Quartz movement

the electrical energy of the battery makes the quartz at the interior of the movement oscillate 32,768 times per second. This high frequency gives great accuracy. The battery is type Renata 371 (SR 920 SW). Automatic movement: the mechanism of the watch includes an oscillating rotor (28,800 alternations per hour / 4Hz) that winds the mainspring via the movement of your wrist. If necessary, the watch may be rewound manually. The beauty of the inner workings of the watch movement can be admired through the transparent case back.  Used batteries and watch components should not be thrown away in household rubbish but should be properly recycled. It is recommended that you bring them to your retailer.
