Seiko Credor Spring Drive Sonnerie

The sound of the bell resonates with the Japanese cultural heritage and well-maintained traditions.The Seiko watch is based upon the revolutionary Spring Drive movement 7R series that offered glide-motion hands and power reserve of 48 hours. The Seiko watch-makers incorporated the 'sonnerie' mechanism into the Spring Drive movement. The 'sonnerie' mechanism itself is provided with over 40 hours of power reserve due to its own separate barrel. The power reserve is displayed with help of a second indicator positioned at 2 o'clock.The Credor Spring Drive Sonnerie, the iconic Seiko watch, was presented to the horology world at Baselworld exhibition in 2006. The new model became the successful successor of the Seiko Spring Drive, a timepiece created to offer the pure and natural motion of time.With the Credor Spring Drive Sonnerie, the Seiko watch-makers wanted to express the time passage not only by the smooth movement of the hands across the watch's dial but also through the purest sound ever produced by a timepiece.The Seiko Epson elite team of watchmakers created a unique watch provided with innovative features. The Credor Spring Drive Sonnerie marks the time by chiming a softly tinkling 'hanging' bell.
