Seiko Astron GPS Solar Cherry Blossom and Starry Sky
Seiko is celebrating a decade of innovation in solar GPS watchmaking with two new limited editions inspired by cherry blossoms and star-filled skies. The Cherry Blossom SSH171 and Starry Sky SSJ029 models expand the Seiko Astron GPS Solar collection, capturing poetic scenes from nature through elegant design and advanced features.
A technological breakthrough in the service of style
Since its launch in 2012, the Seiko Astron GPS Solar collection has embodied technological excellence. These watches use solar power to connect to the GPS satellite network, automatically adjusting the time according to time zones* while delivering unrivalled accuracy.
With the Cherry Blossom and Starry Sky editions, Seiko pairs this technical mastery with a captivating aesthetic. The shimmering purple dials, combined with black titanium cases, evoke cherry blossoms in bloom beneath a starry sky. A star-trail motif frames the dials, further enhancing the poetic character of these pieces.
Cherry Blossom SSH171: a watch paying tribute to spring
The Cherry Blossom SSH171 edition features a gradient purple dial inspired by cherry trees dancing in the wind. The titanium case and bracelet, with their scratch-resistant coating, offer lasting robustness and lustre. The ceramic bezel adds an extra touch of elegance.
The solar GPS Calibre 5X83 includes features such as a dual time display with day/night indication, a precise 1/20th-second chronograph, and a perpetual calendar programmed through 2100. With a 42 mm diameter and 10-bar water resistance, this model is perfect for modern explorers.
Recommended retail price: €2,800
Starry Sky SSJ029: the allure of the night sky
The Starry Sky SSJ029 edition celebrates the majesty of starry nights with a deep purple dial. The case and bracelet, also in black titanium, incorporate a scratch-resistant coating. The titanium bezel completes the ensemble with finesse.
The Calibre 3X62 movement focuses on the essentials, with GPS time-zone adjustment, a perpetual calendar and a power-saving function. Lighter and slightly slimmer at 12 mm thick, this watch retains 10-bar water resistance.
Recommended retail price: €2,700
A limited edition for enthusiasts
Both models are limited to 1,500 pieces each and will be available from January 2025 in Seiko boutiques and through authorised retailers. Their unique combination of technical performance and refined design makes them highly desirable pieces for watch enthusiasts and collectors.
