A first for the Seiko Astron

 

Seiko presents the first Astron GPS Solar watch to combine dual-time technology with a chronograph function - calibre 5X83. And here are the key new features:  1. A 1/20-second chronograph function The new watch features a sub-dial at 12 o'clock that measures elapsed time in increments of 1/20th of a second. 2. A faster time transfer function The time of day displayed on the main dial can be switched with the one on the six o'clock sub-dial by holding down two buttons for three seconds. The main dial and sub-dial hands move simultaneously, making the time required for the transfer significantly shorter with the new Calibre 5X83 than with Calibre 5X53. 3. Further improvement of the dial texture The new movement's enhanced energy-charging efficiency allows the main dial and sub-dials to have contrasting colours and textures. On today's offer we have four models to choose from. Two featuring the latest and greatest 5X83 movement and two limited edition models, only 1,500 pieces made worldwide of each. This Starry Sky dial of these limited models feature a stamped star-shaped pattern – a process difficult to achieve on a dial with a solar cell.

Samurai + Shogun =

 

It is Seiko season, so today we have more of Seiko's latest releases on offer.  The three new Prospex Diver's models just released, SRPL11K, SRPL13K and SRPL15K, bear both the style features of the Seiko Samurai and the distinctive shapes of the Seiko Shogun.  - 41.7mm case size - 12.3mm thickness - 49.5mm lug to lug - Stainless steel case - Hardlex glass - Matte dial - available in burgundy red and black - Automatic movement calibre 4R35 - 200m water resistance My favourite: the burgundy Prospex. It is simply a striking watch that really needs to be seen in person. Even Seiko's photos don't do it any justice.
