Is the Speciale automatic or quartz?

It comes in both. The automatic version uses a Swiss mechanical chronograph movement, while the quartz version uses a battery-powered chronograph caliber.

The Speciale is a large, thick chronograph case in the 42–44 mm range, so it wears big on the wrist.

Does it have a tachymeter?

Yes. The bezel carries a tachymeter scale, matching the racing theme.

Is it water resistant?

It is rated for everyday water resistance, enough for splashes and rain, but not for diving.

Straton is a small independent watch brand known for motorsport-inspired chronographs sold mainly online.

Which version should I pick?

Pick the automatic for mechanical interest and a sweeping chronograph hand; pick the quartz for lower maintenance and easier ownership.

Our take on the Straton Speciale Automatic or Quartz watch

The Straton Speciale is a motorsport-inspired chronograph offered in two movements: a Swiss automatic or a quartz caliber. It has a chunky, vintage-racing look with a tachymeter bezel, a multi-register dial and a thick stainless case. It suits drivers and racing fans who want a bold, retro-styled chronograph. Against mainstream chronographs it leans on its motorsport styling and movement choice rather than brand recognition.
