No Alan, that one is neither manually wound, nor self-winding (though I do have a self-winding Seiko that I bought in Viet Nam in 1970). It has a battery. Very accurate. It's a modern version of a the Hamilton Boulton which was made back in the 30s and 40s.
This one, however, must be wound.
It's my father's, circa 1955, Hamilton Stafford, which though not as accurate as my battery powered Boulton, runs beautifully, and keeps pretty good time for an old watch. It gives me great pleasure to wear it. Every 3 or 4 years I send it to a fellow in California who lovingly services it. The band is the one that was on the watch when Dad died in 1969. Speidel still makes that model band, and I can get extra links for it when I need them.
I wish I had the original band, though.
