For an affordable purple-dial watch under $300, start with the WD50Q V2 for quartz from $109, the WD6263 for a $179 chronograph, the Cronos L6019 for a compact $229 automatic, or the WD0019 for a $289 automatic diver with a New OTF Clasp. These four models cover different uses, so choose the movement and format before comparing dial photos.

Compare the current purple configurations
| Model and exact option | Price | Movement | Case diameter* | Lug-to-lug | Thickness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WD50Q V2: Purple / Sapphire Crystal / FKM Band or Bracelet | $109 FKM; $129 bracelet | VH31 sweeping quartz | 38mm | 46mm | 11mm, including crystal |
| WD6263: Purple / 5-Hole Clasp | $179 | Seiko VK63 meca-quartz chronograph | 38.5mm | 46.5mm | 12.75mm; crystal inclusion unspecified |
| Cronos L6019: Sunray Purple / NH35 | $229 | NH35 automatic | 36mm | 43.4mm | 11.55mm; crystal inclusion unspecified |
| WD0019: Purple / New OTF Clasp | $289 | Sea-Gull ST2130 automatic | 39mm | 47.5mm | 12mm, including crystal |
*Case diameters exclude the crown. The WD0019 has a separate 40mm bezel measurement. All four list sapphire crystals. Thickness measurements follow each listing; the two unspecified measurements should not be treated as directly equivalent to measurements explicitly including the crystal.
WD50Q V2: quartz dive-watch style from $109
The WD50Q V2 is the lowest-priced choice here. Its VH31 sweeping quartz movement suits a shopper who wants the dive-watch format without choosing an automatic. The polished 316L stainless-steel case measures 38mm across and 46mm lug-to-lug, with a bubble-boxed sapphire crystal and clear anti-reflective coating.
Choose Purple / Sapphire Crystal / FKM Band at $109, or spend $20 more for the $129 bracelet configuration.
WD6263: a $179 meca-quartz chronograph
Choose the WD6263 when a racing-style chronograph matters more than an automatic movement. Its Seiko VK63 is a meca-quartz chronograph; the central chronograph hand is for the stopwatch function, rather than a continuously running central seconds display. The listing specifies a sapphire crystal, curved sapphire bezel and 316L stainless-steel case and bracelet.
The available selection is Purple / 5-Hole Clasp at $179. The purple OTF-clasp option was sold out when checked.
Cronos L6019: a 36mm automatic at $229
The L6019 has the smallest listed case diameter and shortest lug-to-lug span in this group. Choose it if your priorities are an NH35 automatic movement and a compact everyday format. It lists a flat sapphire crystal with clear anti-reflective coating and a brushed stainless-steel bracelet.
The exact selection is Sunray Purple / NH35 at $229. This is above a $200 budget.
WD0019: automatic diver with a New OTF Clasp at $289
The Purple / New OTF Clasp WD0019 at $289 combines a Sea-Gull ST2130 automatic movement with a ceramic bezel insert and sapphire exhibition case back. The movement is listed at 28,800 vibrations per hour. The current option includes the New OTF Clasp for on-the-fly adjustment.
Its 47.5mm lug-to-lug span is the longest here. Compare that measurement with a watch you already wear; diameter alone cannot guarantee wrist fit.
Before ordering
For an automatic, shortlist the Cronos or WD0019. For the lowest listed cost, choose the WD50Q on FKM. For a chronograph, choose the WD6263's available 5-Hole Clasp version.
Purple names do not establish identical shades across models, and lighting and screens affect photographs. Recheck the exact option, clasp, availability and final checkout total before ordering.
For a closer size comparison, see the Cronos 36mm vs 39mm guide. If bracelet adjustment is your priority, compare watches with OTF clasps under $300.
