Product & Watch Information
A Chrono Mod is a customized watch built around NH-series, Miyota or VK63 movements and premium components. Each piece is individually assembled to reflect your unique style, combining precision, reliability, and creativity.
Your watch is hand-assembled to order in our partner workshop in China, from components we select ourselves, then water-tested before it ships to you. Chrono Mod is a French company, and our team answers your questions before and after your order.
We use NH38, NH34, NH35, NH36, NH70, NH72 (automatic) and VK63 (mecha-quartz) movements, all renowned for their durability, accuracy and value. Every movement is tested before shipping.
Each watch is assembled by hand, to order, in our partner workshop, then water-tested before shipping.
Water resistance depends on the model and is listed in the specifications of each product page. The case back comes with the model: it is not an option you can change in the configurator.
Models with a transparent sapphire case back are made for rain and splashes, not for swimming.
Absolutely. You can choose every component in our configurator, or contact us directly if you want a custom combination beyond the available options.
The case back comes with the model, and so does the water resistance listed on its product page: it is not an option you can change when you order.
Yes! Send us a message on WhatsApp or email and we’ll help you build the perfect version of the model you like.
Each watch comes with a sizing tool to help you easily adjust the bracelet to your wrist. You can do it at home in just a few minutes.
Winding, setting the time, setting the date: everything is explained step by step in the user guide for your model, which you can download as a PDF.
Yes, we can send you photos of your watch before shipping if it is available in stock and already assembled. Just let us know in advance by email or WhatsApp.

If your order hasn’t arrived by the latest delivery date shown at checkout, please contact us at contact@chrono-mod.com. We’ll immediately investigate the situation and ensure your watch is delivered as quickly as possible.
You may return your watch within 30 days of delivery if:

If the return is due to a defect or issue on our end, we cover all shipping costs. If the return is for any other reason (e.g. change of mind), return shipping is the customer's responsibility.
