Movement and Calibre Technology
The Seiko Astron GPS Solar watch is powered by advanced solar technology, utilizing any light source to maintain its power—eliminating the need for battery replacement. It features the Calibre 5X83, a high-precision movement that integrates GPS technology for global timekeeping. This dual time chronograph movement ensures unbeatable accuracy, maintaining a deviation of just +/-1 second every 100,000 years thanks to its daily automatic time adjustment via GPS satellite signals.
Power Reserve and Battery Performance
This Seiko solar watch offers an impressive power reserve of up to 2 years on a full charge, ensuring long-lasting performance without frequent exposure to light. Since it runs on solar energy, there’s no need for a conventional battery, making it both eco-friendly and convenient for frequent travelers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Case, Band, and Durability
Crafted from lightweight titanium, the case and bracelet of this Seiko GPS watch provide both strength and comfort. The 44.1mm black case and matching black titanium bracelet (Band Reference: M13T111W0) offer a modern and sophisticated appearance. It also features 100 metres water resistance, making it suitable for everyday wear, including swimming and light water sports.
