Yes, it is still a quartz watch. The oscillator is still a quartz oscillator. However the mechanism which advances the second hand is replaced with onethat does not need to tick.
The kind of quartz watch is no longer a ticking quartz watch, it is a non-ticking quartz watch.
As for the specific wording of the article, I would assume the authoris not fully versed in partsof quartz watches, and does not know that the oscillator which keeps time is different from the stepping motor which moves the hands.
This invention targets only replacing the stepping motor, not the oscillator.
Having to work with this guy makes you legitemately oppressed
Thats exactly the proposition. Eliminate tifking quartz watches in favor of non-ticking quartz watches.
Say goodbye to the quartz watches that do tick replace them with ones that do not tick
Lenin ordered the Red Terror. The main difference between him and Stalin when it comes to willingness to use state violence was the size of the state. His solution to political decent was mass executions. While it was announced as a class war on the bourgeoisie, it began with a massacreof sociallists. In addition to kulaks and white army afficers, it targeted the former bolshenik allies Left Socialists, anarchists, and striking workers. The Red Terror featured the creation of the gulags and concentration camps, hostage taking, and torture.
Note, you can also get a replacement second hand there
The modern version, NH3x (the last digit varies based on features) can be picked up aftermarket for about $50. The NH (which Seiko also calls 4rxx) is a drop in replacement for the 7s26, but includes handwinding and hacking. These ones from Crystal Times (no affiliation) are also regulated so they are more accurate than what comes from the factory.
You will also need to purchase a new crown stem, and you'll probably want a few tools as well.
A seiko service has to go to an authorized seiko service center to get parts these days, but even a basic service can run over $100
Given its a 7s26, unless you want to preserve the authenticity of the watch, its probably better to just replace the movement. its less expensive than having it professionally serviced.
French innovator aims to consign ticking quartz watches to history
The 'ticking' is what is being consigned to history. The article is about an alternative to 'ticking quartz watches', a non-ticking quartz watch

My understanding is that google doesn't report that the review has been made, so developers justset a flag internally. Going to leave a review, then clicking back, should be sufficient
Small? The Appalachians today are the resting skeleton of a mountain range so tall and enduring that the mud and sand that washed off them piled miles high and formed the Catskill mountains. The Appalachians were so mighty that their garbage formed mountains
