====== Seiko 7R ====== The **7R** family of [[Seiko]] calibres use the company's [[Spring Drive]] technology. ===== Overview ===== The 7R family includes the high-end 7R68 Spring Drive movement as well as the elite [[Seiko Credor]] [[grande complication]] movements. The **7R68** is a Spring Drive movement with [[power reserve indicator]], 48 hour power reserve, and hour, minute, and second sweep hands and a date window. It contains 30 jewels. The Credor Sonnerie and Minute Repeater are hand built at Seiko's Micro Artist Studio at Shiojiri. The **7R06** was used in the [[2006]] [[Seiko Credor Spring Drive Sonnerie]] (GBLQ998). Only 5 examples were produced. Complications include [[sonnerie]] and [[power reserve indicator]]. A standard crown is found at 3 00 with a button at 8 00 setting hour chime or silence, as indicated on the rear at 6 00. There are 617 parts to the movement, 88 jewels, and a dedicated sonnerie [[barrel]]. The sonnerie performs an hourly strike or a strike every three hours.
