Equipped with kinetic movement, Seiko’s Core Day Retrograde Kinetic watch is a lot like its other dress watches: dauphine hands, date window at 3 o’clock, display caseback. But this timepiece also features the addition of a retrograde complication. Positioned roughly between 4 and 7 o’clock, the subdial displays the day of week, with one letter representing each day. When Saturday becomes Sunday, the indicator reverts back to the first “S,” which is colored red to distinguish it from Saturday.
Note: At checkout, you’ll have your choice of four models. This drop is limited to 33 units.
Released by Seiko in the late 1980s, kinetic movements combine the accuracy of a quartz watch with the winding mechanism of an automatic. By simply wearing the watch, you’ll provide the capacitor with power, which is then stored in the battery. Fully charged, a kinetic watch will store up to 6 months of power. To determine the watch’s power reserve, hit the button at the 2 o’clock position—if it skips ahead 30 seconds, it has between 4 and 6 month of power; 20 seconds, it has approximately 1 month; 10 seconds, it has between 7 days and 1 month; 5 seconds, and it has between 1 and 7 days of power reserve.
