The Seiko Astron SSH179J1 is an exciting watch where Seiko has taken their classic design and updated it with GPS connectivity. With it's 44.1mm diameter case (excluding crown) the SSH179J1 is a very comfortable and most of all practical companion. Of course the watch is water resistant to 100m and the beautiful dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with super clear coating. The movement powering all this is the Seiko Cal. 5X83 Solar GPS movement, which is solar powered and extremely accurate. The Seiko Cal. 5X83 movement connects to GPS satellites, so it automatically adjust to the local time zone, ensuring you are always in sync with the world, regardless of your location. Powering this is done by the integrated solar cells, that can charge the watch up to 6 months with a full charge. Of course the movement has a plethora of features, such as a perpetual calendar until 2100, power reserve indicator, world time (39 timeszones), dual timezones, automatic hand alignment and a power save feature. And one of the nicest features of all, the 5X83 is the first Astron GPS Solar movement to feature a chronograph complication!
