AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
【Description】
This is a Seiko Astron from the Solar Radio-Controlled Standard Series. It carries over the design language of the higher GPS-equipped line while narrowing the configuration to standard radio signal reception and solar drive, making it a model built around everyday practical use.
The dial is navy. The outer UTC ring is finished in blue and black, creating a clear contrast against the white indices. The case is built from sharply defined surfaces, each catching the light differently. The dial carries a date window at 3 o'clock, a retrograde day-of-week display, and a 24-hour subdial at 6 o'clock — a well-organised layout despite the amount of information shown.
The watch receives standard radio signals and corrects the time and calendar automatically. It supports six transmitters across five areas worldwide, and the world time function allows you to select from 25 regions and display that time on the main dial. Using the 24-hour subdial as a dual time display, you can track your local time and your home time at once. The date and day run on a full auto calendar, so no adjustment is needed at the end of the month.
The case and bracelet are made of pure titanium, giving a light result for a sports watch of this diameter. The hands and indices are treated with LumiBrite for visibility in the dark. The crown is a screw-down type, and the bracelet is secured with a one-push three-fold clasp.
It suits situations where you cross time zones for business or travel, and pairs easily with either a suit or a jacket.
