--- Introduction --- A SEIKO ASTRON GPS Solar, calibre 5X53-0AB0, in rose gold-tone and black, offered complete with its original box and papers. The Astron is the watch that made satellite timekeeping wearable: at the touch of a button it locates itself by GPS and sets both the time and the correct time zone anywhere on earth, powered entirely by light. This 5X53 generation is notably slimmer than the first Astrons, and pairs a rose gold-tone case with a black ceramic world-time bezel and a black dial with rose gold accents, dual-time and day sub-dials, a power-reserve indicator and a date at three. Fitted to its original black silicone strap. --- Specifications --- Brand: SEIKO Series: ASTRON GPS Solar Reference: 5X53-0AB0 Movement: GPS-controlled solar quartz, calibre 5X53 Case Material: Stainless steel with rose gold-tone finish and black ceramic bezel Crystal: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Dial: Black with rose gold-tone applied markers, world-time and day sub-dials, power reserve indicator, date aperture at 3 o'clock Case Back: Screw-back engraved SEIKO GPS SOLAR, 5X53-0AB0, WATER RESISTANT 10 BAR, MADE IN JAPAN Strap: Original black silicone strap with signed folding clasp Water Resistance (as marked): 10 bar Set: Original presentation box, outer box, instruction booklets and Astron card included Period: 2010-2020 Country of Origin: Japan --- Condition Report --- Overall: Good condition with visible signs of wear consistent with use.
