The company Seiko presents another ''revolutionary'' novelty: new watch Seiko Astron GPS Solar

After the success of the first collection Astron, Seiko Watch Corporation introduced a special series of watches, which includes six new models Astron. Design of these new watches was inspired by the grandeur and importance of the stratosphere over the planet Earth. I do not know whether there is immediately obvious at first glance that these models are devoted to the stratosphere, only watch lovers can judge, but the company's designers and craftsmen have tried to convey it by using the powerful convex sapphire glass, which resembles a round shape of our planet and, accordingly, the stratosphere surrounding our planet.

Before the creation of new Astron watches, no watch could automatically adjust to different time zones. However, thanks to the creation of GPS module with low energy consumption, Astron watches can automatically adjust to 39 time zones around the world, using solar energy. Just one click, watch Seiko Astron receive the signal from four or more satellites GPS, to automatically detect your location and set the correct local date and time anywhere in the world.

Seiko Astron GPS Solar watch is a real revolution in watchmaking, and their creation has become as important event as the creation of the first quartz watch in 1969, again by Seiko. Seiko is some kind of innovator in the watch industry!

So, now let’s back to the stratosphere. Imagine our mother planet from space: blue ball freely and gracefully floating on his invisible orbit. This idea inspired the masters of the company Seiko for creation of new Seiko watches with new design. To achieve the "effect of the stratosphere" was used domed sapphire crystal, hardness of which is second after diamond. To make the dome-shaped sapphire glass requires about 10 hours of polishing.
The design of anthracite dial is also made in the space theme: the globe is depicted on it, if you look at it from the North Pole. Codes of the main cities in the world are located throughout the bezel.

Case of the Seiko Astron GPS Solar watch is made of stainless steel, its diameter is 48.10 mm. Water resistance is up to 100 meters.
Functions: hours, minutes, seconds, date, perpetual calendar, world time.
Seiko Astron GPS Solar watches come with rubber strap, which is equipped with a reliable safety clasp.
