This approach however did not prevent engineers with equipping this movement with three high-end tech features: a bidirectional winding rotor, a fast change date device and at least <strong>90 hours<\/strong> of power reserve, quite hard to find sometimes even on some very good mechanical movements. Parts are a mixture of synthetic materials, that are easy to be stamped and esthetically customizable and <strong>ARCAP<\/strong>, an alloy of nickel, copper and zinc which features good amagnetic properties and is usually adopted in independent haute horologerie.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Swatch-Sistem51-tre.jpg\" rel=\"prettyPhoto\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Swatch Sistem51 tre\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12825\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horbiter.com\/media\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Swatch-Sistem51-tre.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\" rel=\"prettyPhoto\"><\/a>The movement is fully sealed inside the case and this means you will never need to bring it to your nearest service center to fix it or regulating it (<strong>Swatch<\/strong> claims it gains\/loses +\/- 10 sec per day) especially for, would it happen, you're perhaps going to replace with a new one as it is already with any other <strong>Swatch<\/strong>.

What intrigues me even more is what to expect in the near future, as I do think this caliber is not a stand alone project to fit just a\u00a0<strong>Swatch<\/strong> but rather the new entry-level base caliber of the entire group conceived from the very beginning as a base module for futher developments. Its features, technology, materials set in my mind new scenarios, included it could be adopted by other brands: it is so innovative I think it would not be a scandal to see it encased in a <strong>RADO D-Star<\/strong>'s case for example.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 10px;
