Oakley Automatic/Mechanical watch

Late to the party...

TB1 is a quartz-movement watch with a rechargeable battery (originally a capacitor). "Automatic" strictly refers to self-winding mechanical watches. It bears a resemblance to an automatic because of the mechanism it uses to recharge the battery, but the similarity is only superficial. It's no more an automatic than a solar powered watch is; same principle, just a different method of recharging the battery.
