Mystery inside Seiko Astron watch

Seiko Astron is an automatic solar (solar) watch that adjusts the world's first GPS technology.

The search for the absolute accurate clock in every place on the earth has ended. Through self-inventing a GPS-powered GPS signal receiver, Seiko created a watch that received GPS signals and identified the time zone, time and date using the full GPS satellite network. bridge. This watch pattern identifies 39 time zones on earth. This groundbreaking product is called Seiko Astron. Like the first electronic clock to be honored in 1969, Seiko Astron opened a new era for watchmaking technology. Products are launched in markets around the world in the fall of 2012.

Once a day, Seiko Astron automatically receives time and on-demand signals, connecting up to four or more GPS satellites orbiting the earth. From there, the clock locates the position, determines the time zone and time. The needles automatically adjust to that area's time with the accuracy of the atomic clock. Seiko Astron watches are energized by the sun, so there is no need to replace batteries, and thanks to the century calendar, the calendar is always accurate.

Seiko Astron is not just a watch but a collection. The limited edition version of 2,500 units was introduced with a titanium case and ceramic-rimmed rim. The submerged edge of the case ensures that the watch has the lightest weight possible. Titanium shell is better than stainless steel and weighs only 60%. It is also attached to a silicone strap that is four times more durable than this material before.

In addition, the collection has three more titanium case models and two stainless steel models. All have the same functions and high specifications. The products display the second time zone, mode display board on the aircraft and sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating.

In addition to displaying the second date and time zone, the GPS signal status is displayed by the second hand and the button at 10 o'clock. In just a moment, users will see whether the GPS signal has been received, from how many satellites and whether the daylight saving time mode has been started.

In order to combine Seiko's solar technology with GPS, the company has spent many years researching and developing and has no less than 100 application inventions in hand. The company offers watches with a diameter of just 47mm and weighs 135 grams (with titanium case and strap) with the ability to divide the world into millions of 'squares' and attach each cell a separate time zone.

Seiko Astron is a smart and easy to use watch. When you step out of the plane, just press the button and the watch will automatically adjust to the local time zone. It takes 6 seconds or a little longer to automatically adjust the time and 30 seconds or a little longer to adjust the time zone. This adjustment still happens whether you stand or move.

Seiko Astron's century calendar will be true until February 2000. The convenience of using this watch is also enhanced by Seiko's solar technology, which is powered by light sources and never needs to be replaced. Therefore, as long as you can see the sky, you will know the time of the place.
