Seiko Ananta Automatic Watch
The new Spring Drive version of the impressive Seiko Ananta watch. If you remember, Ananta is Seiko's first high-end watch designed for the world market. These watches have completely changed my view of the brand, I think if you look at them, they will also change your view of Seiko. Spring Drive watches are not cheap. This is a lot more money than many people can spend on watches - this is important because Seiko is a global "wear" brand. In addition to watches based on the Spring Drive movement, the Ananta series has three different automatic mechanical movements. If you don't know the difference between the Seiko Spring drive and the normal automatic movement, I suggest you check out the above article or search for "Spring Drive" on aBlogtoRead.com. There is no time to enter now. Back to these three "other" Ananta watches, there are automatic chronographs, double retrograde automatic and multi-hand automatic. Each model is very attractive, and the price of the series is much lower than the high-end Spring Drive model.
These watches really help to launch fine work as a luxury brand, and its model is more natural for most Seiko watch owners. Unless you really understand the important appeal of the Spring Drive movement, it is difficult to transfer the price of the Seiko watch you are used to on the Spring Drive Ananta. The value of the automatic and spring drive models is still impressive. I visited a Japanese manufacturer to produce a movement of an automatic Ananta watch. The balance and style of the facility is almost identical to that of high-end manufacturers in Europe. The movement in the automatic collection is hand assembled and carefully tested. It is impossible to find a European watch with this quality and function at the same price. Oh, I should notice that the Seiko automatic movement is produced differently than the Spring Dive movement. I found this very interesting. Although the two are similar in terms of high quality facilities, they are only located in different parts of Japan.Review RICHARD MILLE RM 11-03 FLYBACK CHRONOGRAPH MCLAREN replica Watch
It goes without saying that Seiko makes its own moves. All components of the watch are made by Seiko because they are 100% vertically integrated. This applies even to the manufacture of balancing springs (Seiko's patented SPRON brand) and the growth of their own quartz crystals for their quartz movements (they have special facilities for the synthesis of quartz crystals from "seed" crystals. Then the crystals are harvested from the complex "quartz" “I call it an incubator.” In fact, one of Seiko's only products to be procured is the raw synthetic sapphire crystal, which is then cut, shaped, polished and finished by Seiko for use in their watch crystals. In the era of making high-end goods, let me know that the Seiko Ananta watch is entirely made by Japanese watchmakers. This is a reassuring idea. Japanese company. When I saw my Japanese camera was made in Japan. I feel the same comfort when I'm not making it elsewhere.
The Ananta Automatic watch is the same as the Ananta Spring Drive watch. The case is a bit different, but not much. The "Katana" sides of the case are still specially "blade polished", the case is also 46 mm wide and sapphire crystal (water resistant 100 m). The watch is the same, the hour mark is the fine diamond polishing of the line. All discussions about "blades" or diamond polishing and cutting are not fancy. These watches have some of the best polishing jobs I have ever seen on watches, and the price is in this price range. One difference between Automatics and Spring Drives is the middle part of the case. The Spring Drive model has a column trim, while the Automatics has a smooth polished edge in the middle of the side of the case. Otherwise, the difference lies in the motion and model functions.Hublot BIG BANG SANG BLEU replica Watches price
The first of the three models is the Ananta automatic chronograph. This is probably the most popular of the three models. It has one of the highest quality and most distinctive mechanical chronograph movements on the market. Inside the watch is the Seiko 8R28 automatic movement. This movement is suitable for other fine watches (such as Phoenix Blitz), but almost none of them are listed in the US. One exception is the limited edition 200o Seiko Velatura watch (see SRQ001), which includes the 8R28 movement. Although it came out in 2008, the price is as high as $3,800. So if you want this cool movement, you basically need to use it in this watch (unless you are in Japan!). There are two versions of this work. Black dial and bezel with black crocodile strap, Ananta exquisite metal bracelet with steel bezel (of course steel), and steel frame around the chronograph counter (as opposed to the black dial). The look of the watch is very beautiful and you will like the depth of the dial. The three compax chronograph subarray is a traditional appearance with a diagonally positioned date window between 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock. There are sequins on the sharp samurai sword, and there are bright squares on the collar of the watch flange.
