The Motion Of Time

Seiko's tag line for the SpringDrive is "The Motion Of Time".
You really have to see this second hand in person to understand it.

This is Sam's watch, and he was kind enough to let me borrow it for a little bit. I took it off the bracelet and put it on my leather strap with deployant that I use on my Hamilton.

The second hand can be seen between 8 and 9.

If you're referring to the other small hand on 48, that's the Power Reserve of the watch indicating that there's still 48 hours of power left in the main spring of the watch.

Wow! Stunning! Love the sloped inner bezel! The smooth, clean lines, and, unobtrusive edges make this quite an attractive dress watch!
