Wordy - is that seiko premier a kinetic drive? i see the little rating thing on the 9-12 o'clock side, which is typical of seiko kinetics. usually seiko will have kinetics somewhere on the facedial, but it just says automatic...so maybe it's just the reserve power from the automatic winder? you tell me
The movement on this watch is SEIKO's 6R20 automatic, it is not kinetic. As you look at the back you will notice the mainspring is wound by an oscillatingweight. Most Seiko Kinetics/quartz have a tiny generator driven by an oscillating weight. But yes, has a 45 hrs power reserve.

have you also looked into other brands in the same price range? you can get some really beautiful nardins or audemars at that price range (gently used, or course), i tend to favor the artistry of those over the more conservative iwc's...if i want conservative it'll be a patek for a dress watch and mid-range for everything else.
