The Dan Henry 1962 is a 39 mm vintage-inspired racing chronograph powered by a Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement. Its 45.9 mm lug-to-lug length, 50 m water resistance and variant-specific crystal details are the key things to check before choosing a configuration.
What is the Dan Henry 1962 Racing Chronograph?
Dan Henry presents the 1962 as a tribute to mid-century racing chronographs, with a tachymeter bezel for reading speed and three subdials for timing information. Its product story invokes circuits including Le Mans, Silverstone, Spa and Watkins Glen; that is the brand’s design narrative, not evidence of a direct lineage to a particular historic watch or driver. See the official product listing for the available configurations and current terms.
What size is the Dan Henry 1962?
The official white-variant specifications give a 39 mm case diameter, 13.5 mm thickness, 20 mm lug width and 45.9 mm lug-to-lug length. The black edition page gives the same headline case dimensions. The lug-to-lug measurement is useful when judging how the watch may sit across your wrist, while the 20 mm width identifies the strap size to look for; compatibility of a particular third-party strap or its hardware is not established by the listing.
- Case: 316L stainless steel
- Diameter: 39 mm
- Thickness: 13.5 mm
- Lug-to-lug: 45.9 mm
- Lug width: 20 mm
- Caseback: screw-back
These measurements are published by Dan Henry, not independent fit-test results. Wrist comfort also depends on wrist shape, strap choice and personal preference.

Is the Dan Henry 1962 mechanical?
No. The watch uses the Seiko Japan VK63 meca-quartz caliber, so it is not fully mechanical. Dan Henry describes a smoothly moving central chronograph hand and an instant reset. WatchTime’s general explanation of the VK series describes quartz timekeeping paired with a mechanical chronograph element; it offers context on the movement architecture, not a separate test of this watch. WatchTime’s VK-series overview.
Does it have a sapphire crystal?
Crystal specifications differ by variant. The white page lists a double-domed K1 mineral crystal with anti-reflective treatment. The black edition page calls its crystal double-domed sapphire-coated K1 mineral, which is still mineral crystal rather than solid sapphire. Dan Henry also describes the lume differently: LumiNova on the white page and Super-LumiNova on the black edition page. Check the selected variant’s listing rather than assuming these details apply across the range. White variant specifications · Black edition specifications.
