Each of these pieces are impressively detailed with smooth dials, bold hands and Zaratsu polished cases which glisten gorgeously in the light. With six slightly varying designs, there is a Seiko Astron GPS Solar Calibre 5X watch for everyone, but we are particularly fond of the rose gold plated SSH006 model and the gorgeous 2,000 piece limited edition SSH007 inspired by the beauty of exploding stars, otherwise known as supernovas. There are two size variations as well with four models measuring to 42.9mm in diameter and 12.2mm in thickness and two measuring slightly larger at 43.5mm in diameter and 13.3mm in thickness.

There are six Seiko Astron GPS Solar Calibre 5X watches currently available including 5 titanium models and 1 rose gold plated model. The 5X calibre also boasts the same accuracy of other Seiko solar powered movements we have seen with +/-15 seconds per month. Like previous Seiko Astron watches, we still get world time zone function in 39 different time zones and a power save function. The 5X calibre continues to be powered by light, both natural and artificial and provides dual time with AM/PM indication, a perpetual calendar correct to the year 2100 and high speed time zone adjustment. Each Seiko Astron GPS Solar Calibre 5X watch is also equipped with automatic adjustment to daylight saving time and a special function which allows the wearer to switch the dial effortlessly between home and local time. Every component of the GPS module has been re-engineered so now all the hands move independently and the time zone function has been improved so that only three seconds are needed for the watch to advance from one time zone to another. The beauty of the new Seiko Astron 5X Calibre is that it is faster and more innovative than ever. Alongside an all-new thin design, they have released a range of Seiko Astron watches equipped with an entirely new calibre, the Seiko 5X. Seiko have unveiled the world’s smallest and thinnest GPS solar timepiece with their brand-new collection of Seiko Astron GPS Solar Calibre 5X watches.įor the past 8 years, Seiko Astron watches have been an easy first choice for global travellers who require quick time zone function and high-tech GPS satellite network.
