Seiko Astron Kintaro Hattori Limited Edition Solar – SSH073

The SEIKO Astron SSH073 is a pioneering wristwatch, representing the pinnacle of horological innovation. It harnesses GPS satellite signals to automatically calibrate itself, ensuring impeccable timekeeping across the globe with just a simple button press. Powered by light, it boasts an impressive 6-month power reserve (extendable to 2 years in power-saving mode), eliminating the hassle of frequent battery changes.

Part of the exclusive X5 Titanium series, this timepiece pays homage to SEIKO's founder, Kintaro Hattori, with a limited production run of only 2500 units. Its case, constructed from lightweight and durable black ion-finished titanium, marries form and function seamlessly.

This watch doesn't just tell time; it's a multifaceted tool with automatic hands adjustment, a perpetual calendar, daylight saving, world time, and dual time functions. Its rapid GPS signal reception and time transfer capabilities guarantee precision timekeeping, regardless of your location or time zone.

The design is both striking and functional. The 42.8mm case features a notched bezel and a black satin dial, complete with a rim displaying 28 world city time-zone codes. Luminous sword-style hands and raised stick markers ensure readability under a dual curved, anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The watch also includes a date window, day display sub-dial, and am/pm indicator. A sub-dial handles dual time, while another at 9 o'clock manages features like flight mode, DST, leap year, and power reserve.

Water-resistant up to 200 meters, it's suitable daily wear. The bracelet, made from the same lightweight titanium, secures with a twin push-button tri-fold safety clasp, adorned with the SEIKO insignia. The SSH073 exemplifies SEIKO's commitment to innovation, functionality, and timeless design.
