The new Seiko Astron GPS Solar 3X62 collection is easier on the eyes and easy to operate

The Seiko Astron name is one of the most influential in watchmaking. The original Seiko Astron, released in 1969, was the world’s first commercial quartz wristwatch - an absolute paradigm shifter that kickstarted the so-called quartz crisis and established, beyond a shadow of a doubt, Seiko’s reputation as one of the world’s most important watch brands. These days, the Astron name is attached to a range of watches that are just as innovative, but perhaps don’t quite get their dues the same way the original Quartz Astron does. Seiko brought back the Astron name in 2012 for a new range of GPS solar watches - indeed, these were the world’s first mass-produced watches with time synchronization by GPS satellite signals. Since then, Seiko’s been refining the GPS Astron formula, with each subsequent generation of Astron models getting smaller and more stylish. That leads us to the topic of today’s piece, the most recent additions to Seiko’s Astron GPS Solar 3X62 range, which might feature the most cohesive Astron designs yet.
