Fun Facts:

Seiko marketing defined SUS as:  Simple United with Strong

In 1998, the suggested retail price for this watch was: 

32,000 yen, or about $290 USD, at the time.

Easily over $500 now. 

Seiko Kinetic watches are like a cross between an

automatic and a quartz watch. Kinetics have a 

revolving weight like an automatic. But instead of

winding a spring, the weight generates electricity and

charges a capacitor. The power reserve should last 3 to 6 months, 

and the capacitor should not need to be changed for years. 

Note that the Kinetics need to be worn regularily, 

otherwise the capacitor wears out.
