The launch in Japan on 14 May is scheduled by Seiko Watch Corp, of Hybrid, a series of solar-powered wristwatches. Already in In the past, the brand had concealed photovoltaic cells by stacking coloured resin sheets. This time, however, it used transparent sheets so as to leave the photovoltaic cells in view.
With this type of design, Seiko Watch wants to capture a young audience that is very sensitive to ecological issues. In fact, the name Hybrid symbolises a union between ecology and design, and the company has designed the various parts of the dial to match the design of the photovoltaic cells. A total of ten models will be offered with a price range from USD 215 to 283. When fully wound, the watches have an autonomy of about six months.
