The SEIKO Spring Drive Moon Phase



SEIKO Spring Drive was twenty eight years in the making, but in just its first year on the market, it has created a remarkable impact, recognised by connoisseurs and consumers alike as one of the most important developments in watch technology for decades. The "quiet revolution" of Spring Drive is underway.
For 2006, the international Spring Drive collection has been expanded to include two new calibers, expressed in three new references, and bringing the size of the total collection to nine watches. These additions provide a new vision of the 'circle' design concept that characterises the whole collection and yet maintain their own individual appeal.


In another graceful expression of the natural and continuous motion of time, the silver color moon-shaped plate on the blue mother of pearl disc creates the serene and refined appeal of this elegant new timepiece, marking the continuous progress of the moon across the night sky.


Not only the dial conveys the magical imagery of the moon. The movement itself is engraved to complete the harmony of the complete design, with the bridge and rotor portraying the fan-shaped pattern of moonlight radiating out from the glide wheel. The true and universal nature of time is thus represented in every part of the watch.


It is offered as a limited edition of just 200, with the individual number engraved on the movement, visible through the sapphire case back.
