The Dial:

The blackout motif is carrier through to the dial, which is laid out very clearly, with large lumibrite hour and minute hands displaying local time. The silver luminescent stands out against the black dial. A smaller sub-dial at 6 indicates home time, whilst the sub-dial at 3 indicates the day of the week on the local time, and an AM/PM indicator is set within. Another sub-dial at 9 acts as a function indicator and a power reserve indicator.  It also features the ever present Seiko logo beneath the 12 o’clock mark. A day display can also be seen between the 4 and 5 o’clock indices.

The Functions:

Quartz mechanisms power the watch. It is powered by solar energy and when fully charged the battery life is around 6 months. It synchronises twice a day to an atomic clock in a GPS satellite. The first connection of the day will be made when the dial sensor detects sunlight and the second is made at a time that is predetermined and set by the wearer, to accommodate their needs. The 5X53 caliber boasts an extraordinary time accuracy of 1 second deviation every 100,000 years making it one of the most accurate watches in the market. Although without GPS connection, the quartz movement keeps time to the standard +/- 15 per month accuracy.Also to note, the watch is water resistant up to 100 metres.
