Seiko Astron "The Earth At Night" Limited Edition
Founded in 1881 in Tokyo, Seiko has a long and proud history of horological firsts — from the world's first quartz watch in 1969 to the world's first GPS Solar watch in 2012. The Astron collection embodies that pioneering spirit at its finest, combining solar power with GPS satellite synchronisation to deliver timekeeping accuracy that no mechanical movement can match.
The Seiko Astron GPS Solar World Time "The Earth At Night" Limited Edition, reference SSE091J1, is a beautifully considered 44.8 mm black super-hard coated titanium watch with a delicate coloured mother-of-pearl dial. LumiBrite hands and markers ensure legibility in low light, with a perpetual calendar display at 3 o'clock. The black ceramic bezel enhances GPS signal reception — a functional detail that most wearers will never notice, but engineers will appreciate. At its heart beats the Seiko Calibre 8X22, a GPS Solar world time movement connecting to four GPS satellites to adjust time zone and local time automatically with an accuracy of one second per 100,000 years — across 40 time zones worldwide. A sapphire crystal with Seiko's proprietary super-clear anti-reflective coating protects the dial. Water resistance is rated at 100 metres. The watch is fitted on the ceramic and titanium bracelet with super-hard black coating and a tri-fold push-button release clasp. The edition number is engraved on the caseback, limited to 3,500 pieces worldwide.
This Astron Limited Edition is in very good condition and comes as a full set.
