Seiko Astron Men's Blue GPS Solar Quartz Watch SSJ013J1

The Watch

Founded in Tokyo in 1881, Seiko is one of the most celebrated watchmaking brands in the world. Renowned for its elegant designs and extensive model range, the house crafts reliable timepieces that embody the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship. Its relentless pursuit of perfection has made it synonymous with innovative models incorporating the latest technologies - combining every advantage that sports enthusiasts could ask for. From the Astron GPS Solar Quartz collection, the SSJ013J1 watch was engineered with a titanium case, making it remarkably lightweight and comfortable. Its hard coating ensures excellent shock resistance and long-lasting durability. Its brushed finish adds a timeless touch that never fails to impress. With an octagonal shape and dimensions of 41.20 mm in diameter, 12 mm thick, and 48.60 mm in length, this watch is a perfect fit for any man's wrist. The sapphire crystal with super-clear coating on the dial surface ensures optimal legibility in any conditions while protecting against impacts and unsightly scratches. A crown at 3 o'clock handles all dial adjustments. Finally, the screw-down caseback gives this 105 g model its 10 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

A sunray blue dial awaits to delight you. Its surface features charming geometric patterns that make reading the time a pleasure. Hour markers in baton form are precisely applied around the center. These are framed by a white minute railroad track for added timekeeping precision. The hour and minute hands are of the diver type. They are accompanied by a beautiful seconds hand for the most precise time reading possible. To help distinguish them in low-light conditions, all time indicators feature white Lumibrite treatment. At 3 o'clock, a window displays today's date. The brand name and collection are printed beneath the double index at 12 o'clock. The movement is noted above 6 o'clock. For full functionality, the dial features a subdial at 8 o'clock whose functions are detailed in the following section.

The Movement

As capable as the rest of the watch, the movement powering it is the GPS Solar mechanism. This top-of-the-range 3X62 caliber features an energy-saving function that delivers a flawless analog display. It also comes equipped with a perpetual calendar function, eliminating the hassle of adjusting for month-end and year-end dates. Fully charged with no further power input, it will run for approximately 6 months. In energy-saving mode, the movement remains operational for around two years, after which a recharge will be needed. It features 10 jewels and offers an accuracy of ±15 seconds per month (without GPS signal reception and at temperatures between 5°C and 35°C).

The Bracelet

The timepiece is adorned with a handsome titanium bracelet. Prized for its quality and comfort on the wrist, its three rows of brushed links bring understated elegance to your everyday looks. The clasp is a deployment buckle. The lug width is 14 mm.

Water Resistance

With 100 meters of water resistance - or 10 ATM - this bold timepiece is equally at home at a gala and in the water. Feel free to wear it in the shower, the bath, or during a swim (even an energetic one!). That said, our team of watchmaking experts reminds you that this model is not designed for scuba diving - freediving or tank diving - nor for use with high-pressure washers. Remember: showers, baths, and swimming only - and keep the pushers and crown untouched while submerged!
