A standard time display is positioned in the center of the module (#10) and this could be driven by a mechanical or quartz movement, as the moon phase mechanism is designed as an independent module.
The full patent application (JP 2026-103120A) was filed by Seiko Watch Corporation and published on June 24, 2026. The inventor listed on the patent is Yuichi Mori (森 裕) who has previously been listed as the inventor responsible for another moon phase patent application that was filed back in 2020. This was an interesting design that has never been brought to market, but does show his interest in this complication.