Please note that the chronograph hands are all red. This will prevent you from searching too much with your eyes while reading. This is the same version as the Spring Drive, but the watch has a power reserve indicator and GMT complications. The 8R28 12-hour chronograph is great. The easy-to-press large pusher features two position functions for high precision operation. Press the button down to go to the "ready" position, then push them all the way down and start the chronograph immediately, with no lag. It is similar to how you operate the shutter button on most digital cameras.
In addition to beautifully decorated, hand-assembled and tested, the 8R28 automatic mechanical movement has some neat features and a cool polished black samurai-style exposed rotor. The power reserve of the movement is about 45 hours, breaking 28,800 bottles per hour (just like every action I will discuss here). This movement really has a special chronograph. It did it all. This and the Spring Drive chronograph movement have the finest chronograph operations I have ever experienced in my watch.swiss BREGUET CLASSIQUE replica Watches
I have already mentioned the "ready, set, run" operation of the chronograph pusher. What should I do? The movement has a column wheel (required for the collector) for the durability of the chronograph mechanism and a vertical clutch for efficient and very fast shifting. In addition, it has a one-piece chronograph reset hammer (which has three points) that can quickly reset the chronograph. These features seem to offer only minor improvements, but they can make a big difference when relying on a feature to achieve precise timing and ease of use. In addition to chronograph performance, I am happy to know that the column wheel and single-piece hammer help make the movement more durable. This is a very good example of Japanese engineering, traditional design aesthetics and the most competitive chronograph.
The next two Ananta Automatic watches are calendar watches. They are very similar, and I don't fully understand why they all exist. They even have the same function. Perhaps Seiko is testing the popularity of the movement or style. The difference lies in the layout of functions and movements. More expensive models display information further through two retrograde dials instead of the traditional dialpad. now it's right. So, you only need to decide which one you like.
This duo is called Ananta Double Retrograde Automatic and Ananta Multi-Hand Automatic. Compared to the sports automatic chronograph or the Spring Drive, this watch has a more conservative and mainstream look. This is the "Your daddy" Ananta watch. This is not a bad thing at all, and it proves that the unique samurai sword theme can also make you softer. These bezels are now polished to black or brushed steel instead of the gauges on the bezel. The dial is black or silver plated, and the watch has a steel bracelet (I like it very much) or a black alligator strap. This is a good time to remind you of steel bracelets and interesting cut and polished steel links with a cute finish. The crocodile belt has a button deployment buckle.

Both watches feature a new Seiko automatic movement. Inside the Double Retrograde Automatic is the Seiko 6R24 movement with a one-week date and date retrograde indicator and a power reserve indicator (about 45 hours of movement). The layout is balanced and symmetrical. It has a fascinating, modern and very Japanese look (eg retrograde dials look like fans). This exquisite watch is beautifully designed. This will become a hot item for Seiko.
The Ananta multi-hand automatic watch is identical, but without a fancy retrograde dial - it is also the new Seiko 6R21 automatic movement. It has a power reserve indicator shaped like a sword, similar to the Spring Drive watch and two traditional dials for date and date indicators. This is a more traditional asymmetrical finish. Indeed, although the watch has the same functionality as the Double Retrograde Model, it looks a lot different visually. For me, it's like a little brother of the Ananta Spring Drive chronograph model. Its price is only about one third. These will be attractive entry-level Ananta watches. They still have a high-quality case, design and an internal precision movement as the top Ananta watch, but the movement is slightly more complicated and more affordable.
As I said in the past, I will repeat myself saying that Seiko has wisely released Ananta watches to the world market for at least two reasons. First of all, these watches are the first Japanese watches on the world market with a true Japanese traditional aesthetic. A large part of it is related to the famous samurai sword and is surrounded by the clever design of this theme. Second, Seiko finally provided the world with a fantastic high-end watch. As of now, Japan still has the highest-end Seiko thing, but I think this situation is slowly changing. Through Ananta, the global market is beginning to try out the quality and performance levels that Seiko can provide, and Europe may be cringing in new competitions in design, sports engineering and, of course, price. The really difficult part is educating consumers about how good these watches actually are. Some retail store experience, such as Macy's, ordinary customers are not educated watch enthusiasts, because the high price of watches makes people bored.Zenith 2018 Chronomaster El Primero MR.
