Sekonda 30200 Chronograph Bracelet Watch - W31391
Ref. 30200
Sits in Sekonda’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Sekonda watches we list, which start at £20.
Price range £20 to £120 across 221 Sekonda watches in stock.Part of Sekonda's Circuit collection, this watch draws its design language from the dashboard rather than the boardroom — the black tachymeter bezel and deep blue sunray dial with white-outlined baton markers are the language of the stopwatch-and-rev-counter tradition, worn on the wrist. At 39mm with an 11mm case profile, it sits at a size that works without demanding attention, and the integrated multi-link bracelet keeps the proportions tidy from the wrist up. The sunray finish on the dial catches direction: flat light reads it as a calm, even blue, while angled light brings up the grain. The deployant clasp fastens cleanly and adjusts by link removal, which is the correct way to fit a bracelet properly rather than relying on a loose keeper.

Learn more about Sekonda
Sekonda was created in 1966, not as a manufacturer but as an export label. The Soviet state watch combine ChasProm needed a name under which to sell its output in the West, and Sekonda became that name — watches built at the First Moscow Watch Factory and the Petrodvorets Watch Factory in Leningrad, arriving in British shops as Sekonda rather than Poljot or Raketa.
That origin explains a curiosity of the vintage market: open a late-1960s Sekonda and you will often find a Poljot movement inside, stamped Made in USSR.
The quartz era changed the arrangement. Cheap, accurate Japanese movements undercut Soviet mechanical production, and after the breakup of the Soviet Union the brand cut its Russian ties entirely, moving manufacturing to Hong Kong in 1993.
What did not change was the position: reliable watches at prices most people do not have to think about. Sekonda had become the leading watch brand in the UK by 1988 and has stayed there, selling over a million watches a year, with Seksy, One and Xpose covering fashion and outdoor styles.
The brand is owned by Time Products, which also owns Accurist and Limit.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
20mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 39mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
Cheapest place to buy
Both F.Hinds and Goldsmiths list it at £80, so choose on delivery and warranty rather than price.
