It's from the Seiko "Premier" line, they are kinetic direct drive watches. Meaning they use a combination of quartz and automatic movements. The complication on the left is the power reserve, and I can definatly feel the winder moving when I move the watch, even more so than my Breitling SO, so it is driven from movement, but power from the movement is feed into a quart movement. The second hand 'ticks' like a quartz, it doesn't sweep like a good auto. I am rambling a bit due to not yet knowing a lot about this movement. It has an incredibly high quality leather band and clasp. The only other watch I have with a leather band is a Lum-Tec and I switch bands regularly, and this one feels better. It also has a Sapphire crystal, which is a must for me.

So far I like it even thought it is a lot dressy-er than any other watch I own, which I think was my wife's intention...
