As unexpected has the launch of the new <\/span>Seiko<\/strong> GPS Astron 2014<\/strong> been back in the days as pleasing.

A timepiece which marks a milestone in watchmaking as it has done the <\/span>Seiko<\/strong> Quartz Astron<\/strong> back in 1969<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"SEIKO<\/p>\n

The <\/span>Seiko<\/strong> GPS Astron 2014<\/strong> draws inspiration from stratosphere, the outer part of earth, which is represented by the highly domed sapphire crystal that dominates over the rounded 48mm stainless steel, protected by the proprietary <\/span>Seiko<\/strong> \u201cblack hard coating\u201d<\/em> or the (new?) \u201cpink gold hard coating\u201d<\/em>. Cities and timezones have been now moved on the inside, and surround a earth shaped dial. Which the outcome? A neat and easy to read dial: this effect is amplified by the new layout chosen for the luminous indexes.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"SEIKO<\/a><\/span>While the original <\/span>Seiko<\/strong> GPS Astron<\/strong> is available in titanium or steel, on rubber or metal bracelet, the <\/span>Seiko<\/strong> GPS Astron 2014<\/strong> has been launched exclusively with a stainless steel case on rubber or leather; this means, maybe, this new model represents a different addition to the GPS Astron <\/strong>range, a more audacious and innovative design language by which <\/span>Seiko<\/strong> are willing to communicate such high technical feats. Or, otherwise, it represents a test bench for repositioning the <\/span>Seiko<\/strong> GPS Astron<\/strong> line-up, abandoning that classical look which maybe best fits, for example, the Ananta series\u2026either cases, time will tell! <\/span><\/p>\n
