A NHXX movement is the beating heart of modified Seiko watches, this page covers a number of the other calibres included within Seiko mods. The calibres (movements) included in this guide are the NH34, NH35 and NH36. Seikomodder.com have used NHXX in places to signify any one of these movements.
These varying calibres came to the market from 2016, the most recent release being the NH34 with the 24-hour, or GMT hand, complication. They are built on the base calibre of the 4R35 which came into production in 2011. It is argued by many that this movement rivals the Swiss movements in lower priced Swiss watches, on durability and accuracy, as well as long term operation.
Seikomodder.com provide further information on each individuals movements operations, but suffice to say, the complications vary and there are options; date, day/date, and 24-hour complications are contained within this guide. All of these movements have complications.
