| 1972. Seiko released its 3300 series, caliber 3302 and 3303, also known under the name 'Seiko Tradition'. A peculiar watch, equipped with both mechanical contacts and a transistor. The frequency is 3 Hz. The electrical current through the contacts is very small and only needs to steer a transistor. The transistor switches the much larger current to magnetise the coils and give the balance wheel an impulse. | |
