You get the day/date on the quartz version which I got.... I know, I know quartz. But the 7c46 quartz movement in the Tunacan's is basically bomb proof, and one of the most accurate movements on the planet. And it is 100% metal.

You can get Springdrive and Automatic Tuna's but they run $2000 for auto, and $3500 for the Springdrive, which is the only watch not on the Grand Seiko label you can get in in. I will get the Springdrive one day though. When I have 3k to burn. I have seen a Grand Seiko Springdrive titanium diver in the flesh, and the movement almost looks computer generated it is so smooth.



When you see the cutaway of the movement, you can see why Springdrive watches start at 3 grand, and top out at around 10k.
