Devon Tread1 E Men's Time Belt Microstep Motor Watch

The movement of the Tread 1 is a mesmerizing display of DEVON’s own patented system of interwoven Time Belts that displays hours, minutes and seconds in a way that’s never been seen before . . . . . . . . . Four extremely compact microstep motors drive the movement of the four belts with efficiency, exacting power and steadfast accuracy. The belt assemblies are mounted on a central chassis, which allows for the perfect clearance of the moving parts and also creates the illusion that the parts are floating within the case. Fiberglass-reinforced nylon allows for belts that are only 2/1,000 of an inch thick while being strong and stable enough to ensure continuous accuracy . . . . . . . . . At the heart of the Tread 1 is an onboard microprocessor, essentially a tiny computer, that controls all of the watch’s functions. It gathers data from a temperature-compensated crystal and a proprietary optical recognition system, which continuously monitors and verifies the position of the Time Belts thereby ensuring steadfast accuracy – in fact, the Tread 1 is accurate to within one halfsecond per day . . . . . . . . . Lubricant-free ruby bearings are used at the friction points of the movement, a thoughtful engineering detail which precludes the need for lubrication and significantly reduces required maintenance . . . . . . . . . Power for the Tread 1 is provided by a robust lithium-polymer rechargeable cell that runs for up to two weeks on a single charge. When recharging is required, it is accomplished inductively, without wires, via a charging tower in only a few hours . . . . . . . . . The window into this mechanical masterpiece is a crystal produced from scratch-resistant polycarbonate with bulletproof durability . . . . . . . . . . The five-piece case design is made from 316L, surgical-grade stainless steel, the hardest and most durable steel available in the world. The case is produced in five elements through advanced computer numerical control (CNC) machining.
