The Seiko Elnix is an interesting genre of watch and interesting technology for its day. This is a fundamentally a mechanical movement all be it powered by a battery instead of a mainspring. The watch gets its regulation from a conventional balance wheel so there is no quartz in sight just a small circuit board to power the coil which is sandwiched between the two wheels that make up the balance wheel that have magnets on them polar opposite to the coil. The interesting thing is the whole thing runs backwards in that the balance powers the pallet fork to the escape wheel to drive the train of wheels. As a hobbyist repairer like me I find these fascinating and have made a video on restoring one of these here:
The cool thing is you get a mechanical ticking noise from the watch and like an automatic you get a nice smooth tick. The advantage at the time was due to it having a battery you can take it off for a week and come back and it’s still telling the time!
I have stripped this one down and inspected it all before cleaning and servicing the movement. It’s now fully regulated and keeping superb time, take a look at the video on the timegrapher.
Watch has had a new glass and gaskets to the glass, case back and crown. I have fitted a new fine mesh strap with safety clasp which I think suits the watch really well.

Let customers speak for us
from 15 reviewsThe T-shirt was perfect and love your stuff on YouTube!

Ultimately, there's not much to say.
The watch matches the description exactly and is in perfect condition.
I could have bought it directly from the manufacturer, but now I have a piece of the canal that I love to watch so much to calm down after a long day of work.
Great memory.
All the best, Mike!!!
You are a great person.

I love Seiko Automatic watches and this one is no exception. I have 2 Seiko 6139, a Pepsi and a Pogue, as well as a 6138 Bullhead, each of which I wore for several years until they stopped working. Unfortunately I'm only a mechanic, not a watchmaker. The smallest screws I have to deal with are M2, smaller is ant poop to me. My local watchmaker here in Vienna told me, a service would be at least €600, and others came up with similar prices. When I saw you selling some serviced watches at reasonable prices I just could not resist. Thank you for giving me onother fantastic daily Seiko!

I love the DIY diver options. This was one I did not have. Arrived on time and running excellent. Thank you.

I gave this to my father for his 74th birthday. I got some of my interest in watches from him, and he has a good sense of humor, so I thought he'd appreciate the joke. He loves it and put it on as soon as I gave it to him.

Since getting this comfortable hoodie, I've mostly worn it in my overly-cold office building, where I appreciate its warmth. My co-workers have asked about the diver design, but I tell them it's meant to be mysterious!

This is where I was supposed to put text, but I am just too old to use this itty bitty keyboard on my Dick Tracy communicator device.

The extender worked just big enough for my wrist.

The Hisonic is an awesome watch, I love have something rare with a exciting history. The humming and smooth seconds movement makes me smile everytime I look at it, mostly not for checking time.
I have bought 3 vintage watches here and they are all in a super condition, still having small scratches, as they should have, showing love from previous owners. Buying Vintage watches is a bit like the lottery, as you don't know the service condition or how they run, all sellers claim it runs fine.
But buying here you have this extra assurance, as all vintage watches have been serviced before the are sold, and you can see the watch service craftmanship, by just looking at a few Youtube videos from the seller. The love for watches also shines through by the quick and nice answers you get on your questions related to the particular watch.
So having fair prices on watches that has either been serviced or are almost new, makes this site one of the best places to buy Vintage watches.

Such a beautiful watch and it reminds me of the 1970's every time I check the time !
Meticulously restored and keeps very accurate time . I'm so delighted with it ! Great service and I will be checking out your shop to see what other gems are available . Thanks SO much !

That 1974 Seiko Actus I got was the cats meow. It is much prettier in person than the pictures give it credit. I really learn a lot from watching your channel because of the details and quality of your videos.
Thank you
