SEIKO ASTRON – 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Solar GPS Black PVD SSH023J1

Seiko Astron 50th Anniversary Limited Edition

The Seiko Astron 50th Anniversary Limited Edition celebrates the anniversary of the brand’s 1969 masterpiece: the world’s first practical quartz wristwatch. In Seiko’s never-ending pursuit for the ultimate wristwatch, the Limited Edition is solar powered and connects automatically to the GPS network. At the touch of a button, it adjusts to the local time anywhere on earth with a precision of 1/100,000th second, using just the power of light. Packed full of great features, this is no ordinary watch.

Black PVD Case & Bracelet, Dial

Firstly, the watch has a 42.7mm black PVD stainless steel case with a super hard coating for durability. Similarly, the dual curved sapphire crystal also has a super clear coating. Secondly, the bracelet is also in black PVD stainless steel and secures to the wrist with a folding clasp. Additionally, the black dial has a vertical pattern and is easy to read with applied hour indexes. A subsidiary dial indicates the day of the week with a smaller am/pm indicator positioned next to it. Furthermore, a second sub dial at 6 o’clock shows a dual time zone with a third dial indicating power reserve. Moreover, an in-flight mode turns off all GPS functionality. Finally, a dual time display means that you can keep in touch with home as it displays the relevant time zone.

GPS

Equipped with a solar powered 8X53 calibre movement, the Seiko Astron 50th Anniversary Watch has a perpetual calendar. It also benefits from automatic hand position alignment and a world time function.
