Seiko Keen Green belongs to a total new line of watches created especially for the U.S. Military. The Keen Green is a tribute to al of the air force members that have lost their life in the Second World War but its properties are made and customize for the use of today modern wa***re. The watch is totally in a green color and it is robust, created to resist in the worst condition of the planet like the air force military guys are. The case of the watch is built from one of the toughest aroid materials and that is stainless steel and titanium and this case can even sustain an entire truck to go past it and it will not take any damage. Also on the case is modeled on the right side, where the wheel is, the U.S. Air Force sign that makes it even rougher then before. That was not an easy thing to do because the titanium-steel aroid can be shaped only at 1500 Celsius degrees and only in some special mold. The perfect way to realize this watch was in a special blacksmith that is tradition is older then 200 years.Like the other watches where the glass is made from sapphire crystal, this glass of the Seiko Keen Green is made from a bullet proof glass that can resist just like the name said, to a firing bullet. The glass is as flat as possible; an exception is made on the edges where it is agglutinated with a special acrylic resin that also plays a water proof part in the isolation of the watch. So the Seiko Keen Green is one of the few watches that don't use a membrane to isolate the watch against water. Actually to make the glass possible to be mounted on the case it was necessary a special groove along the edge of the case, this can only make even more difficult for the case to be executed.Seiko has also made possible that the watch to be personalize on the back cap with the name of the soldier that wears it. The back side of the watch has also inscribed on it the U.S. Air Force emblem and the year when this segment of the army appears. The Seiko Keen Green makes possible that the soldiers can timed their actions or synchronized them. It also can measure air pressure, temperature or even water pressure. The most amazing feature of this watch is that it has a meters measuring device and we will try to explain how it works. When you want to measure the distance with the new Seiko Keen Green you must first take a reference point then when you will act the upper button of the watch two indicators will start. One of the indicators is measuring timed between the point where the button was pressed and the other point when the button is again started. The other indicator is actually a compass that is indicating the direction where you are heading. When the whole system is stopped the entire data are stoked into mechanicals parts. When you will like to go back to the reference point you must act the button again and the timer will go backwards and that it will show you how far you are from that point, and the compass will indicate in witch direction you must attend. This is a most common watch known between the military men and women but if you will like to buy one piece you must order it on-line because the watch can not be found in the stores.The Seiko Keen Green is an exemplar piece of engineering and so it shown to the world that the Seiko is a firm that can developed watches indifferent of the active domain in witch there are.
