Concept: The Ever-Evolving, Futuristic "TOKYO"


The "SEIKO ASTRON," designed for globally active modern individuals, supports all time zones on Earth. It is the world's first GPS wristwatch powered by solar energy. As an item driving the second revolution in watchmaking history after quartz, it is currently highly acclaimed in approximately 50 countries worldwide.

In the latest model, "TYO" (Tokyo's city code) is displayed in red on the white base of the city code indicators, and red is used as an accent on the white leather strap. The white and red color scheme, reminiscent of Japan, is striking. Furthermore, the beautiful dome-shaped sapphire glass, reminiscent of an art piece, the mirror-finished case, and the geometric dial design create a stylish and modern urban landscape. The entire form encapsulates the world of a futuristic "TOKYO," achieving a novel and dynamic design.







As a special feature exclusive to the limited edition, the case back depicts the 24 GPS satellites as dots and is engraved with the serial number. It also comes in a special pure white box that matches the color scheme.
