Both the Legera Standard and Legera Bullhead will come in a choice of two movements (Quartz or Automatic) and five color schemes with 20 different possible variants. One movement choice is the VK meca-quartz, a movement that gives the user the best of both worlds when it comes to affordability and function. The VK series is comprised of hybrid movements, developed by Seiko, that combine the accuracy of a quartz watch (+/- 20 seconds average per month) and a mechanical-chronograph feel with a 5-beat-per-second sweep chronograph hand, and a flyback chronograph reset. This movement gives a great user experience that will even appeal to owners of mechanical chronographs. The Straton Legera Standard and Legera Bullhead meca-quartz pre-order price will start at 329 CHF (Approx. $330); it’s 369 CHF (Approx. $370) for the option that includes a bracelet and leather strap — for a savings of around 35% off the final retail price. Straton Watch Co.
The second movement options for both watches are the Swiss-made Valjoux 7753 for the Legera Standard and the Valjoux 7750 for the Legera Bullhead. Both movements need no introduction, as they are widely used and respected in the “affordable” mechanical chronograph category. It’s difficult for any Microbrand to keep costs down, while offering something of quality/value when compared to larger established brands who can use economies of scale to keep prices down. For the specifications, materials used, and overall service, the mechanical version of the Legera Standard and Legera Bullhead comes in at a respectable 859 CHF (Approx. $860), with a standard leather strap and 899 CHF (Approx. $840) for the option including a bracelet and leather strap — again, at a savings of around 35% off the final retail price.
