Unique Timepiece Spotlight: Seiko Quartz Astron
The Seiko Quartz Astron, the world’s first quartz watch, was
launched in 1969 with an accuracy within 5 seconds per month, 100 times more
accurate than any other watch and lasting 250 times longer than most mechanical
watches – running continuously for a year.
The Seiko Quartz Astron was a revolutionary wristwatch that
changed timekeeping forever.
Today, the new Astron provides another breakthrough in watch
technology – a quartz watch with accuracy of one second every 100,000 years and
time zone adjustment. It is an analog, solar-powered watch that receives GPS
satellite signals and adjusts to the precise local time ANYWHERE on Earth!
Unlike the top mechanical watches that can display 37 time
zones with a manual reset, the Astron recognizes all 39. The Astron covers the
globe first by determining its location using GPS, then by comparing that
information with an onboard database that divides the Earth’s surface into one
million squares – each assigned to a certain time zone, something no other
watch can do.
This timepiece is always accurate, constantly adjusting the
time even on the move, and has a Perpetual Calendar that is correct until
February 28, 2100. How about that for a timepiece!
