I have gotten into Seiko Spring Drive lately and they have changed my collecting,to an extent I no longer wear anything else.
Spring drive is pure quality,that second hand is mesmerizing to watch find myself staring at them for ages..

Love the Divers watch. Seiko have always been at the forefront of watch technology. I admire what they do and the spring drive is part of what they do best. Innovative and sometimes breathetaking, always interesting and a great way to get into best technoilogy at reasonable prices. My first watch was a Seiko. I still have it and its still going strong. |

Could someone please elaborate on what spring drive is? Is it quartz, mechanical, or something else altogether? |

It's electrically regulated mechanical - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_Drive Thanks Roff. So the electric regulator (-1) and the quartz oscillator (-1) are powered by the glide wheel (+1) i.e. no need for batteries. Mechanical winding but electrically controlled unwinding, with gliding instead of ticking hands (+1). Excellent accuracy (anything from 2s/week to 1s/day) (+2) ! Interesting little hybrid we've got here. Sounds closer to quartz than mechanical though? |
