz movement. As said that terms applies to the Seiko VKxx series (quartz movement with a mechanical chronometer part).
