Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay Arctura 5J22-0A90 | Japan Seller Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay Arctura 5J22-0A90 Product Overview This is a Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay Arctura (Ref. 5J22-0A90), designed by renowned German designer Jörg Hysek. Produced in Japan in the late 1990s to early 2000s, it features a distinctive asymmetrical case design and represents a discontinued and rare model in the Arctura series. The Seiko Kinetic system is a hybrid mechanism that generates electric energy through a rotor that spins with wrist movement. The energy is stored in a capacitor (secondary battery), which powers the quartz circuit. The 5J22 Auto Relay movement includes a sleep mode that conserves energy when not in use—restarting the hands instantly when motion is detected.
