92 April 2014 www.womanthismonth.com Why now and why Seiko? To combine Seiko’s solar technology with GPS required years of painstaking and ground-breaking research and development by Seiko Epson Corporation. Only Seiko’s advanced energy-efficiency technology could invent the miniature GPS receiver that requires so little energy to receive GPS signals from four or more satellites. The brand’s unrivalled skills in micro-engineering packaged this technology into a watch that is just 47mm in diameter and weighs about 135g. Head towards Ambassador Stores today and own a piece of timeless artistry. Call 17 225-513. The World's First Solar GPS Watch showcase Seiko’s authorised dealer, Ambassador Stores, introduces the world’s first solar-powered GPS watch — Seiko Astron — to Bahrain. The timepiece comes loaded with a Seiko-patented, low energy consuming GPS receiver that can identify 39 time zones, time and date, using the global network of GPS satellites. This makes it possible for the watch to divide the planet in 1,000,000 squares allocating a time zone to each. Wherever you are, this watch is capable to provide time with atomic clock precision. Once every day the Astron receives a time signal automatically or on demand from these satellites and pinpoints the exact location and time. The hands of the watch automatically adjust to the correct local time. A thing of beauty The Astron comes in three models. One is made in highintensity titanium, which is stronger than stainless steel, but has only 60 percent of its weight; the other two are made in high quality stainless steel. All have ceramic bezels, the same functions and high specifications, including a dual time sub-dial, in-flight mode indicator and sapphire crystal. The super-clear coating prevents 99 percent of light reflection and allows the dial to be easily legible, even in bright light. This state-of-the art timekeeping masterpiece merges the power of ambient light and orbiting satellites to give you atomic clock precision anywhere on the planet.
