AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
【Description】
The Seiko Astron was born from the idea of receiving time information from GPS satellites so that it can display the correct local time anywhere on earth. This piece features a black ceramic bezel marked with world time city codes, with the inner ring engraved with the offset from UTC — a composition characteristic of the Astron.
The dial is based on black, combining red markers, white indexes, and multiple sub-dials into a three-dimensional layout. Despite the amount of information presented, the white indexes and hands form a strong contrast against the black dial.
The case is stainless steel, and the bezel is made of ceramic. Ceramic is a hard material that resists changes in luster caused by everyday rubbing. The crystal is a sapphire crystal with a special coating.
The movement is solar powered. Because it generates power from light, it will not stop as long as it is worn regularly. It features a date display and acquires the time via its GPS reception function.
The bracelet is a genuine stainless steel bracelet. With a substantial case width of 45mm, it pairs with everything from jacket styles to casual wear. It is a watch designed with travel and business trips across time zones in mind.
