Cal. 6898 is an ultra-thin hand-winding movement with small seconds produced by Seiko for Credor since 2005. Although derived from the 1969 Cal. 68A, Cal. 6898 and other recent movements in the Cal. 68 family (Cal. 6890, 6899, and 6830) are quite different in design and execution. Notably, the balance wheel is moved opposite the winding crown thanks to the round rather than squared-off shape of the movement, and the bridges are redesigned for more graceful appearance.
