Seiko launched the Astroquartz,the first
quartz watch in the world. It was capable
of 36,000 vb/h.
40 Years Later:
The technical complexity of the Spring Drive Movement
is phenomenal to say the least, with a Power Reserve of
72 hours. It's considered to be a mechanical movement
that is controlled by two capacitors which allows this
watch to beat at an incredible 60,000 vb/h.
This achievement has given Seiko a COSC rating
of +/-1 second per day or (+/-15 second per month).
Which is astonishing considering the fact,that
many Swiss Watches on the market are rated at
+/-4-5second per day.
I hope you enjoy your new Seiko and congratulations.
Cheers,
Simon
