Seiko Astron GPS Solar ‘Spiral Galaxy’ Limited Edition 43.5mm Mens Watch Blue

MPN: SSH187J1

Astron was created from Seiko’s passion for innovation, and now, under the design theme of ‘Solidity,’ a series of solar timepieces have been created for the innovative future ahead for Seiko watchmaking.

There are just 1,500 pieces of this limited edition available worldwide, with very few in the UK. Lightweight with strong looks, within a super hard coated titanium case and bracelet, under dual curve sapphire glass crystal the dark turquoise blue dial showcases a ‘spiral galaxy’ pattern. Within an all-black 43.3mm case and ceramic bezel, with a circular whirling effect, like a galaxy in space – the glittered effect is designed to depict bright stars.

The distinctive ‘spiral galaxy’ dial pattern in dark turquoise blue is particularly difficult to create on a solar cell whilst maintaining its charge efficiency. This limited edition model has its own contemporary feel, with its sleek lines, slim profile, and compact, angular design it has an almost seamless flow from the case through the lugs and to the bracelet. The bracelet is crafted from titanium for lightweight wearing with a mirror effect centre link and a micro-adjustable clasp feature.

Powered by a new in-house 5X83 solar-powered movement, it not only charges efficiently, but also features a 1/20th of a second chronograph function for measuring elapsed time. The subdial at 12 o’clock is for the chronograph feature, the subdial at 9 o’clock for setting modes, and the subdial at 6 o’clock for a dual-time feature.

Seiko Astron: the world’s first GPS solar watch – powered by light, automatically adjusted to your exact time through the latest satellite technology.
