Q&Q Sports Automatic Tachymeter, Black Sandblasted Dial (Miyota 21-Jewel)

Q&Q Sports automatic, mass-market line from Citizen Watch Co., late 1990s to early 2000s. Powered by the Miyota 8200-series automatic caliber, 21 jewels, self-winding through natural wrist motion, no battery required. Stainless steel case with a fixed silver-tone tachymeter bezel scaled to 400 units, used for calculating speed or rate over a fixed distance or time. Deeply sandblasted black dial signed "Q&Q," applied luminous baton and rectangular hour markers with luminous fill. Day-date window at 3 o'clock displaying day in white and date in orange-red on a black background. Polished baton hour and minute hands paired with a slender sweep seconds hand. Rated water resistant per dial marking. Black leather strap.

Story of This Watch: Q&Q built its identity on stretching Citizen's manufacturing muscle down to genuinely accessible price points, and this piece proves the point, a real Miyota automatic movement with a proper tachymeter complication wearing a fraction of what comparable Japanese sports automatics typically cost. It's a rare find specifically because functional, well-preserved Q&Q automatics rarely surface on the resale market, most were worn hard and cycled through quickly given their original budget positioning.

Condition: Rated 4/5, excellent condition, a rare surviving example. Dial texture and markers remain sharp with luminous fill intact, day-date window crisp and legible. Tachymeter bezel printing clear with no fading. Case shows light wear consistent with careful use. Leather strap supple and holding up well. Day-date function and automatic winding both operational.

Good Wrist Co. Assurance: Fully inspected & verified authentic. Q&Q Sports automatic confirmed, Citizen-manufactured Miyota 21-jewel movement verified & running. Day-date function tested & operational, tachymeter bezel intact. All components original, no non-original parts identified.
