Using the same casing design as the SparrowHawk II from 2011, the Ref. 477 Eco sees the VK63 calibre from Seiko Instruments replaced by the 0S20 from Miyota/Citizen Holdings. The main difference will be the loss of 1/5 s indication on the central chrono hand to the benefit of a 2 year increase in battery life.
