The Seiko Ananta Chronograph has a lot of engineering behind the watch. Ananta is a Sanskrit word that means ‘the infinite’, this watch is part of a collection that expresses Seiko’s dedication to infinite perfection. Katana is the ancient art of sword making, this watch pays homage to this history. The side of the watch case has the distinctive Katana curve, with the case back and lugs being forged from a single piece of steel.
The Ananta uses the now well known Spring Drive technology, arguably the most accurate automatic movement produced today. Seiko uses specifically Caliber 8R28, featuring 28,800 vibrations per hour, 34 jewels, 292 parts, with a power reserve of 45 hours. There is a see through case back to display the rotor and further pays homage to the hand guard on a Katana sword. The case is 46mm, supported by a crocodile strap, with a three fold clasp and push button release. This watch is very well crafted and thought out. Seiko has raised the bar.
Pros - Spring Drive, easy to read, well thought out
Consideration - There might be some sticker “shock” potential to the casual Seiko
owner, watch has a large wrist presence
