Seiko Astron Watch GPS Solar Sapphire Blue Crystal Box
£1,800
Seiko Astron Watch GPS Solar Sapphire Blue Crystal Box SSJ013J1. This timepiece is named for its ‘crystal box’ pressed dial pattern – inspired by the legacy of the original Seiko Astron and its association with Quartz crystals, being the first ever quartz powered watch launched in the world back in 1969. The name also refers to the box-shaped sapphire crystal glass found on several Seiko designs – a scratch-resistant raised glass with impressive clarity which sits slightly proud from the bezel giving modern legibility benefits and a vintage geometric feel.
