Watches with self-winding movement are one of the most popular models in our store. Unlike common quartz watches, those models do not require change of battery, that is why they are highly appreciated by some people.
Owning an automatic watch is considered prestigious - the complexity of the movement is tantamount to great effort that was put into the creation of it. It always takes a lot of time to make such a movement. This effort is clearly visible in high quality and reliability of the watch.
Watches with self-winding movement are considered to be the most authentic devices. They work similarly to mechanical watches - the mainspring stores energy which is later transferred through the movement gears. This makes the hands turn on the dial. Contrary to mechanical watches, automatic ones do not need any manual winding. All they need is the motion of the watch wearer's arm (for example during walking.) When fully wound, most automatic watches can run for around 40 hours. Due to the fact that automatic watches are generally not as precise as quartz ones, manufactures use jewels to increase movement accuracy.
It is generally agreed that automatic movements most likely can be found in elegant watches. Those models are a synonym of prestige and luxury. They are made specially for tough-minded, uncompromising people who value the highest quality. Self-winding movements are also installed in watches designated for difficult conditions, like deep diving or extreme expeditions.
In our store you can find a wide range of automatic watches. Many of them come from Switzerland, in which the quality is proven by “Swiss Made” label. The most famous brands you can find on our website are Adriatica, Atlantic, Doxa, and Aviator. The last one is particularly interesting - designs were consulted with professional pilots in order to create original and durable watches.
Automatic movements can be found in brands like Citizen, Seiko, Orient, and Orient Star. We should pay attention to Seiko watches, especially to Grand and Prospex series, in which Spring Drive movement is used. Due to very advanced technology, power reserve in those models is up to 72 hours.
In our offer you can also find some Russian brands like Vostok and Szturmanskie - both elegant models and complex watches made specially for extreme conditions. In Watchard store there are also German products - Junkers and Zeppelin, which are known for unusual and fashionable designs.
