and limited edition too right? same family as the brown dial a few posts earlier...who is going to complete the triplet with the silver dial?

from experience seiko's sunburst are hard to capture in pictures, and have to be seen to be believed.

the sarb isn't too shabby (but i'm sure the GS will be much better):

Yes limited edition too. You're absolutely right. The photo didn't do it justice

no not regulated by a quartz, a battery runs a current through a coil around a tuning fork that causes it to hum at 360HZ.

this is comparable to the beat of a quartzs (1 per second) and mechanicals (5 to 10 per seconds). 300hz is imperceptible to the human eye so the accutron was the first "continous sweep" seconds hand.




a similarity is the removal of the balance wheel that is the heart of the mechanical watch - its that part that gives a watch a ticking heartbeat that we are so fond of.

from that point of view, a spring drive has more in common to an accutron than to a mechanical movement.

maybe the next horological innovation will be a rotor-driven turning fork movement that is cheaper to assemble than a spring drive.

Wow this thread travelled 3 pages in 1 day. Thanks for your sharing!

GS Owners, did you guys buy your watches in Singapore? Am entertaining the thought of buying one, but generally find that in singapore they don't care about you and still want to take everything that's in your wallet.

moonwatch owners!
do you place the chronograph hands back to the original place or keep it away to show case the logo?
