SEIKO
Astron GPS Solar Dual-Time | Ref. 8X53-0AD0-2

Product Overview
The SEIKO Astron is a pioneering milestone in modern horology, recognized as the world's first GPS solar-powered watch. This Dual-Time model features an advanced 8X53 caliber that automatically connects to the GPS satellite network, adjusting to the precise local time anywhere on Earth at the touch of a button. Encased in a robust 47 mm stainless steel frame, it is fitted with a polished black ceramic bezel engraved with global city codes. The deep charcoal dial offers a clean multi-dimensional layout, displaying a secondary 12-hour sub-dial, an AM/PM indicator, a day-of-the-week retrograde scale, and a date calendar. It stands as the ultimate, worry-free choice for international executives and frequent travelers.

Case Size: Approx. 47 mm (Excluding crown)

[Condition Report]
This authentic SEIKO Astron is in very good cosmetic condition and is fully operational, with noted environmental storage characteristics.

Crystal (Glass): Clear transparency with excellent visibility. Displays microscopic, superficial hairline marks under direct reflective light, which do not disrupt everyday use or reading the dial.

Bezel: The black ceramic bezel is glossy and well-preserved. Shows routine, minor pre-owned surface scuffs along the edge surfaces from standard handling.

Case: The massive stainless steel chassis is structurally solid and displays light cosmetic scuffs and fine hairline scratches from previous use. The caseback stamps are fully legible, showing typical fine surface rubbing.

Strap (Bracelet): The original stainless steel bracelet is tight, secure, and comfortable. Exhibits ordinary light desk-diving scuffs and hairline handling marks across the links and folding deployment clasp.

Scent : There is a little perfume/fragrance scent lingering on the watch from the previous owner. It might disappear as you use it.

Movement / Functionality: * Timekeeping: The GPS solar movement functions properly, connecting to satellites and holding perfect atomic-level time accuracy.

Crown / Pushers: The original crown and side chronograph buttons operate flawlessly, allowing smooth navigation through the multi-functions (Crown OK).




[Important Disclaimers - Please Read Before Purchasing]
No Warranty : As this is a pre-owned item, it is sold "as-is" with no operational warranty.

Testing & Accuracy : While we have verified the current operational status and crown movement, we have not conducted long-term accuracy tests or detailed inspections of all sub-functions not writen. These are excluded from any liability.

For solar-powered or battery-powered models, the remaining battery life of used batteries or power cells is unknown. Additionally, even if a solar-powered watch has been tested for proper operation, it may have stopped running by the time it is delivered due to a lack of charge, so please charge it yourself for some days before use.
