Why this movement matters
Power reserve
80 hours means you can take the watch off over a weekend and it will usually still be running Monday morning. That is a genuinely useful reserve for a daily wearer, not just a marketing rounding exercise.
Frequency
21,600 beats/hour / 3 Hz is a common modern automatic rate. Higher frequency can improve stability in some conditions, but service access and long-term ownership matter more than Hz alone.
