Bracelet: Fitted on its original brushed & polished titanium bracelet with a push-button safety deployant clasp featuring a slide extension system adding 1.25" length to the bracelet. The bracelet is fully linked & will fit up to an 8" (21cm) wrist.
Movement: Powered by a Grand Seiko Spring Drive caliber 9r65: The Spring Drive movement is for the most part mechanical, but with an electrical powered regulating mechanism resulting in an extremely accurate timepiece.
- No external source of power (such as a battery) is required.
- The unwinding force of the mainspring generates a slight electrical current. The electrical power is then used to activate & power a quartz oscillator which vibrates at 32,786 Hz & transmits a precise reference signal to the Integrated Circuit.
- The IC compares the speed from the oscillator to the speed of the glide wheel (which drives the gears) and applies a magnetic brake when it detects the glide-wheel turning too fast.
- The seconds hand moves in a continuous extremely smooth gliding motion and is accurate up to +/- 1 second per day.
- Contains 30 jewels & has an approximate power reserve of 72 hours (3 days).
Condition: This watch is in excellent overall condition. We have had the watch lightly & carefully spot-buffed to remove most light signs of wear that were present, however an effort was made to maintain the original factory 'zaratsu' finishing. The black coated bezel does show wear such as surface scratching & light dents, which is very typical for this model, however there is no chipping of the black coating or exposure of sub-material below the coating. Taking everything into account, we would be comfortable grading this watch in a 94%+ overall condition. Delivered in its original box with all papers.
