Seiko Watch Technology

Seiko Spring Drive
Spring Drive is the most important new movement created by SEIKO since the quartz Astron in 1969. It is based on the foundation of all mechanical watch technology, a mainspring, but uses an entirely new system for time regulation that delivers the equivalent of 1 second per day accuracy, and, uniquely features, glide-motion hands that represent the continuous, even motion of time. Spring Drive. The Quiet Revolution.


Seiko Kinetic Direct Drive
Kinetic Direct Drive encompasses the best of both worlds: quartz accuracy with the emotional engagement of a mechanical and is environmentally friendly. The exclusive technology draws energy from the movement of your wrist or the turn of the crown and keeps you informed with a power reserve indicator.


Seiko Kinetic Chronograph
The next generation of high-performance timekeeping and a Seiko world's first. All the features of stopwatch timing plus Kinetic technology, which means you never have to stop to change a battery because this watch is powered by the energy you create.


Seiko Kinetic Perpetual
Another world's first technology from Seiko. Kinetic Perpetual combines the features and benefits of the industry's leading watch technology - Kinetic Auto Relay and Perpetual Calendar. Once set, the calendar automatically adjusts for odd and even months including February of leap years up to February 2100. When the watch senses 24 hours of inactivity it puts itself into suspended animation (sleep mode) to conserve energy. The date continues to advance correctly while the watch is asleep. Wake it up with a few shakes of your wrist and it automatically resets itself to the correct time even if it's been asleep for up to 4 years.


Seiko Kinetic
Seiko Kinetic is the first and only quartz watch powered by human energy. Based on revolutionary technology, Seiko Kinetic watches run entirely on self-generated energy from the natural movement of your wrist. Environmentally friendly: The most advanced electronic watch technology. They never need a battery change. Six-month power reserve.


Seiko Ultimate Kinetic Chronograph
The Ultimate Kinetic Chronograph combines the reliability and high accuracy of Kinetic technology with the traditional attributes of the mechanical chronograph. One essential characteristic of the best chronographs is the reset responsiveness of the hands. To return each hand to its starting point instantaneously, this model features a heart cam snap-to-zero arrangement, which has always been an attractive feature of mechanical chronographs. To ensure the smooth movement of the hands and an instant date change, 38 rubies are used in the bearings. In addition a backlash mechanism ensures high-precision movement of the wheels and hands. Assembled by hand using 350 parts.


Seiko Kinetic GMT
The marriage of Kinetic with a GMT function makes this the perfect travelers' watch.  The hour hand can be set without disturbing the accuracy of Seiko's unique Kinetic movement, and as Kinetic is powered by the movement of your body, this streamlined and refined new timepiece offers the international traveler a unique combination of elegance, powerful design and ‘set & forget’ convenience.


Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay
Like all Seiko Kinetic watches, Kinetic Auto Relay is powered by human movement. However, when it senses inactivity for three days, it puts itself into suspended animation (sleep mode) to conserve energy. Wake it up with a few shakes of your wrist. It automatically resets itself to the exact time, even if it's been asleep for up to four years. No other watch on the planet does that.


Seiko Mechanical
Seiko automatic movement high grade caliber is designed to place Seiko firmly in the high quality mechanical market. The movement is made of parts, all of which except rubies, are produced and assembled by Seiko Instruments Inc. The movement is exquisitely finished with an engraved rotor, polished edges to the bridges and hairline shading on the main surfaces. The high beat (28,800) movement delivers accuracy of -15 to +25 seconds a day and the Spron 510* mainspring generates a power reserve of more than 45 hours.


Seiko Yachting Timer
The next generation of chronograph timing. Three pre-set countdown timers (5, 6 and 10 minutes) and one free-set countdown timer (up to 15 minutes) prepare for action. Race-time chronograph monitors progress. Dual time capable. This is how the race is won.


Seiko Alarm Chronograph
Seiko alarm chronographs offer the features of a chronograph along with a 12-hour alarm.


Seiko Chronograph
Seiko Chronographs provide standard watch functions as well as precise stopwatch timing for a variety of activities.


Seiko Chronograph Perpetual
Chronograph Perpetual combines the features of a Chronograph and Perpetual Calendar. The chronograph provides standard watch functions as well as precise stopwatch timing for a variety of activities while the Perpetual Calendar automatically adjusts for odd and even months including February of leap years.


Seiko Dual Flyback Chronograph
The Dual Flyback Chronograph presents an entirely new Chronograph movement in a watch that epitomizes Seiko's commitment to precision timing and luxury details.


Seiko Perpetual Calendar
The Seiko Perpetual Calendar automatically adjusts for odd and even months including February of leap years.


Seiko World Timer
The Seiko World Timer is able to display the local time in various cities worldwide.


Seiko Quartz Watches
With Seiko's passion, the Seiko Quartz has brought innovation to the history of watches. The quartz watch, developed in 1969, revolutionized the conventional concept of watches. This is a watch that has a crystal oscillator at its core for accuracy. The crystalline body of a crystal cut to a fixed shape has a characteristic to generate steady vibration if voltage is applied to it. Through the ages, the idea has existed that this crystal-specific electrical property is used for a crystal oscillator to be the standard of timekeeping accuracy of watches. However, to take advantage of quartz crystal, whose excellence had been demonstrated in terms of accuracy, in a small world “watch,” there were many barriers that had to be overcome.

In 1969, Seiko succeeded in resolving all these issues and made available to the world for the first time a commercially viable quartz watch. To develop a quartz watch for practical use, unique technologies only available by Seiko were created. For example, adoption of a crystal oscillator cut in the shape of a tuning-fork and development of an IC and step motor to properly operate signals from a crystal oscillator had to be created. Additionally, with a passion to change the future of watches, Seiko did not pursue monopolization on patent rights of those unique technologies and opened them to the world. Later on, many technologies provided by Seiko became world standards and have contributed to development of present day quartz watches.
