Notes:The same as cal. 8305 but with day display (as well as date). Unusually, the date is quickset in both directions, and the day is set by repeatedly moving the hour hand backwards and forwards past midnight. The automatic winding mechanism does not use Seiko's famous "magic lever" system – instead it has an integrated wheel system, making the movement slimmer.
