Seiko Solar Watch
The watch company Seiko creates miracles. It presents a watch Solar Pilot Chronograph ref. SSC009-1, running on solar energy. Thus Seiko supports an international environmental company "Clean Energy - clear thinking."
Inside the watch Seiko Solar Pilot Chronograph ref. SSC009-1 is installed a quartz movement, which is fed by the battery, accumulated its energy from simple sunlight. The watch is created in accordance with the latest "green" technologies.
The dream of ecologists is embodied by a quartz mechanism and its revolutionary V172 batteries. At full capacity, this amazing solar wristwatch can operate as much as half of the year, being in completes darkness (i.e, without additional charge). Working on only solar energy the watch has features of split-chronograph, charge indicator and even alarm. Split-chronograph of the model measures the time to 1 / 5 seconds accuracy!
The Seiko Solar Pilot Chronograph ref. SSC009-1 watch looks quite normally and does not resemble the solar-powered cars in the form of boxes, clued with light-absorbing elements. The watch has a 43-millimeter stainless steel case, black bezel with a rotating slide layout, black dial with chronograph counters, alarm (the "6 o’clock position") and the date aperture ( the "3 o’clock"). It is delivered on a steel bracelet. In general, unlike many "green works" the new watch does not create a miserable experience.
Slide ruler on the rotating bezel will help a pilot in computing – because of it the watch is called Pilot Chronograph. The dial is protected by glass crystal Hardlex. The water-resistant of Seiko Solar Pilot Chronograph ref. SSC009-1 is up to 100 meters.
By the way the usage of solar energy in help to the pilots is not new for the watch company Seiko. Recently, with the support of the glider icare 2 was created, running on solar energy .The pilot Klaus Ohlmann made a new world record, breaking the 439 miles above the Alpes Maritimes in southern France. The aircraft has a 25-foot wingspan, which are covered by special solar elements. In partnership with the watch company Seiko the glider is built by a team of Stuttgart Institut fur Flugzeugbau.
