Seiko Astron GPS Solar watch, black titanium, SSH171J1
Black titanium Seiko Astron GPS Solar watch with a sparkling purple dial and chronograph
The sparkling purple dial makes this Seiko Astron GPS Solar watch easy to recognize. The dial's theme is flowers dancing in the wind as seen from a satellite, and the patterns on the bezel resemble shooting stars. The black titanium case is 42 mm wide, and the strap fits wrist circumferences of 160–210 mm. The two-part bezel combines a ceramic surface with titanium, and the dial is protected by a double-curved sapphire crystal. The indexes and hands are luminous, so you can read the time even in dim light.
The watch receives the time from the GPS network twice a day, and also manually at the push of a button, so the time stays accurate anywhere in the world. The chronograph measures in 1/20-second intervals, and the six o'clock subdial shows the time in a second time zone. The solar movement is charged by light energy. Water resistance of 100 m / 10 atm is enough for swimming and snorkeling, but not for scuba diving. Astron is Seiko's GPS Solar collection, and its first watch was released in 2012.
