Common watch battery for larger movements

The 371 battery is a 1.55V silver oxide button cell used in many Seiko, Citizen, Rotary and chronograph watches. It is also sold as SR920SW — they are exactly the same battery. Larger than the more common 377 (SR626SW), the 371 is typically found in watches with more complex or larger movements.

Is 371 the same as SR920SW?

Yes — 371 and SR920SW are exactly the same battery. The number 371 is the trade name used by brands like Renata, Energizer, Varta and Sony. SR920SW is the IEC technical standard code for the same cell. You will find both names on packaging and batteries — either is a direct replacement for the other.

What is the difference between 371 and 377?

371 and 377 are different sizes — they are not interchangeable. The 371 (SR920SW) is 9.5mm in diameter. The 377 (SR626SW) is smaller at 6.8mm in diameter. The 377 is the more common battery for standard analog quartz watches. Always check the battery inside your watch for the exact code before purchasing.

Always use silver oxide (371 / SR920SW) in watches — not alkaline (LR920 / AG6). Although they are the same physical size, alkaline batteries have a declining voltage curve meaning your watch will run slower as the battery drains. Silver oxide maintains a steady 1.55V until nearly depleted, giving accurate timekeeping and longer battery life.
