====== Seiko 8R28 ======
Calibre **8R28** is one of a family of [[column wheel]] [[chronograph]] movements from [[Seiko]]. Derived from the [[Seiko 6R15|6R family]], this **8R** family also includes the **8R39**.

The **8R** chronograph family was introduced in [[2008]] to power Seiko's [[Seiko Velatura|Velatura]] 2-register [[chronograph]]s. It is closely related to the [[Seiko 6R15|6R20]], sharing that calibre's balance, winding, and works, and runs at the same 28,800 vph. The chronograph portion is a module added above the top plate. The 8R39 is identical in specification to the 8R28 but features a [[Spron]] 610 balance spring and [[Seiko 9S55|9S "Grand Seiko"]] escapement.

One unique feature of the chronograph is a three-pointed hammer, allowing all three chronograph hands to instantly reset together. This operates on three separate [[vertical clutch]]es, as each chronograph hand is individually driven. The date also has an instant change mechanism.
