    Flint is a form of the mineral quartz. It's a stretch but maybe the bot screwed up and identified a jeweler's version of a FLINTlock pistol as a quartz watch.

    Is it possible that the white, fake flint in the striker is a piece of quartz?

    I thought that the flint was indeed quartz, but that does not make it a quartz watch. The video looks to be by Philips, presumable for sale. One has a right to expect an accurate description from a house of their reputation.
