+ | |||
+ | **6R15** is one of a family of modern [[automatic]] upper-midrange watch movements from [[Seiko]]. The 6R15 is also sold as the **NE15A**. A "high beat" derivative with a [[chronograph]] module is also available, called the [[Seiko 8R28]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Overview ===== | ||
+ | The **6R15** family was introduced in [[2006]] as a higher-spec derivative of the familiar [[Seiko 7S26]]. It was intended to replace the expensive "high beat" [[King Seiko]]-derived [[Seiko 4S15|4S15]] in mainstream watches, allowing that family to be used exclusively in more expensive models. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The 6R is an [[automatic]] movement which adds [[hacking]] and [[hand winding]] to the existing 7S26 base. This is the main difference between the movements. The winding works now include two separate pinions on the bottom plate to add hand winding. It also features a hacking mechanism and pinned balance spring for adjustability. Thanks to a [[Spron]] 510 mainspring, the 6R15 boasts 50 hour power reserve, and the faster-beating 6R2x series has a 45 hour power reserve. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The 6R20 differs from the base 6R15 in many ways. It beats at 28,800 vph and features a power reserve indicator and both day and date in a window. The derived 6R21 and 6R24 also beat at 28,800 and have power reserve indicators but add day and date on subdials (sweep for the 6R21 and retrograde for the 6R24). | ||
+ | |||
+ | As of 2018, the 6R15 is used in the [[Seiko Prospex]] SBD series of watches, which start at $600, as well as the higher-end Prospex and [[Seiko Presage|Presage]] SPB and [[Seiko Core]] SDG. | ||
