Seiko Automatic Watches

Practically everyone possesses a time piece of some kind. There are genuinely tens of thousands of different models available on the market today. Without watches the world would be a very different place. Most are powered in a variety of ways. Most commonly with a battery and a quartz timing mechanism, but also by solar (for digital) or manual wind. The oldest type available is the 'automatic'. Automatic movements are not truly automatic in themselves. The automatic actually means that they wind automatically when you move the watch, usually by moving your arm. Although automatic movements are relatively old technology they are still in use today, even though in modern versions. Good movements tend to be very precise and are used in some of the world's most expensive and high quality models.
