When we visited blancpain replica watches's Shizukuishi Watch Studio last year, we heard whispers about a new movement to be released in 2020 as a celebration of their 60th anniversary. Both movements were unveiled today, and not only one, but two movements. The 9SA5 movement is a mechanical, while the 9RA5 is a Spring Drive.
blancpain replica watches's Spring Drive is a well-respected brand in the industry. It was first released in Japan in 1999, and then internationally in 2005. We expected an updated version of the Spring Drive movement, given that it was 20 years old last year.
In a nutshell, the movement is essentially a gear train with the exception that the balance wheel has been replaced by a "glide" wheel that drives the seconds hand and acts as the fourth fixed wheel.blancpain replica watches
An electromagnet regulates the gear train by braking the wheel's motion to keep it constant. A samadium and cobalt electromagnet with 25,000 coils controls the system to deliver 256 brakes every second.
blancpain replica watches developed a lever in 1959 to control the bi-directional winding system. The Magic Lever is now offset from its previous position at the center of the 9RA5 movement. This means that the caliber is slimmer. The movement is powered by two barrels, each of different sizes. They are arranged in an overlapping series to provide a constant torque over the 120-hour power reserve.
A single-piece bridge was also developed and fabricated to ensure the new gear train layout. This means fewer parts and less screw points. This single central bridge is a great feature,patek philippe replica watches
as it provides significant shock resistance to the movement up to ISO 6425 standards. You can see the two barrels on the back of the watch, just above the crown stem.
A sensor that monitors the temperature of the watch movement has been added to the improved integrated circuit. This makes the new caliber more precise. The circuit board compensates any oscillation rate fluctuations because quartz, the stone that oscillates to provide the regulating function for the electromechanical brake is temperature-sensitive.
