Quartz watches for the month day 8!

I know what some of you are thinking, that's an automatic! Lol it does look like it's an automatic but it's seiko's kinetic movement. A rotor to charge up the battery. I forgot when I got this, it was a while back and I did have to get the battery changed one time. I really thought kinetic came before spring drive but good old Google told me I was wrong. Spring drive had a prototype in 1982 and the kinetic prototype was in 1986. This is probably my favorite seiko with its tonneau shaped case (HEY! Is that a Richard Mille?) and that super cool dial layout.

Snl017 I believe

·

this is so cool you always have the most interesting watches to post on here

I never quite understood why spring drive got positioned as this ultra luxury mechanism for time and then kinetic didn't, the technologies are confusingly similar

·

That is a very cool 😎 looking and mechanics.

Thanks! You know I'm starting to think that they made kinetic as a more affordable movement to the spring drive

I used to have it and it was one of the watches I owned that received more compliments. My cousin, who’s like my brother, liked it a lot so I gifted it to him.

·

Even spring drive is quartz regulated by electricity, so go quartz, was and still is the future. Some people just like to complicate themselves, including me.

·

I have been peeping at one of these for several weeks there is one for sale in my area. I think they look cool

·

Mine was released around 2010 (snl017) but you may still find some floating around. Here's the original from 2000!
