SEIKOMen's SKA234 Le Grand Sport Kinetic Watch

A powerful perspective from the Seiko Le Grand Sport collection... classic contemporary men's Kinetic watch is sophisticated and urbane in stainless steel and gold plate. High-tech Kinetic quartz movement never needs batteries. Outstanding polished steel case is accented with distinctive coin edge detail. Skeleton crystal caseback reveals the intricate movement inside. Case is presented on the handsome vertical link bracelet in satin finished steel with fluted, polished gold plated accent links. Raised polished steel bezel with a polished gold plate ring encircles the gray dial with gold colored hands and hour markers. Powerfully styled and technologically advanced, the Seiko SKA233 two-tone stainless steel men's watch feature's Seiko's kinetic quartz movement, which contains its own internal electrical generator--operated by natural wrist movements--making it independent of conventional storage batteries. The step-motion second hand will move in 2-second intervals when energy is reaching a level of less than 3 hours. It features a large, round watch case that measures 1.7 inches in diameter and a gray dial background that's accented by gold-tone hands (with a thin second hand). The dial markers mix triangle shapes and Roman numerals, and it also features small minute indexes that surround the outer dial. The silver stainless steel bracelet band mixes polished and gold-tone textured pieces, and it's joined by a push-button butterfly clasp. The skeleton caseback lets you see the watch's inner mechanics. It's capped by a highly polished gold-tone crown that's tipped with a black center. Other features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, date function at 3 o'clock, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet). 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.

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 world’s 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 today’s 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 world’s 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. See more ( javascript:void(0) )
