This watch was highly regarded for both its design and reliability. SEIKO 7A28 MovementThe loaded SEIKO 7A28 is the world's first analog quartz chronograph movement.With the technology of the time, it was difficult to operate the chronograph function of a watch with a battery, so in order to accurately mark tenths of a second, the movement was devised in various ways, such as thinning the hands and suppressing vibration.It is a highly valuable movement in the history of wristwatches.Metal is used for the material, which is durable and can be repaired. It is also a movement that has a track record of being adopted by the Royal Air Force due to its high precision and durability.Even today, there are few chronograph watches with a thinner design than this watch, and it is a watch with a very rare design. Watch functionRegarding the chronograph function, the 5/100 second system at 3 o'clock rotates, and the central chronograph hand accumulates the seconds (the numerals on the 5/100 second meter are in increments of 10, but there are 20 graduations. ).Furthermore, the minute accumulator at 9 o'clock can accumulate up to 30 minutes.The normal second hand is at the 6 o'clock position.It is also equipped with a function that the second hand moves every 2 seconds when the battery is nearing the end of its life.There is also a tachymeter around the dial.
