Abstract
A vibrating element includes first and second pairs of vibrating arms extending in opposite directions from a base. A pair of first suspension arms extends from the base via first connecting parts and are connected to a fixed portion attached to a container for the vibrating element so that the base, the pair of first suspension arms and the fixed portion surround the pair of first vibrating arms. A pair of second suspension arms extends from the base via second connecting parts and are connected to the fixed portion so that the pair of second suspension arms is located outside of the pair of first vibrating arms and the pair of first suspension arms.
