The AUTOMATIC POWER GENERATOR
Arm movement is the energy source which sets the oscillating weight in motion. This, in turn, causes the rotor to spin even faster than an F1 racing car engine. The result is an electric current which is produced by the coil. This is stored by the capacitor, which supplies the circuit block with power to drive the watch as needed.

EL GENERADOR AUTOMATICO DE ENERGIA
El movimiento del brazo es la fuente de energía que pone el peso oscilador en movimiento. Este, a su vez, hace que el rotor gire aun más rápidamente que un motor de un coche de carreras F1. El resultado es una corriente eléctrica producida por la bobina. Esta se almacena mediante el condensador, el cual suministra energía al bloque de circuito para excitar el reloj como sea necesario.

SEIKO KINETIC®
Cal. 3M22, 5M42, 5M43
FEATURES
The SEIKO KINETIC® Cal. 3M22/5M42/5M43 is an analogue watch featuring an Automatic Power Generator newly developed by SEIKO. It generates the electrical energy to power the watch, utilizing the movement of the arm, and stores it in a capacitor. Therefore, the watch does not use a battery. The watch is also equipped with a power reserve indicator and an energy depletion forewarning function so that its constant operation can be assured.
■ TIME
Indicated by three hands
■ CALENDAR
Cal. 3M22/5M42 : Date is displayed in the calendar frame.
Cal. 5M43 : Date and day of the week are displayed in the calendar frame.
■ AUTOMATIC POWER GENERATOR
The Automatic Power Generator works as you move your arm while wearing the watch, thus generating the electrical energy to power the watch.
8
■ CAPACITOR
The watch is provided with a capacitor to store the electrical energy generated by the Automatic Power Generator.
Cal. 3M22 : When the watch is fully charged, the watch keeps operating for more than 3 days.
Cal. 5M42/5M43 : When the capacitor is fully charged, the watch keeps operating for more than 7 days.
■ POWER RESERVE INDICATOR
The current power reserve of the capacitor is indicated by the second hand at the press of a button.
■ ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
When the energy stored in the capacitor is reduced to an extremely low level, the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals to indicate that the capacitor needs recharging by swinging the watch from side to side.
■ QUICK-START FUNCTION
Even when the watch completely stops operating, swinging it several times can start
the hands moving. For details, see page 19.
■ ROTATING BEZEL
Up to 60 minutes of elapsed time can be shown.
