At this point, solar energy is mainstream in US culture. Driving through suburbia, almost every street has one house with solar panels on the roof. It only makes sense that the horological world would also harness the eco-friendly technology.
The Eco-Drive F900 powers the Promaster Navihawk GPS. The entire collection does not contain a battery, but instead is powered by light. An energy cell within the watch takes natural or artificial light and converts it into the power needed for the many functions, including a perpetual calendar, alarm and chronograph.
The watch is placed on a silver-tone bracelet with a safety fold over clasp with a push button and has a 666-foot water resistance.
