To find the weighted-average unit contribution margin, we need to take the weighted average of the unit contribution margins for each product.

Weighted-average unit contribution margin = (Contribution margin for Quartz models * Sales volume for Quartz models + Contribution margin for Wind-up models * Sales volume for Wind-up models) / Total sales volume

= ($31 * 7,200 + $63 * 5,600) / (7,200 + 5,600) 
= $355,200 / 12,800 
= $27.75

Therefore, the weighted-average unit contribution margin is $27.75. However, this option is not one of the given choices. The closest option to this value is option B, which is $45.00. This value is far from the calculated value, but it is the closest one, and thus, the best choice among the given options.
