Automatic quartz is a collective term describing watch movements that combine a self-winding rotor mechanism [1] (as used in automatic mechanical watches) to generate electricity with a piezoelectric quartz crystal as its timing element. Such movements aim to provide the advantages of quartz without the inconvenience and environmental impact of ...
In 1968, Seiko introduced three ten beat (ten ticks per second) calibers, the automatic caliber 61GS, the manual winding 45GS [46] and 19GS [47] for women's watch. The 61GS was Japan's first automatic ten beat watch, and it was the most accurate mechanical watch due to the high beat calibers. [ 48 ]
Video of the rotor turning in an automatic wristwatch having a glass back, when the watch is moved by hand. An automatic watch, also known as a self-winding watch or simply an automatic, is a mechanical watch where the natural motion of the wearer provides energy to wind the mainspring, making manual winding unnecessary if worn enough.

The Spring Drive uses a conventional mainspring [3] and barrel [4] along with automatic and/or stem winding to store energy, just as in a mechanical watch. [3] However, the escapement and balance wheel in mechanical watches is replaced by Seiko's Tri-synchro Regulator system, a phase-locked loop wherein a rotor, which Seiko refers to as a "glide wheel", is powered by the mainspring barrel via ...
Ask 100 watch guys for a recommendation for a sub-$1K dive watch, and there’s a healthy chance that 99 of them will recommend a Seiko. (And that the last one will be underwater and unable to ...
In 1969, the watch companies Heuer, Breitling, Hamilton, and movement specialist Dubois Dépraz, developed the first automatic chronograph in partnership. They developed this technology secretly in an effort to prevent other watchmaking houses from releasing an automatic chronograph first, namely their competition Zenith and Seiko.
