Seiko Velatura Kinetic Direct Drive Pictures Gallery Inspired by technical excellence and tasteful design, Seiko is definitely a name with resonance in the industry of watch manufacturing, being worldwide recognized for the development of the Quartz movement that changed the traditional watch making techniques and also, for its patented Kinetic power mechanism, an amazing technology which activates the inner workings of a watch without requiring batteries. The foundation of Seiko came as bliss for the watch manufacturing tradition that from 1881 was to know one of the fiercest brands of watch making artistry, a brand that wasn’t just interested in selling and developing financially,Louis%20Vuitton (http://www.topreplik.com/fr/replica-%C3%A9charpes-louis-vuitton-c-2143_2244.html), but was also interested in being a pioneering brand, with something to say in the field of activity that it performed. The founding father of Seiko, known by his name of Kintaro Hattori, has put all his trust in this company and has managed to choose carefully his successors as to keep the fire burning, he only chose people who were sharing his own values regarding watch manufacturing and who were able to maintain the highest standards of technical performance and innovative design. Given the fact that they don’t require any batteries, the watches using kinetic power are amongst the top preferences of the watch enthusiasts worldwide. Seiko is one of the famous manufactures of such watches and the collection Seiko Velatura features only watches equipped with kinetic-based movements. The Seiko Velatura Collection was extended in 2007 by the introduction of 11 models who were presenting 4 different kinetic quartz movements. A particular model managed to draw our attention, with its amazing sporty design and its extremely accurate functions. The model goes by the name of Seiko Kinetic Direct Drive Watch and uses a function indicating through a needle the amount of energy accumulated by the movement of the owner’s wrist. The dial and the case are covered with sapphire crystal, a material which was previously treated to be scratch-resistant and anti-reflective. Depending on the version of the model, the new Seiko Kinetic Direct Drive Watch can be available on a stainless steel bracelet or on black leather strap. The watches presented by Seiko under the Seiko Valatura Collection have prices ranging from 1,200 dollars up to 1,500 dollars. The new Seiko Velatura Kinetic Direct Drive Watch features a stainless steel case, accompanied by a black PVD coated stainless steel bezel and also a black dial, with vertical gray lines. The dial displays the main functions of hour, minute and second, a date window located at 6 o’clock and also a function that indicated the days of the week. The open semi-circle from the left side of the dial indicated the amount of energy accumulated due to the mechanism based on kinetic power.
