An Executive Model Where the Honda NSX Design Resides in Every Detail
A special model has arrived in the world's first GPS solar watch, Seiko Astron, developed to bring about the "second revolution" in watch history following the quartz revolution, in collaboration with Honda's super sports car, the NSX.
From the three-dimensional sculpted beauty of the case, inspired by the NSX's body, to the case back that takes its motif from the dedicated aluminum wheels, and the leather strap in "Black and Red"—the same color as the interior leather seats—this design is imbued with respect for the NSX. The dial features a three-dimensional honeycomb pattern mimicking the NSX's front grille, and the hour markers, crown, and buttons are all given special motifs different from the standard ones.
The design is replete with details that will delight NSX enthusiasts, such as the engraving of "CMH," the airport code for Marysville, Ohio, where the NSX is produced, and the bezel, which features the European model's top speed of 308 km/h, glowing in a special green.
