[. . . ] Driven by a mainspring, this watch delivers the accuracy of a traditional quartz watch thanks to the use of the Spring Drive Mechanism newly developed by SEIKO. SPRING DRIVE MECHANISM q Like a traditional mechanical watch, the mainspring drives the watch. What is new is that it also runs a generator which in turn oscillates a quartz crystal. This regulates the movement of the hands as accurately as a traditional quartz watch. SWEEP-MOVEMENT SECOND HAND q The second hand moves smoothly without steps. POWER RESERVE INDICATOR q It shows the extent to which the mainspring is wound. UP TO 48 HOURS OF CONTINUOUS OPERATION q When the watch is wound fully, it keeps operating for approximately 48 hours. 4 CAUTION q This watch is driven by a mainspring. To ensure constant operation of the watch, be sure to wind it completely before the power reserve indicator points to "0". q If the watch is used in temperatures below 0° C with the power reserve indicator pointing to "1/4" or less, it may stop operating. Therefore, when using the watch in temperatures below 0° C, make sure the watch has sufficient power reserve.
