First launched in 1966, Bell-Matic is the only mechanical alarm watch that Seiko has produced and it is an exciting part of the brand's history. The watch we offer is a rare reference of the Bell-Matic line, a grey the 4006-6011. It was one of the first automatic watch with an alarm and centre rotor. To increase sales, they reduced the original 27 jewels to 17 to allow it to go through US customs without the premium put on the higher jewelled movements, crazy to think that was a tactic! The 17 Jewel movements continued to be uséd until 1978 when the Bell Matic ceased production. This model has been nato strap for a comfortable fit. The grey linen dial has the day/date feature, baton hands and indexes all nicely finished
Inside the watch, it houses many technological achievements and complications. Day-Date complication, a mechanical driven alarm mechanism, two springs powering the watch's timing function and alarm functions, and an automatic self-winding mechanism for the timing function
