Seiko has emphasized that the video quality is less important than the story, so don't let equipment be a barrier here. This watch is worth a try!By Paul Hubbard

TweetEmailWe previously wrote about Seiko's innovativeSpring Drive watches,and I'm personally a big fan of theirMarinemaster Spring Drive diver.At the annual Baselworld conference, Seiko announced the long-awaitedSpring Drive chronograph. Unfortunately, it's a 300-piece limited edition, with an exclusive price of�5,500 (about $7,500).There's a lot to like about the Seiko Spring Drive Chronograph and its design,including:Glide motion movement, meaning all hands move completely smoothly, not in "ticks". Titanium case and bracelet.GMT (24-hour) hand.12-hour chronograph (the only glide motion chronograph in the world).72-hour power reserve indicator.Date.See-through sapphire caseback.Deployment clasp with push-button release.Water-resistant to 10 meters, or about 30 feet. I've always liked the idea of the Spring Drive movement — primarily for its superior accuracy, and its completely smooth motion — and now that it has been enhanced with a glide-motion chronograph, I'm extremely intrigued. Hopefully, this technology will move out of the realm of the limited edition and into the mainstream very soon. By Paul Hubbard
