Seiko´s NH Series

The NH-Series movements, including the widely recognized NH35, are a testament to Seiko's engineering prowess in the realm of watchmaking. Manufactured by Seiko Instruments Inc., these movements are esteemed for their reliability, durability, and accuracy, making them a favored choice among watch enthusiasts and manufacturers alike.

The NH35 movement, in particular, holds a special place in the watchmaking industry. It is essentially the export version of the 4R35 movement, which is found exclusively in Seiko branded watches. The primary distinction between the NH35 and the 4R35 is branding: the NH35 is unbranded and made available to third-party manufacturers or "microbrands," allowing a wider range of watch companies to incorporate this reliable movement into their designs. In contrast, the 4R35 bears Seiko's branding and is reserved for use within Seiko's own collections.

Despite this difference, the quality and manufacturing standards of the NH35 and 4R35 movements are identical. Both are produced by Seiko, ensuring a level of quality that benefits from Seiko's long-standing experience and reputation in the watchmaking industry. These movements are known for their precision mechanical engineering, featuring automatic winding, the ability to be hand-wound, a date function, and a stop-seconds feature for precise time setting.

The NH35 and 4R35 movements boast a 41-hour power reserve, 24 jewels, and a vibration frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz), highlighting their efficiency and robust performance. Their widespread use across a variety of watch brands and models speaks volumes about their versatility and the trust that manufacturers and consumers place in Seiko's craftsmanship.

Wwhether it's the NH35 or the 4R35, the quality level remains consistent, reflecting Seiko's commitment to excellence. This uniformity in manufacturing excellence ensures that regardless of branding, watch enthusiasts can enjoy the reliability and precision that have become synonymous with Seiko's movements.
