Product Description

This is a genuine circuit block electronic module for the Hattori (Seiko Instruments Inc. / TMI) VD78 quartz movement, designed for the VD78 series three‑hand with small seconds compact quartz caliber. The module integrates a quartz oscillator and CMOS integrated circuit, generating a precise 32,768 Hz time base frequency to drive the stepper motor for accurate hour, minute, and small seconds hand movement (small seconds at 6:00).

As an original OEM replacement part, it provides a direct solution for repairing VD78 movement failures caused by water ingress, battery leakage, or aging electronic components.

Key Features & Function

  • Genuine Hattori / SII Part – Japanese factory‑original from Seiko Instruments Inc. (SII) / Hattori / TMI, not a copy, ensuring perfect fit for VD78 movements.

  • High‑Precision Time Base – Integrated 32,768 Hz quartz oscillator provides a stable and reliable time reference.

  • Small Seconds at 6:00 – Features an independent small seconds hand at the 6 o‘clock position, distinguishing it from standard three‑hand movements.

  • Low‑Power CMOS Circuit – With a 377 (SR626SW) battery, typical battery life is 2‑3 years.

  • Cost‑Effective Repair – Replaces only the faulty circuit board instead of the entire movement, offering significant cost savings.

Applications

  • Hattori VD78 quartz movements (commonly found in Seiko, Lorus, Pulsar small‑seconds watches, as well as fashion watches and custom builds).

  • Repair of non‑running movements, inaccurate timekeeping, abnormal seconds hand stepping, or no response after battery replacement.

  • Particularly suitable for failures caused by water ingress, battery leakage corroding the PCB, or aged electronic components.

  • Professional watch workshops, DIY enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this a genuine Hattori / Seiko circuit board?

Yes. It is a Japanese factory‑original part from Seiko Instruments Inc. (SII) / Hattori / TMI for the VD78 movement, not a third‑party copy.

2. Which movement models is this VD78 circuit board primarily compatible with?

This circuit board is specifically designed for the VD78 movement, a 10½‴ quartz caliber with a thickness of 3.45mm, featuring hour, minute, and a small seconds hand at 6 o‘clock. It is commonly used in Seiko, Lorus, Pulsar, and other small‑seconds watches. The VD77 (two‑eye chronograph) and VD79 (two‑eye chronograph) use different circuit boards and are not interchangeable.

3. How can I tell if the circuit board needs replacement?

Symptoms: the movement does not run with a fresh battery; no pulse output detected on a timing machine; abnormal seconds hand stepping (e.g., jumping two seconds or stopping); visible corrosion on the PCB due to moisture or battery leakage.
