Yes the new Astron has just arrived. Actually, not one, but three ‘futuristic’ edition models; the Earth, Moon and Sun. Catchy.
I have been following Astron’s development for the past few years. There
is no doubt that with Astron, Seiko has reached the point of movement
development where there is nothing left to perfect.
It’s perfect in every aspect: timekeeping, radio connection to
satellite, functionality and ease of adjustment. Visually, the dial and
hands are executed to the highest standard of horological manufacturing.
Therefore the only area left for ‘exploration’ is the actual case,
bezel and bracelet design, and perhaps, a dial texture and colour. And
SEIKO is not shy to experiment, to offer new designs, to try and
explore.
For more than a hundred years, Seiko was equally successful in following
the trends as well as starting it’s own. Earth, Moon and Sun collection
is a perfect example of independent thinking.
A modern watch for a modern watch enthusiast. Practical, accurate, elegant, unique.
Should you add one to your ‘daily wearer’ list? Absolutely. Especially if like myself, you love Titanium. 42mm case size.
Boutique price: $3,750
