A small ring antenna under the bezel receives the signals. You can also change the time zone manually with the push of a button. Using satellite signals, it sets itself to the current local time automatically at regular intervals. The Seiko Astron GPS Solar was the world's first solar watch with GPS at its introduction in 2012. Since then, this collection has represented the manufacturer's visionary innovations. Seiko launched the first quartz wristwatch in the world in 1969, and called it the Astron. Never worn models are priced around 260 euros. The chain-like stainless steel bracelet makes the watch feel like a piece of jewelry. This two-handed watch has a 23-mm oval case in stainless steel and appears especially feminine.
Īnother model for women is the Seiko Solar (SUP295P1) set with crystals and featuring a mother-of-pearl dial. Both versions have a power reserve of up to 12 months. This timepiece has both men's and women's variants, the latter having a delicate 18-mm case. This makes the two-handed watch a classic dress watch perfect for any business suit or evening attire. The stainless steel case with gold plating harmonizes well with the black Roman numerals on the white dial. You can buy the rectangular Seiko Solar (SUP880P1) resembling the Cartier Tank for a similar price. The weekday and date displays finish off the look of this modest men's watch. The line indices used to show the hours are coated in Seiko's luminous Lumibrite material. This simple, three-handed watch has a stainless steel bracelet and 37-mm case combined with a black dial.

In terms of material, you have the choice of stainless steel or titanium. Other than the "Solar" inscription on the dial, there is no other way to tell you are looking at a solar watch. From dress watches to sporty chronographs, you are guaranteed to find a watch that matches your taste. Seiko covers a wide range of designs in its solar collection. In doing so, you save yourself the hassle of changing a battery at regular intervals, which is necessary with typical quartz watches. That being said, you should give your solar watch as much light as possible and not wear it under your sleeves so as to guarantee the advertised power reserve. All light sources charge this timepiece's battery, meaning it works flawlessly even in the dark winter months. Watches with solar technology are user-friendly since they only require a few minutes of light for a day's worth of energy. The latter combines the best of both worlds: the precision of a quartz movement with the charging mechanism of an automatic caliber. This also includes hybrid movements, such as Spring Drive or Kinetic technologies. The manufacturer Seiko launched its first solar watch in 1977, and the company has prioritized advancing the development of alternative ideas since its foundation.
