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).
