This Seiko Dolce may look rough on the outside, but inside it holds a fascinating piece of watchmaking history, the Seiko’s 5S21 quartz movement—a rare attempt to bring sweeping seconds to quartz technology. In this video, we explore how Seiko engineered a smooth, battery-efficient sweep using a viscous damping system.
