Seiko AGS Titanium Scuba "Grey Ghost"

[vegaban]

Automatic Quartz Watches; Introduction:

Japanese company Seiko pioneered the technique which it unveiled at the Baselworld 1986 trade show under the trial name AGM ( Later AGS, Automatic Generating System ). The first such watch was released in Germany in January 1988 and April of the same year in Japan (under the name Auto-Quartz). In 1991 the company introduced the Kinetic brand name.

It works using a rotating pendulum rotor in similar fashion to the rotor in a mechanical automatic watch which is inside and attached to a larger gear which meshes with a very small pinion. It operates on the wrist movement of the wearer and rotates via a 1/100 gearing pinion, transferring energy to a power-generator at high speed to produce an electrical current and charges a capacitor (KESU) which in turn feeds the time circuits.

I'm going to show to you a Siver Ghost from before 1991, still an AGS...

Miam ! Plus j'en vois, plus je suis fan des . Peut-on savoir, par contre combien couterait ce beau jouet ?

Yum ! The more I see them, the more I like them. Nevertheless, how much would cost such a toy ?
