Seiko Watches Releases New "spring Drive" Collection-Luxury Watches

Seiko Watches progresses watch making forefront to a new level with its Spring Drive collection. These limited availability watches feature a new mechanical movement designed specifically for this collection and although a Spring is present in almost all mechanical watches developed in the past 3 centuries, Seiko have remastered the technology by not on the industry standard theory of mechanical escapement to record time.


Mechanical escapement is known for causing a myriad of problems ranging from inaccuracy due to wear of hairsprings and balance wheels, maintenance issues and also size and weight issues.

Seiko Watches latest innovation is based around a specially designed alloy known as Spron 510. This corrosion resistance metal winds into a barrel,
this part of the watch provides energy for the auto winding system. The auto winding system used in the Spring Drive watches is also unique in that it contains Seiko's "magic lever" winding system. Which simplistically reduces the amount of parts to increase reliability and reduce maintenances.

Seiko further increases the reliability of it's Spring Drive watches by smoothing all components used within the movements to reduce friction to a minimum between parts in the movement and therefore reduce the risk of damage.

Finally the Spring Drive provides a huge power reserve, with our tests showing 72 hours of power being generated from the auto winding spring. This is over 30 hours more than the average automatic or mechanical watch used in our other tests.

The Seiko Watches - Spring Drive collection is available from a limited number of outlets. To find a stockist visit the website below for a list of official stockist that carry the collection.
