Seiko's efforts to combine the quartz and mechanical moves bore fruit after 20 years of studies, main to the introduction of the Seiko Spring Drive, first in a limited home market manufacturing in 1999 and to the sector in September 2005. The Spring Drive maintains time inside quartz requirements with out the usage of a battery, using a traditional mechanical tools teach powered via a spring, with out the want for a stability wheel both.

In 2010, Miyota (Citizen Watch) of Japan added a newly evolved movement that uses a 3-pronged quartz crystal that became solely produced for Bulova to be used in the Precisionist or Accutron II line, a new form of quartz watch with extremely-excessive frequency (262.144 kHz) which is alleged to be accurate to +/− 10 seconds a yr and has a easy sweeping second hand in place of one which jumps every second.
