78 July-August 2015 www.womanthismonth.com Brought to Bahrain by Ambassador Stores, the authorised dealer of SEIKO in the Kingdom, the world’s first GPS Solar watch, SEIKO Astron, is a unique timepiece. It relies on pure technology and will definitely enchant watch aficionados. The state-of-the-art masterpiece divides the globe into 100,000 squares covering all the 39 different time zones across the world. SEIKO has created a low energy-consuming GPS receiver that can accurately update the time up to 1/100 of a second in any corner of the world at the press of a button. Once a day (or on demand), Seiko Astron automatically receives the time signal by connecting to four or more of the GPS satellites that orbit Earth. This allows the watch to pinpoint the time zone it’s in. The timepiece also runs entirely off solar power or any form of ambient light, turning it into a no-maintenance watch. All this technology is packed in a small device with a 47-mm diameter case and just 135 grams weight. Another special element of the Astron is Seiko’s new anti-reflective coating applied on both the front and back of the glass. This feature prevents 99 per cent of light reflection and allows the dial to be easily legible, even with very bright light. Call 17 225-513. AMBASSADOR STORES GLOBAL POSITIONING In a world where we are driven by the new technologies created every day, there’s nothing more valuable than a watch that we can take anywhere and know it will always point us in the right direction. showcase
