A design that features a large sapphire glass

Launched in 2014, Seiko Astron’s design was built around the motif of the Earth, as it is a GPS solar-powered watch that can tell the exact time anywhere around the world. A major design feature is the dome glass. This large sapphire glass is shaped dynamically to resemble the stratosphere surrounding the earth. The glass was slowly carved out of a solid block over a long period of time in an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive process, but one that was essential to the creation of the worldview expressed in the design. The dial ensures legibility with three-dimensional sloping indexes and large hour and minute hands.
