Worn & Wound's 2026 Ride to Conquer Cancer Watch: Pink Cerakote, Black Dial, $399
Worn & Wound's 2026 Ride to Conquer Cancer watch: pink Cerakote titanium, Seiko mecha-quartz chrono, $399. $80 per watch goes to cancer research.
Worn & Wound's cycling team is back for the 2026 Ride to Conquer Cancer, and they're funding it the same way as last year: a limited-edition chronograph built with Boldr Supply Co. This time, the 41mm titanium case gets a flamingo pink Cerakote coating—scratch-resistant, loud, and paired with a glossy black dial that keeps the face readable despite the bright exterior.
The watch runs on a Seiko VK64 mecha-quartz movement. That's a hybrid: quartz accuracy with a mechanical chronograph module that gives you a smooth-sweeping central seconds hand instead of the tick-tick you'd get from a pure quartz chrono. It measures to 1/5 of a second, with a 24-hour subdial at 3:00 and a 60-minute totalizer at 9:00. Black pushers, fluted screw-down crown, caseback engraved with "Can't Stop, Won't Stop."
The matching blue-and-pink NATO strap comes from StrapHabit, and this year's package swaps the extra strap for an official team cycling cap with the same geometric pattern. The cap's a nice touch if you're actually riding; less useful if you just wanted a second strap to rotate through.
Pricing stayed flat at $399 despite the added Cerakote finish. $80 from each sale goes to the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation. The 2025 ride raised $20.6 million; the foundation has pulled in over $300 million since 2008, funding research that's moved treatment forward globally. Eight riders from the watch world are on the team this year, each committed to raising at least $2,500 individually.
The pink case won't be for everyone. If you prefer something that doesn't announce itself, this isn't it. But if you want a functional chronograph that funds cancer research and doesn't look like every other steel diver on the group ride, it's a straightforward buy. The mecha-quartz movement means no hand-winding and no service intervals like a full mechanical, but you also don't get the same long-term collectibility or resale that comes with a Swiss automatic at this price point.
