SEIKO 5 SPORTS Automatic made in Japan Black Dial Nylon Strap Watch SNZG15J1 Men's

Product Description
SEIKO 5 - the meaning of the "5" A great marketer had the idea in the 70ies: to be a SEIKO 5; the watch has to have the following 5 (five) attributes (thus the name SEIKO 5): 1. Automatic; 2. Water resistant; 3. Shock resistant; 4. Date; 5. Day. Please note that some SEIKO 5's are in fact SEIKO 4's; if the "Day" function is omitted; then the Caliber 7S25 is used. The only difference to the normally found 7S26 is the omission of the day wheel. Also re-issues of SEIKO 5 Sports often use the 7S36 caliber. Again the 7S36 is similar to the most popular 7S26; yet it features 23 Jewels as opposed to the 21 Jewels in the 7S26. Please note that all these movements beat at a rate of 21'600 bph (beats per hour) or 6 bps (beats per second). As a comparison; an ETA 2824-2 beats at 28'800 bph or 8 bps. A Miyota 82xx beats at 21'600 bph. Why do I mention these three movements? Because they are found in probably 80% of all inexpensive automatic wrist watches. A market share that is huge; yet challenged these days (2006) by an increasing share of inexpensive China Made automatic movements An automatic watch (also called a self-winding watch) is a mechanical watch; typically with a balance wheel escapement; whose mainspring is wound by the motion of the wearer's arm; instead of having to be wound manually every day. Whereas a quartz watch is powered by electricity; a mechanical watch is powered by a mainspring which must be rewound for the watch to keep time.
