The 4R38 is an automatic movement manufactured by Seiko and belongs to the 4R caliber family. It is based on the 4R35 and retains the core specifications of that workhorse: 21600 vph frequency, 24 jewels, and approximately 41 hours of power reserve, with hacking and hand-winding functionality. The movement adds a day complication to the base 4R35's date feature, distinguishing it within the family. It remains in production and is used in Seiko 5 Sports and other entry-level Seiko models.
