Solar huh? I wonder if this is any indication of seiko's and their future choice for recharging batteries?

I would not be surprised if they are making a very quiet but definite move away from quartz-kinetic technology. They know that the only way to restore lost ground to Citizen's Eco-Drive is to counter-attack with quartz-solar movements. I still think Citizen has a clear lead in solar technology and Seiko has some significant catching up to do.


In the end, I am glad to see Seiko moving away from Kinetics and reason #1 when it comes to purely quartz, Seiko doesn't even enter my radar screen.

The movement in this solar diver has posted accuracy of -/+ 20 secs per month. Kind of on the mediocre side.

How this Seiko solar diver compare against a Citizen Eco-Zilla?

Higuchi states these (along with some new spirits, GS's, and some ladies pieces) will be in his possession Apr 21st for sale. The big river in Japan has listed for $275 USD
