Seiko‘s Astron collection has long been a pioneer in innovative watchmaking, and the Astron GPS Solaire series is a prime example. These GPS-powered solar watches seamlessly blend cutting-edge technology with timeless design, ensuring unparalleled accuracy and convenience for the modern traveler. Now, Seiko adds two dazzling limited-edition Astron GPS Solaire models to the collection, aptly named “Morning Star.”
Drawing inspiration from the breathtaking spectacle of the pre-dawn sky, the “Morning Star” editions boast a captivating aesthetic. The lightweight yet robust black titanium case and bracelet evoke the inky blackness of a star-filled night. However, upon closer inspection, the dial reveals a mesmerizing transformation. A shimmering gradient effect takes center stage, reminiscent of the gradual illumination as dawn breaks. This captivating display embodies the essence of the “Morning Star,” the celestial body that heralds the coming of a new day.
Functionality remains paramount in these Astron watches. The in-house Seiko 5X53 caliber (SSH145) and 3X62 caliber (SSJ021) power the timekeeping, ensuring exceptional accuracy through automatic GPS signal reception. World time functionality allows for effortless transitions between time zones, while the perpetual calendar eliminates the need for manual date adjustments. For enhanced legibility in low-light conditions, the hour markers and hands are coated with blue Lumibrite, emitting a soft afterglow.
Limited to just 1,200 pieces each, the Seiko Astron GPS Solaire “Morning Star” editions are a must-have for watch aficionados seeking a blend of cutting-edge technology and captivating design. The SSH145, featuring the 5X53 caliber, measures 42.7mm in diameter and carries a recommended retail price of €2,800. The SSJ021, equipped with the 3X62 caliber, has a slightly smaller case diameter of 41.2mm and comes in at €2,300.
