Grand Seiko Mechanisms
Powered by the mainspring, Grand Seiko Spring Drive watches are relatively like other mechanical watches, except that it has no need for a battery or other power sources. Wind this watch by turning the crown or by moving your wrist. Energy is stored and transferred to the internal gears, which moves the watch hands as the spring unwinds over time.
The Spring Drive utilizes an exclusive speed control mechanism, incorporating electronic brake, an IC, and a quartz crystal. Using a tri-synchro regulator, the Spring Drive is controlled to adjust the speed of the mainspring as it unwinds. This regulation harmonizes the force at which the spring mechanism unwinds, making the second hand of the watch as precise as possible.
