The Seiko Astron GPS Solar Chronograph, Made to Measure for Novak Djokovic

LONDON, June 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    When Novak Djokovic selected Seiko as his watch partner, it was the new Astron GPS
Solar collection that particularly caught his eye, and Novak has worn Astron ever since.
So, what could be more appropriate than to introduce a Novak Djokovic Limited Edition
Astron?

    The new Seiko Astron GPS Solar Novak Djokovic Limited Edition is based on the new
chronograph caliber that was introduced at Baselworld 2014 to great acclaim. This
remarkable caliber, like all watches in the Astron collection, adjusts to every time zone
on earth at the touch of a button so that, no matter where Novak's quest for tennis glory
may take him, he has always the exact time on his wrist. We estimate that Novak's 2014
global travel schedule would normally require him to adjust his watch at least 60 times.
With Astron, he does not have to worry about it once.

    The 8X82 caliber offers Novak two new functions - a six-hour chronograph and an
electronic function in the crown for even easier adjustment of the secondary functions.
Furthermore, the new watch is 30% smaller in size than the existing 7X caliber. This size
has been achieved by a new advance in Astron's energy-saving technology which allows the
watch to connect to the GPS network with a smaller antenna.

    The Novak Djokovic Limited Edition has unique appeal, thanks to the black ceramic
bezel, the extra-strength silicon strap and the rose-gold tone of the steel case. The case
back carries Novak's name and signature with each watch's own serial number engraved
beneath.

    This new watch is part of the "wardrobe" of Seiko watches that Novak now wears. We
respect Novak as a sportsman of course, but we also respect his wide range of interests
away from the tennis court and his very varied lifestyle. So, while we cannot help Novak
win tournaments, we can help him to manage his time in every other aspect of his life.
Novak now has a series of watches, each selected from the Astron, Premier, Sportura and
Prospex collections, to suit his different activities.

    The Novak Djokovic Astron GPS Solar Chronograph is a limited edition of 2,500, offered
in its own presentation box with a personal message from Novak Djokovic.

    It will be released in November 2014, and will be presented at leading Seiko retail
outlets worldwide.
