Produced during the transition from traditional watchmaking to quartz in the early 1970s, it uses an electronically regulated balance movement rather than a purely mechanical or quartz system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis example from 1974 features a deep blue dial with bold faceted crystal and is running perfectly. The applied indices and hands shine over the flawless dial. The day wheel is bilingual, displaying both Japanese Kanji and English. It is fitted with a matte finish Alba bracelet, which fits up to an 18cm wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe watch is in very good, unpolished condition. The case shows honest signs of wear here and there while the crystal and dial are flawless.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eSeiko’s Elnix line represents an interesting moment in watchmaking history, when manufacturers experimented with electronic regulation before quartz fully took over.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIntroduced in the early 1970s, the calibre 0703 is an electronically regulated mechanical movement. It uses a transistor circuit and battery to control the balance wheel, improving stability and accuracy compared to traditional purely mechanical watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eUnlike quartz movements that would soon dominate the market, the Elnix still relies on a conventional gear train and balance, making it a rare hybrid between mechanical watchmaking and early electronic technology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Studio Tokei","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54423220748634,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/1532\/2714\/files\/F1731EE1-18BB-4E56-A76A-C95F1FA5DA66.jpg?v=1784221340","url":"https:\/\/studiotokei.com\/products\/seiko-elnix-0703-7050","provider":"Studio Tokei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
