The new creations are all made with titanium and feature a faceted construction.
In 2012, Seiko took electronic watchmaking to a new level with the Astron GPS Solar, which
connects to the Global Positioning System (GPS) and adjusts to every time zone* while
generating all the energy it needs from light alone. Today, the Seiko Astron GPS Solar
collection adds four new watches that feature a dynamic and robust design.
This new series includes three watches that will join the main Astron collection, with dials in
blue, grey, and black, and a limited-edition watch with a unique, horizontally-striped design.
All four watches will be available at select retailers nationwide in Summer 2023.
*If there are changes in the region / time zone / DST, manual selection may be required.
The new series has a dynamic presence thanks to the dimensional case and the faceted bezel
with hairline finishing on top, which contrasts with the polished sides. The case lines flow
seamlessly through the lugs to an integrated bracelet that has a sharp design that matches the
angular case to give the watches a refined appearance. This bracelet tapers neatly toward the
clasp, reinforcing its harmonious and graceful look. The titanium case and bracelet have a
scratch-resistant super-hard coating, and thanks to titanium’s light weight and the case’s low
center of gravity, the watches sit comfortably on the wrist.
The hour and minute hands of all the watches are filled with Lumibrite to enhance legibility
in low-light conditions as seen on the creation with a case and bracelet in black.
Each of the new watches is powered by a new GPS Solar movement, Caliber 3X62, whose
enhanced reception of solar signals allowed for greater freedom in design. The watch connects
automatically up to twice a day** to the GPS network to maintain its precision of one second
every 100,000 years.
**When the dial detects sunlight, the watch connects to the GPS satellite network and adjusts automatically
to the correct time. If the watch is hidden from light, it remembers the time of its last successful
manual connection and attempts to receive the GPS signal again at that same time.
