The Kinetic Direct Drive is another interesting novelty: the watch takes its energy from the movement of the wearer's wrist, so the more enthusiastic you are at winding sails, the faster the watch will be powered.
An indicator on the watch shows power being added in real-time. It provides the one thing that sailors of all abilities crave, whether they are solo circumnavigators or weekend trippers on the Solent: reliability. With the Kinetic Direct Drive there is the reassurance that the battery never runs flat.
Mr. Takashi Wakuyama, Executive Director & COO, Seiko Watch Corporation said, “Seiko as a watch has always been known for it's 'classy active' look which embodies precision, cutting-edge technology for split second accuracy with a range of new distinctive styles."
"Our watches are designed and manufactured keeping in mind the major demands of high quality performance sports, but on top of this we have the actual Sailors and Formula 1 racers involved in the critical design process."
"SEIKO is the worldwide sponsor of 49er class sailing, a fast growing Olympic sailing class that is capturing the imagination of sailors all over the world. Our association with the sport of Sailing in India, is in tune with Seiko's Global Strategy”.
Announcing Seiko India's foray into sports like Sailing, Mr Atsushi Kaneko, Managing Director, Seiko Watch India said, “Internationally Seiko has always been closely associated with sports and have been official timekeepers in various Olympics and Football World Cups."
"Just recently, Seiko was the official timer of the IAAF World Championship in Athletics, Osaka 2007. Seiko has been the Official Partner of the IAAF since 1985."
"Seiko is also closely associated with sports like Formula 1 and Sailing, for the various range of watches suitable for the specific sport."
"In India, this is our first step to enter sports by getting associated with the Yachting Association of India for the 'Seiko Velatura YAI Season Opening Regatta'."
"It's a great pleasure indeed, for SEIKO to be able to foster and encourage the great sport of sailing and yacht racing in this country”.
Commenting on this the Hony Secretary General of YAI, Captain Ravi Nadkarni said, “We believe that Seiko's support to the Season Opening Regatta will infuse enthusiasm amongst youngsters such that they improve their skills and become internationally competitive”.
Seiko is proud to be hosting the Regatta under the aegis of Sea Cadet – Sailing, which promotes sailing amongst the Indian youth.
The demands of this sport helps build character and provides the youth a rare opportunity to take to the seas and enjoy the thrills of this magnificent sport.
