Seiko Brand 100th Anniversary Astron GPS Solar Kintaro Hattori Limited Edition. Born of perseverance and hope, the history of the Seiko brand name goes back to the aftermath of the devastating Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, when K. Hattori & Co., determined to rebuild, released its 1924 first Seiko branded wristwatch. Honoring this pivotal moment and the achievements of Kintaro Hattori, this Limited Edition timepiece features an all-black case and bracelet with sunray-patterned dial and gold-tone accents to evoke the view of earth at night from an orbiting satellite, an image that perfectly conveys the groundbreaking technology behind Astron. Available only in a controlled-production run of 1,000, with the serial number, Kintaro Hattori’s name and motto, and the trademark “S” symbol of the Seikosha factory displayed on each special gold-tone caseback, this exceptional watch combines extraordinary design with the highest degree of accuracy possible in a wristwatch. The 5X83 caliber offers high-speed GPS dual time and time zone adjustment to 39 time zones and is equipped with a chronograph that measures elapsed time in 1/20th second increments. The movement also features an AM/PM indicator, daylight saving time function, power save function, perpetual day/date calendar correct to the year 2100, and a time transfer function that allows the user to switch the main time and dual time indications with the push of a button, all powered by light energy with no battery change required. Framed by a special multi-faceted ceramic bezel, and topped with dual curved sapphire crystal with super-clear coating, the unique pressed pattern dial displays a date calendar, LumiBrite hands and markers and four subdials with a contrasting finish and a sporty vertical layout, a first for Seiko Astron. The case is crafted of light and durable titanium with black super-hard coating, accented with a ceramic cabochon crown and paired with a unique combination titanium and ceramic bracelet with a tri-fold clasp with smart adjust function. The stunning Limited Edition is presented in a special collector’s box with additional extra-strength silicone strap and a commemorative pin marked with the Seikosha ‘S” symbol. 10 bar, 100M Water Resistant
