A review of Seiko Premier Kinetic Perpetual Calendar SNP001 SNP001P SNP001P1

Seiko Premier Kinetic Perpetual Calendar SNP001 SNP001P SNP001P1

Seiko kinetic Premier SNP001 is an analogue quartz watch equipped with the Kinetic technology developed by Seiko. It generates the electric energy by using the movement of your body to charge the watch. This energy stored in the rechargeable battery which requires no periodical replacement unlike conventional button-type batteries. When the watch senses 24 hours of inactivity it puts itself into suspended animation (sleep mode) to conserve energy. In a sleep mode also the date continues to advance correctly. Wake it up with a few shakes of your wrist and it automatically resets itself to the correct time even if it’s been asleep for up to 4 years.
This watch has a Power save function and time relay function.

In order to conserve the stored electrical energy, the watch automatically enters power save mode to stop the hands from moving approximately 24 hours after the watch is taken off the wrist. When you decide to wear the watch again, simply swinging the watch several times will awaken it and the hands will indicate the correct time to resume normal operation.

Perpetual Calendar Function - Once set, the calendar automatically adjusts for odd and even months including February of leap years. It takes approximately two seconds for the calendar to change its display. However, it may take two minutes if the temperature is low or the stored electrical energy is being depleted. While the watch is in power save mode, the perpetual calendar continues to function. Even if the watch is completely stopped due to a shortage of stored electrical energy, the calendar can be manually adjusted by simple procedures.

Power Save Function - This watch is powered by electrical energy generated and stored by the built-in Kinetic System. The watch also features the “power save function,” which automatically stops the hands from moving when the watch is not in use for a certain period of time to minimize the electrical energy consumption. When the watch is in power save mode, the hands stop moving but the built-in IC continues to calculate the time and calendar. When the watch is in power save mode, swinging the watch several times will activate the “time relay function” which automatically resets the watch hands to the correct time that has been retained inside the watch.

Time Relay Function - When the watch is in power save mode, the hands stop moving but the built-in IC continues to calculate the time. When a certain amount of electrical power is generated, the watch hands are adjusted automatically to the time retained inside the watch. The operable time of the time relay function varies depending on the electrical energy stored inside the watch. In a case that the fully charged watch enters the power save mode, the time relay function of the watch remains operable for approximately four years.

Seiko Sportura Kinetic Chronograph F1 gear SLQ023J1 SLQ023J SLQ023

Seiko has re-engineered the Sportura collection. Familiar elements like black dials, anti-reflective sapphire crystals and red and orange accents remain, but the designs have been refined. The collection includes 9 new creations using quartz and Kinetic calibers.

Seiko Sportura includes the following functions: chronographs of all kinds and sorts, a tachymeter, an alarm, power reserve, and a set of inner functions such as the overcharge preventer. Additionally, the watches were cast of stainless steel with an added durability factor (high-graded), and equipped with an anti-glare sapphire crystals.

Seiko Sportura watches come in trademark quartz and kinetic movements. Seiko kinetic movement propels the hands and the various functions by converting energy from the wearer’s bodily movements. An additional elaboration on the kinetic movement includes a self-regulating mechanism that stops the hands when the watch is left unused for a long period of time, but keeps track of time inside the caliber. When moved again, the watch automatically resets itself to the current time, and continues to run as if nothing happened!

The SLQ023J Limited Edition Sportura Kinetic Chronograph is the ultimate in sports timing. The iconic 4 dial layout of the Kinetic Chronograph 9T caliber is retained, but the construction of the crystal above the dials is new and unique. Beneath the main domed sapphire crystal, each sub-dial has its own and entirely separate crystal in a design that was inspired by the headlight clusters now found on the world’s leading sports cars.

The case is carved from high-grade stainless steel with a black ion-plated ring between the case and glass. The dial surround, like the inset bracelet links, is made of the same carbon fiber as is used in the Honda F1 racing chassis, and the motor sport theme is completed by the see-through sapphire case back which reveals the remarkable Kinetic “engine” that drives the 7-hand movement.

The Caliber of this watch is unique in form and function. Its dial layout is unlike all other chronographs in that the 5 separate dials each convey separate information, with no overlapping hands obscuring the stopwatch function. It uses the unique SEIKO kinetic movement, with instant reset mechanism for high-performance time-keeping. When the watch is fully charged, the watch will keep operating for approximately 1 month. This watch has an energy depletion forewarning function. When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal one second intervals, the watch will run down in approximately 12 hours.

The stopwatch of this watch can measure up to 12 hours, 6 minutes and 12.2 seconds in 1/10 second increments. The measured time is indicated by small stopwatch hands that move independently of the hands for time indication. This watch also has an energy depletion forewarning function. The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals. If the stopwatch continues to be used after the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals, the movement of the stopwatch hands may become unstable immediately before the watch stops completely.
