Has anybody got better quality pictures?
Answer:
SEIKO Arctura Kinetic Perpetual The new signature of SEIKO Kinetic
At the 2006 Baselworld exhibition, SEIKO Watch Corporation will unveil a new addition to its Arctura collection, the series that is the signature of SEIKO’s exclusive and unique Kinetic technology. This is a new caliber which combines the ecological and functional advantages of Kinetic with the convenience of a perpetual calendar.
This new caliber, 7D46, is a refinement of the Kinetic perpetual movement that was so successfully launched in 2005. It displays time in both the 12 hour and 24 hour formats and has a large dual-window calendar. In addition the dials at 6 o’clock and 8 o’clock show the month and leap year cycle.

The signature of Kinetic. The classic Arctura design encases the new Kinetic Perpetual caliber.
The true uniqueness of the movement, however, lies in the combination of the perpetual calendar with the auto-relay function which puts the watch into power-save mode if it is not moved for 24 hours. The hands then stop, but the watch maintains perfect time for 4 full years before the hands re-set themselves automatically to the correct time as soon as the watch is moved again. Throughout the power-save period, the calendar hands continue show the correct date.
This new 2006 adaptation of the 7D caliber presents the leap year cycle in a round sub-dial, maintaining the sleek and streamlined design concept of Arctura.
This new caliber is available in three versions, two with steel bracelet and one with a leather strap. Like all Arctura models, this new timepiece is 10 Bar water resistant, and has a sapphire crystal.
