The new Astron GPS Solar collection takes the Astron legend to new levels. Now, the model brings a stunning angular titanium case, new dial patterns, and an offset subdial while keeping the solar-powered GPS movement that its now famous for. The watch brilliantly and automatically adjusts based on your location. The Seiko Caliber 3X62 has a whopping 6 months of power reserve with an astounding accuracy of +/- 15 seconds per month. What makes it even cooler is the built-in smart application that remembers the time of the last connection and attempts a following GPS connection if power runs out. It also has a ‘Power Save’ mode that allows it to function for up to 2 years if the watch is in the dark for 72 hours straight. There are four different models available for purchase now. Silver with blue dial, all-black, silver and gold with black dial, and silver with a limited edition two-tone shutter-style dial.
