INTRODUCTION
Time is all we have. Live Fearlessly…
Congratulations on the purchase of your Hager watch. You have made a good investment that will serve you
reliably for many years to come.
Just as in nature, form follows function in watch design, but naturally, a watch is also about appearance – and
style is something the Hager Professional Series has plenty of. A watch isn’t a status symbol anymore—it’s
style symbol. A modern watch, like a modern wardrobe, is one that combines the best of the old and the new
in unexpected, highly individualized ways. It’s about taste not tradition. Tradition is a great inspiration. As
long as we keep reinventing it. While its clear that we’ve looked to the past to create the professional series, it
is clearly a modern approach that represents a truly legitimate and interesting alternatives for aficionados
looking for something other than the ubiquitous. What is extraordinary about the Professional Series is that
it’s one of the few brands that completely transcends its price category, regardless of demographic and age.
Congratulations on your purchase of the Hager U-2. Your U-2 is equipped with the Seiko VK64 meca-
quartz 60-minute chronograph with tachymeter scale and 24 hours indicator sub-dial. What is a “meca-
quartz chronograph? Meca-quartz is a hybrid design: in a meca-quartz chronograph, the timekeeping
functions are controlled by a battery-powered quartz movement, while the stopwatch functions of the
chronograph are recorded by a mechanical module that is also powered by the battery. Meca-quartz builds on
the strengths of these two types of movements: the accuracy of quartz with the crisp feel and performance of a
mechanical chronograph. Compared to a conventional fully-mechanical chronograph, a watch with a meca-
quartz movement can be slimmer, more durable, and more reliable, cheaper to maintain and faster to service.
Meca-quartz movements have been used for four decades in the most rugged and reliable chronograph as well
as some in premier watch brands.
