This bold and contemporary-looking kinetic watch is powered by the natural movements of your wrist, meaning youΓÇÖll never need to change a battery. It has a six-month power reserve capacitor, so that even if you leave it on the shelf for six months, it will continue to keep accurate time. A power reserve indicator shows how much reserve power is left. When the reserve drops to less than 24 hours, the second hand will warn you by shifting to two-second increments. This particular watch has a deep blue dial set in a bezel of brushed stainless steel. It features three-hand function with Lumibrite hands and markers, and a date window at the three oΓÇÖclock position. It also has a scratch-resistant Hardlex crystal and a screw-down caseback. The watch is set on a brushed stainless steel link bracelet that fastens with a push-button release clasp. Water-tested to 100 meters, this watch is suitable for both swimming and snorkeling.
Kinetic: A powerhouse in technological innovation
Like mechanical and quartz, Kinetic is a platform. Over the past 20 years, SEIKO has created on this platform a suite of Kinetic movements, each bringing unique features to the consumer.
It was at the 1986 Basel Fair that SEIKO unveiled its first Kinetic prototype. Introduced under the trial name of 'AGM', it was the first watch in the world to convert kinetic movement into electrical energy. It was the first step in a development that, 20 years later, has made Kinetic synonymous with environmental friendliness, high performance and long-lasting convenience to a generation of users worldwide. From the launch in 1988 of the first commercially available watch (then under the new name AGS) until today, over eight million Kinetic watches have been sold (as of 2007).
In 1998, Kinetic Auto Relay was released, extending the 'at-rest' operating period of the watch to a remarkable 4 years. 1999 saw the launch of the Ultimate Kinetic Chronograph, a masterpiece which fused the very best of SEIKO's mechanical and electronic watch making skills, and in 2003 another Kinetic Chronograph was launched. At Baselworld 2005, the Kinetic Perpetual made its first appearance, combining Kinetic convenience and longevity with a perpetual calendar, correct to the year 2100. In 2007, SEIKO's emotional technology Kinetic Direct Drive is introduced.
