The Seiko Men's Le Grand Sport Kinetic Perpetual Watch includes
two subdials that track the month and the 24-hour clock cycle.
The timepiece is constructed with a stainless steel case, a
stationary stainless steel bezel, and a stainless steel link
bracelet with a secure push-button-deployment clasp. A strong
sapphire window shields the black-and-gray dial face, which
features silver-tone hour markers, silver-tone Roman numerals at
two, eight, and 12 o'clock, and complementary watch hands. The
dial also includes silver minute indexes and a date
below the 12 o'clock position. This kinetic-powered timepiece is
water resistant to 330 feet. It is presented in a luxuriously
padded Seiko case.
Kinetic: A powerhouse in technological innovation
Like mechanical and quartz, Kinetic is a platform. Over the past
20 years, SEIKO has created on this platform a suite of Kinetic
movements, each bringing unique features to the consumer.
It was at the 1986 Basel Fair that SEIKO unveiled its first
Kinetic prototype. Introduced under the trial name of 'AGM', it
was the first watch in the world to convert kinetic movement into
electrical energy. It was the first step in a development that,
20 years later, has made Kinetic synonymous with environmental
friendliness, high performance and long-lasting convenience to a
generation of users worldwide. From the launch in 1988 of the
first commercially available watch (then under the new name AGS)
until today, over eight million Kinetic watches have been sold
(as of 2007).
In 1998, Kinetic Auto Relay was released, extending the 'at-rest'
operating period of the watch to a remarkable 4 years. 1999 saw
the launch of the Ultimate Kinetic Chronograph, a masterpiece
which fused the very best of SEIKO's mechanical and electronic
watch making skills, and in 2003 another Kinetic Chronograph was
launched. At Baselworld 2005, the Kinetic Perpetual made its
first appearance, combining Kinetic convenience and longevity
with a perpetual , correct to the year 2100. In 2007,
SEIKO's emotional technology Kinetic Direct Drive is introduced.
From Humble beginnings, Kintaro Hattoris Vision for Seiko has
become reality. A consuming passion for excellence - imprinted in
our Corporate passed from generation to generation. Seiko,
for 125 years committed to the art and science of time.
A culture of innovation connects a 19th century Tokyo clock shop
with 20th century advances in timekeeping to an extraordinary
21st century "quiet revolution." Continually driven by dedication
and passion, established a multitude of worlds first
technologies
transforming the principles of timekeeping.
The first quartz wristwatch changed the history of time.
The first Kinetic marked a new era in quartz watch technology.
In 1969, Seiko Astron, the first quartz wristwatch - was
introduced.
In an instant, Seiko exponentially improved the accuracy of
wristwatches And Seiko technology firmly established todays
standard in Olympic and sports timing.
1984, another celebrated first Kinetic Technology powered by
body movement.
Kinetic a quartz mechanism with unparalleled accuracy the
driving force behind more worlds firsts.
Kinetic Chronograph the next generation of high performance
timekeeping.
Kinetic Auto Relay automatically resets to the correct time.
Kinetic Perpetual - combining the date perfect technology of
perpetual with the genius of Kinetic Auto Relay.
And now Kinetic Direct Drive move, and the watch is powered
automatically. Or hand wind it and see the power you are
generating in real time.
In the realm of fine watches, time is measured by Seiko
innovation A heritage of dedication to the art and science of
time.
