Astron GPS Solar. Performance, precision and Novak Djokovic.
Chronograph, Dual-Time, World-Time and now Big-Date. The range of Astron GPS Solar calibers continues to grow in line with the ever-widening demand for this most intelligent and useful of watch technologies. The new 8X42 brings to four the number of active GPS Solar calibers in the Astron range
and adds a new note of relaxed elegance to the Astron design. This new series will be released in September 2017.
The Astron dress watch has arrived.
Like all Astron GPS Solar calibers, 8X42 offers the remarkable ability to adjust to local time, anywhere in the world, at the touch of a button and using just the power of light. With the addition of the big date window, the inclusion of a dual-time dial at the six o'clock position and new,
slimmer hands, the new designs have a refinement that makes them as perfect for an evening out as they are for international travel. With several versions featuring roman numerals for the first time in any Astron design and with more components having mirror-finished surfaces, the Astron dress
watch has truly arrived.
- If there are changes in the region / time zone, manual time zone selection may be required.
The 8X42 core collection comprises four models in stainless steel and three in titanium, but all offer a remarkable level of scratch resistance thanks to their ceramic bezels, sapphire crystals and the super-hard coatings that they all share. Indeed a new coating technology allows even the rose
gold tone designs to be highly resistant to scratches, ensuring that the luxury look of every Astron 8X42 watch lasts as long as possible.
The Novak Djokovic Limited Edition
The 8X42 collection is completed by a very special limited edition made in honor of one of the great sporting achievements of our time. By winning the 2016 French Open, Seiko's partner Novak Djokovic joined the small and very select group of players to have won a Career Grand Slam in tennis. In
fact, Novak held all four titles at once, an even rarer feat. We are delighted to use the new caliber as the base for a design that celebrates Novak's remarkable achievement.
The design is sleek and sophisticated and has a sports feel that reflects Novak's passion for tennis. The names of the four tournaments' host cities, London, Melbourne, New York and Paris, are picked out in yellow on the bezel, the stripe pattern on the dial offers a discreet echo of the way a
grass court is mown and the tennis scores of 'Love, 15, 30 and 40' surround the dual-time sub-dial in a discreet and witty design accent. The watch is as durable as it is smart. The bezel is made of zirconia ceramic and the silicone strap is strong and supple; whether Novak is travelling,
training or resting, his new Astron will be there, keeping him on time with a precision of one second every one hundred thousand years. The case back proudly bears Novak's signature and individual serial number.
