Revolutionary electrostatic-drive movement introduced in 2020, representing the rebirth of the Accutron brand as independent from Bulova. Features twin electrostatic turbine generators at 5 and 7 o'clock positions that spin via wrist motion to create static electricity, which is stored in a capacitor. A larger electrostatic motor at 10 o'clock drives the continuously sweeping seconds hand. Hour and minute hands use conventional electromagnetic stepper motors. The quartz resonator provides timing accuracy of +/- 5 seconds per month. No traditional battery - powered entirely by kinetic energy. Enters power-saving mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. Manufactured at Miyota facility in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Housed in 45.1mm cases with open-dial design reminiscent of the original Spaceview.
