The radiance of the starry sky expressed in a watch
In 2012, Seiko took electronic watchmaking to a new level with the Astron GPS Solar, which connects to the Global Positioning System (GPS) and adjusts to every time zone* while generating all the energy it needs from light alone. In keeping with the traditions of the Astron collection retaining multiple functions and state-of-the-art technology, a dynamic new fourth-generation Astron looks to the future with a sleek, yet dynamic new faceted design. This new reference is built around a spectacular transparent light-blue molded dial, which evokes the power, beauty, and infinite radiance of the starry sky. The dial's appearance changes depending on the angle of view.
This new Astron has a dynamic presence thanks to the dimensional case and the faceted bezel with hairline finishing on top, which contrasts with the polished sides. The case lines flow seamlessly through the lugs to an integrated bracelet that has a sharp design that matches the angular case to give the watches a refined appearance. This bracelet tapers neatly toward the clasp, reinforcing its harmonious and graceful look. The titanium case and bracelet have a scratch-resistant super-hard coating, and thanks to titanium’s light weight and the case’s low center of gravity, the watches sit comfortably on the wrist.
