Description
With the strong, sleek lines of the Seiko Astron, the world’s first commercially available quartz watch, today’s Astron is designed for a new generation of leaders, breaking through to the future with excellence in both innovation and style. Available only in a controlled-production run of 1,500, with the serial number engraved on each caseback, this dynamic timepiece evokes a swirling galaxy in the vast darkness of space. Framed by a titanium bezel with turquoise accents and a glossy ceramic insert, the dark turquoise patterned dial has a subtle sparkle expressing new stars being born to the spiral galaxy and their unknown trajectories. Equipped with Seiko’s 5X83 caliber, offering both high-speed GPS dual time and time zone adjustment to 39 time zones and a chronograph function that measures elapsed time in 1/20th second increments, the high precision timepiece also features an AM/PM indicator, daylight saving time function, power save function, perpetual day/date calendar correct to the year 2100, and a time transfer function that allows the user to switch the main time and dual time indications with the push of a button, all powered by light energy with no battery change required. The unique turquoise dial displays four subdials, a date calendar, and LumiBrite hands and markers. Crafted of light and durable titanium with black super hard coating, this superb creation also includes a sapphire crystal with super-clear coating, secure screwdown caseback, and tri-fold push button release clasp with Smart Adjuster function.
