Automatic watches are made up of about 130 or more parts that work together to tell time. Automatic movements mark the passage of time by a series of gear mechanisms and are wound by the movement of your wrist as you wear it. The gear train then transmits the power to the escapement which distributes the impulses turning the balance wheel. The balance wheel is the time regulating organ of a mechanical watch which vibrates on a spiral hairspring. Lengthening or shortening the balance spring makes the balance wheel go faster or slower to advance or retard the watch. The travel of the balance wheel from one extreme to the other and back again is called oscillation. Lastly automatic movements come in different types including movements that are Swiss-made Japanese-made and more.Also referred to as self-winding watches with automatic movements utilize kinetic energy the swinging of your arm to provide energy to an oscillating rotor to keep the watch ticking. They re considered more satisfying to watch collectors (horologists) because of the engineering artistry that goes into the hundreds of parts that make up the movement. If you do not wear an automatic watch consistently (for about 8 to 12 hours a day) you can keep the watch powered with a watch winder (a great gift for collectors). bull Complications: Classic Three Hand Movement bull Dial: Skeleton Dial bull Hands: Spade-Style HandsDiagrams of Features Features 1) 16K rose gold layered round shaped case with crown at 12 o clock position 2) Protective Krysterna crystal on front and back 3) Skeleton dial with rose tone faceplate and blue spade style hands 4) Brown alligator embossed genuine leather strap with rose tone deployant clasp with buckle 5) Water-resistant to 50 M (165 feet) Specification Binding: Watch Stuhrling Original EAN: 0847988016551 Label: Stuhrling Original Manufacturer: Stuhrling Original Model: 297.334K14 PackageDimensions_Weight: 0.60 pounds PackageDimensions: L:11.60 X W:1.40 X H:0.80 ProductGroup: Watch ProductTypeName: WATCH Publisher: Stuhrling Original ReleaseDate: 2012-04-22 SKU: B007R2HXM2 Studio: Stuhrling Original Title: Stuhrling Original Men's 297.334K14 Special Reserve Roman Emperor Automatic Skeleton Rose Tone Watch
