The “SEIKO ASTRON”, a completely limited production of the Honda NSX design philosophy is featured throughout the watch.
The ” SEIKO Astron ” inherits the name of the legendary Seiko model that revolutionized the world. For this limited edition model, Seiko Astron has collaborated with the world of Honda’s flagship ” NSX “, which continues to evolve as a super sport with world-class athletic performance and comfortable handling. The design of the Honda NSX has been incorporated throughout the watch to create a one-of-a-kind piece with the dignified presence of a high-grade series.
The dial is inspired by the front grille and the case by the body form.
The three-dimensional molded dial with a honeycomb pattern is based on the NSX’s front grille. Above the dial is an hour mark in the same Arabic font as the instrument panel. The case, with its attractive three-dimensional beauty unique to this limited edition model, is inspired by the body form of the NSX. The three-dimensional back cover, which is based on the motif of a special forged aluminum wheel that has undergone a special three-dimensional process, is also noteworthy.
The soul of the NSX is expressed in the bezel, crown, and other details.
The crown is designed to represent the NSX’s unique “Integrated Dynamics System” dial. The airport code (CMH) for the NSX’s production site is engraved on the side of the bezel at the 10 o’clock position. In addition, the leather strap is a combination of ” Black and Red ” colors, reminiscent of leather seats.
The push buttons are inspired by the gas pedal and brake pedals.
The stopwatch buttons at 2 and 4 o’clock are slit grooved. The buttons, which are based on the gas pedal and brake pedals, are not only original but also functional in that they are easy to operate in practice. The tachymeter is the first Astron watch to feature a lumibright display, with the “308” at 2 o’clock representing the maximum speed of the NSX, and emitting a green light unlike the other scales.

About Seiko Astron
This model inherits the name from the world’s first quartz wristwatch “Quartz Astron” launched by Seiko in 1969. Like the ” Quartz Revolution ” that transformed people’s lifestyles around the world, the world’s first GPS solar-powered watch was born in September 2012 as the second revolution in the history of watches. The watch receives radio waves from GPS satellites wherever it is on the earth and displays the exact time in its current location. Seiko’s unique features, such as the “ring antenna,” which provides outstanding reception performance, and the “Smart Sensor,” which automatically corrects the time, allow the wearer to obtain accurate time without stress.
