Seiko Kinetic

Seiko has been developing different Kinetic watches for more than 20 years.

Just like mechanics and quartz, Kinetic is a technology platform. The term "Kinetic" describes a movement that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy. Over time, Kinetic has become synonymous with environmental friendliness, durability and high performance.

Each of these movements offers specific functions and characteristics.

Like all Kinetic watches, Kinetic Direct Drive watches generate electrical energy from the wearer's arm movements, but can also generate energy by manually turning the crown. A special element on the dial allows you to read off the residual energy as well as the level of energy generated during manual winding. The energy transfer can thus be observed in real time during manual winding.

Seiko Premier

The collection of Seiko Premier watches includes quartz and mechanical calibres.

The Premier collection is characterized by the use of the exceptional Seiko Kinetic Direct Drive caliber.

Seiko has been developing various Kinetic movements for over 20 years. Each of these movements provides the wearer with specific characteristics and functions. Kinetic Direct Drive, for example, describes an innovative technology that enables energy to be transmitted in real time through the wearer's own body movements.

As with all Kinetic watches, the arm movement of the wearer automatically generates electrical energy. Kinetic Direct Drive offers the wearer the additional option of generating energy by turning the crown. In addition to the residual energy, the display of the watches shows the energy level generated by the manual winding process. This means that Kinetic Direct Drive creates a direct interaction between the wearer and the watch by allowing the wearer to observe the energy transfer in real time during the manual winding process.

The design of the Premier watches is characterized by the use of design elements of classical architecture and the world of Art Deco. Seiko men's watches of the Premier collection convince by a special elegance, the Seiko ladies' watches of the Premier collection draw from these design elements a particularly feminine character.

Seiko Presage

The Presage collection includes an extensive range of calibres, such as the inexpensive 4R calibre », the 6R calibre » and the exclusive 8R calibre ». Seiko develops and builds all calibres itself, so Presage watches have the potential to last for generations.

Since its foundation, Seiko has developed and perfected mechanical watchmaking skills that appeal to a wide audience in more than 100 years of company history. The long history of the Japanese watch manufactory has resulted in three important developments for mechanical watchmaking:

Spron - All Seiko mechanical watches exclusively use Spron alloy for main and balance springs. Spron is characterized by maximum elasticity, resilience, resistance to corrosion and heat.

Diashock - In 1958 Seiko developed its own shock protection system. This protection serves to absorb shocks and vibrations that a watch experiences when it falls to the ground, for example, and which usually damage balance components, especially the balance axle. By means of a diashock, the jewel is connected to a spring to support the axis of the balance, the elasticity of which absorbs vibrations.

Magic Lever - In 1959 Seiko increased the winding efficiency of a wristwatch, shortening the time to complete winding. Magic Lever is a V-shaped lift that allows all movements of the flywheel mass to be transformed into a direction of rotation to wind the mainspring. The ingenious thing about this is that the flywheel mass can be moved both clockwise and counterclockwise.

Seiko Prospex

Reliability, precision, robustness and good readability. Hobby and professional divers appreciate these features of the

Prospex diving watches from Seiko, as do the different calibers and specifications.

The solar chronographs, automatic models or solar diving watches of the Japanese watch manufacturer are 20 bar water resistant, pushers, crown and case back screwed.

Large arrow hands and indices with LumiBrite luminous coating, some of which are framed in colour, ensure good legibility.

The unidirectional rotating bezels are easy to operate thanks to the ribbing and fixed silicone bracelets ensure a secure fit on the diver's wrist.

Prospex models have power reserves of up to six months, stop functions of up to 60 minutes in 1/5 second increments, an intermediate time measurement and a small second. When fully charged, some models display the correct time for up to 10 months.

The automatic models have a very high winding efficiency, thanks to the "Magic Lever" winding system developed by Seiko.

For example, the following calibers are used in Prospex watches: 4R35, 4R36, 5M85, 6R15, V157, V175, V176, V195, 7N01, 8B92, 8L35, 8X53

Seiko Solar

Seiko Solar watches are powered by light energy and have a highly luminous LumiBrite dial. They thus combine two practical technologies around the sun:

A light source charges the watch's energy store via a solar cell unit and the watch's dial is additionally charged via the light source so that it shines clearly in the dark. The time that a solar watch runs until it needs to be recharged (power reserve) is between two and ten months, depending on the model.

Seiko, the watch pioneer, was involved at a very early stage in the development of new technologies that made battery-free operation of wristwatches possible through alternative energy generation. In 1988, for example, the Japanese watch manufacturer launched Seiko Kinetic, which is powered by kinetic energy. Ten years later, the Seiko Thermic followed, which works thanks to body heat. Seiko Solar rounds off this battery-free series. We can look forward to the next innovative developments.

Seiko Sportura

Seikos Sportura chronographs as well as Seikos brand ambassador Novak Djokovic set sporting standards.

The wristwatches of the Sportura collection prove their worth in sports timekeeping, thanks to the wealth of experience Seiko has gathered during his long company history.

Sportura chronographs feature easy-to-use push buttons, a tachymeter scale and a stop function in 1/5 second increments.
