Don’t stop me now, as the song by Queen goes. This is the mantra of the new age. And Seiko Astron GPS Solar watch is precisely what you need to be unstoppable.
In the award-winning show The Bear, every second counts is emblazoned above the kitchen. Because today, you can waste a single second. And that is what GPS Solar movement gives you.
The Seiko Astron Gives You Precision Wherever You Go
The original Seiko Astron nearly bankrupted the Swiss chronometer watch industry. The first quartz watch was simply more accurate than any other mechanical watch in the market at that time.
And now the latest versions of the Seiko Astron allows you to live life to the fullest with GPS Solar technology. Here’s why.
First, solar power means that you can effectively go without tedious winding or even wrist time just to keep the timepiece running. The power of the sun and even ambient light powers each Seiko Astron GPS Solar watch. A solar powered watch can go on indefinitely for as long as it has access to light.
Second, this is probably your most precise timepiece. The 5X and 3X Calibers connect to GPS, updating the time across different timezones. No matter where you go, you’ll have timekeeping. And if for happenstance you run into an area with GPS access? Fret not because each Seiko Astron is accurate to plus or minus 15 seconds a month.
Finally, it’s the functionality of the GPS Solar movement. Because of its evergreen nature, it can be used to power a multitude of functions: from dual-time switching to highly accurate chronographs.
The Perfect Seiko Astron For You
And because you’re unstoppable, you need a Seiko Astron right now. Here’s three excellent GPS Solar watches for your consideration.
The Seiko Astron SSJ013J1
The SSJ013J1 utilizes a deep blue face, textured with a pattern echoing the quartz of the OG Astron which sits inside a 41.2mm titanium case with a faceted octagonal bezel. At the heart of it is Seiko’s 3X62 GPS Solar movement, which pulls its power from any light source and syncs to any of 39 time zones at the touch of a button. A single sub-dial at 8 o’clock quietly reports GPS signal status and charge level, while a perpetual calendar accurate until February 2100 means you’re not resetting the date after every short month for the next seven decades.
For someone who’s constantly between flights, let’s say OFWs headed home for the holidays, executives shuttling between Manila and Singapore for quarterly reviews, the appeal isn’t flashy. It’s practical in a stylish package.
When you land, just press the button, and the watch already knows where you are. Sapphire crystal and 10 bar water resistance mean it shrugs off Manila’s humidity and the occasional careless splash without complaint. It’s made for the modern man who’s unstoppable in every aspect.
The Seiko Astron SSH119J1
The SSH119J1 enhances the uninterrupted philosophy and takes it to the next level. Its 43.1mm titanium case, finished with a black ceramic bezel under a super-hard coating, houses the Caliber 5X53 GPS Solar movement which allows you to switch seamlessly between two timezones. The black dial, textured in a radial pattern, carries a genuinely impressive and legible layout: a day-of-week sub-dial at 3 o’clock, a second time-zone display at 6, and a GPS/charge/flight-mode indicator at 9. Press the pushers at 2 and 4 together, and the main and secondary time displays swap instantly. Your home time becomes local time in a heartbeat, no recalculating what time it is back in Manila while you’re in a meeting in Frankfurt. The traveler will do well with a Seiko Astron in the Philippines.
Accuracy holds to within plus or minus 15 seconds a month even without a GPS signal, and a full charge keeps the watch running roughly six months on its own, stretching to about two years in power-save mode if it’s sitting in a drawer. Add sapphire crystal with a super-clear, anti-reflective, double-curved coating and 10 bar water resistance, and this becomes less a travel accessory and more a second brain for time zones. It’s a watch that never lags, never needs charging cables, and never asks you to remember anything.
The Seiko Astron SSH051J1
Not every disruption comes from crossing time zones. Sometimes it’s just the need to time something precisely, right now, without reaching for a phone. The SSH051J1 answers that with a 42.7mm stainless steel case built around the Caliber 5X53 GPS Solar movement, but tuned here for chronograph function alongside date display. But even then, it has all the bells and whistles that make the Seiko Astron so enviable. From a perpetual calendar that goes up February 28, 2100, daylight savings time features, to dual-time functionality, it is every bit the ultimate timepiece. It’s the perfect GPS watch for the Philippines.
The black dial keeps things clean. It has no numerals, just clear markers finished in Lumibrite for visibility in low light set against a stainless steel bezel and case that’s noticeably more office-ready than its titanium siblings, with a steel bracelet and secure deployment clasp.
Sapphire glass and 10 bar water resistance round out a spec sheet built for consistency rather than spectacle: the kind of watch that clocks a presentation, tracks a workout, or times a commute without ever needing a reset, a new battery, or a second thought. No interruptions for you with this watch on hand.
