The movement of a watch is its core, determining its precision and performance. At Franklord Watches, we integrate high-quality, reliable mechanisms to ensure durability and accuracy. One of the key movements we use is the Japanese Miyota 8215 automatic movement, widely recognized for its dependability.
Understanding the Miyota 8215 Movement
The Miyota 8215 is a self-winding automatic movement developed by Miyota, a subsidiary of Citizen Watch Co. Ltd. Since its introduction in the 1970s, this movement has been favored for its reliability and efficiency.
Key Features:
- Automatic & Manual Winding: Powered by wrist motion and allows manual winding for convenience.
- 21 Jewels: Reduces internal friction for smoother operation.
- Power Reserve: Stores energy to run for approximately 42 hours without additional movement.
- Beats Per Hour (BPH): Operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour (6 beats per second), providing a refined second-hand movement.
- Non-Hacking Seconds: The second hand continues moving while adjusting time.
- Accuracy: Typically varies between -20 to +40 seconds per day.
