VERY interesting to read a horologic patent, makes quite a difference for me ;-)
 
The patent was granted back in 1998? Did that movement ever make it into (limited) series production?

Hi Hermann, I don't think it was ever put into production, I'd imagine there must be prototypes lurking somewhere in Seiko's stash though!.

Mhh... that is a pity...
 
I would love to see the watch they planned to put the movement into!
 
Could it be that this specific movement was developed by SII for a third party as contract developer/manufacturer?
 
Best,
Hermann
