The second launch of the week for Seiko<\/a>, today, the brand has unveiled its all-new Astron 5X watches! Compact, slim and angular, the new timepieces symbolise Seiko’s spirit of innovation. The Astron was the world\u2019s first GPS solar watch to never need a battery change; powered by light, it automatically adjusts to your time zone through the latest GPS technology.\u00a0Taking this, and including improved features, these watches are technical treats! This exciting launch consists of four new watches themed around ‘Solidity’. With sleek lines and slim profiles, they are sure to stand out in the crowd.\u00a0If the all-new Seiko Astron 5X watches have piqued your interest so far, read on for more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core Features of the All-New Seiko Astron 5X Watches <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The colourway of each watch may vary, but the design features are universal across the entire launch. Under a dual-curved sapphire crystal glass, each model exhibits a textured dial. The increased charging capacity of this calibre allows for this textured dial while maintaining high charging efficiency. In addition to this, each dial features luminous hands and baton indices with four chronograph sub-dials and a date aperture between 4 and 5 o’clock. In a compact and slim design, each watch features a titanium bezel. Ensuring that durability remains at the forefront of the watches, each model also features a titanium case; with a super-hard coating for increased scratch resistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Astron was the world\u2019s first GPS solar watch, so it makes great sense that each watch comes with an array of GPS functions to match this reputation. From a function to prevent the GPS signal reception (in flight mode), to a time transfer function and a satellite acquisition status display function, the watches are perfect for those who are always on the move. Each watch also includes a dual-time function, an automatic hand position alignment function and a perpetual calendar amongst several other features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seiko\u2019s in-house built 5X83 Solar-powered movement powers each timepiece. It inherits the same functions of the 5X53, however, it has the added capability to measure elapsed time through its chronograph features. The chronograph can measure elapsed time up to 1\/20th of a second. Moreover, the movement is accurate to \u00b1 15 seconds per month and has a power reserve of 6 months at full charge. For added convenience, each watch can be charged by any light source. Whether it be through natural sunlight or artificial light, you can remain confident that your watch will never fail you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limited to 1200 pieces, this solar GPS watch celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Seiko name on a watch. Designed to resemble the view of the Earth at night, as seen from a satellite, the patterned black dial features various rose gold-coloured accents. A titanium and rose gold-coloured plated ceramic bezel frames the dial. Ultra-durable and super-stylish, the rose gold-coloured accents complement those on the dial perfectly. Reinforcing the exclusive nature of this timepiece, the case back features the words ‘LIMITED EDITION’ alongside an engraving of the serial number. An allergy-safe titanium bracelet, that fastens with a three-fold clasp, secures the watch on the wrist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under a sapphire crystal glass, within a compact and slim bezel design, is a white-silver dial with a vertical hairline finish. The increased charging capacity of this calibre allows for a textured dial whilst still maintaining high charging efficiency.\u00a0Measuring 42mm in diameter, a titanium case, with a super-hard coating, frames the dial. This case houses the 5X83 solar GPS calibre movement that powers the timepiece. Accurate to \u00b1 15 seconds per month and with a power reserve of 6 months, it will never let you down! A titanium bracelet concludes the design of the watch. Lightweight, and yet extremely durable, it ensures great comfort on the wrist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing upon the theme of ‘Solidity’, this watch showcases a grey dial with a vertical hairline finish. The 42mm titanium case follows a compact and angular design.

Thanks to its crown, this watch is water-resistant up to 100 metres; making it more than suitable for day-to-day wear. Like the models mentioned so far, a titanium bracelet secures the watch on the wrist. Allergy-safe and extremely lightweight, it ensures the watch is suitable for a wide range of people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ‘Infitie Blue’ and beyond! This model symbolises Seiko’s innovative spirit, which has been present since the brand’s beginning in 1881. The blue dial, with a vertical hairline finish, exhibits LumiBrite hands and indices which ensure optimal legibility; even in complete darkness. A 42mm titanium case, with a matching titanium bezel, frames the dial. The case and bezel both feature a super-hard coating, so a durable design is guaranteed. Continuing this theme of durability, and ensuring a cohesive look, a titanium bracelet secures the watch.
