Watches with automatic movements such as the Rolex Daytona are very popular because the wearer does not have to worry about winding the watch daily to ensure constant operation. A watch would not function without it.Īutomatic movements, also called “self-winding”, harness energy through the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist. The movement drives all timekeeping functions and is essential to keeping accurate time.

This internal mechanism moves the hands and powers any complications such as a chronograph, moonphase or dual time zone. A watch movement, also known as a “calibre”, is the engine of a watch that enables the watch and all its functions operate.
