SBXC075Seiko Watch Corporation will release a limited-edition model from the Revolution line, the high-end collection of the world's first GPS solar watch, Seiko Astron, in collaboration with the world view of Honda's new electric vehicle (EV), the Honda e, exclusively in Japan from September 26th. The suggested retail price is 594,000 yen (tax included) (540,000 yen excluding tax).
≪Product Features≫
A new design that embodies the "Affinity & Modern" values shared by both Astron and Honda e.
As an urban commuter vehicle, the Honda e offers powerful and clean driving, and was developed with the aim of seamlessly linking automotive travel with people's lives, thereby creating value that enriches everyday life. With its cutting-edge GPS solar technology and unique design, Astron also continues to propose a new form of wristwatch that expands the possibilities of people's lifestyles while staying close to them. This new model is a future-oriented GPS solar watch that emphasizes the identities of both brands.
Honda e
The Honda e is Honda's proposal for an urban commuter vehicle. It features a simple, modern design that fits in with the new era. It is a new electric vehicle (EV) that combines a motor and rear-wheel drive to deliver powerful, clean driving and easy maneuverability. It is equipped with a variety of advanced features, including the Widescreen Honda Connect Display, a large two-screen touch panel monitor, and a Side Camera Mirror System that replaces door mirrors. It also comes equipped with advanced connected technologies, including the Honda Personal Assistant, which uses AI to recognize voice messages and provide information. As an EV that embodies the future, it aims to seamlessly connect customers' mobility and daily lives.
Design Points
A sophisticated design that eliminates edges wherever possible, with surfaces connected seamlessly
Circular motifs are used throughout the design of the Honda e. Inspired by this iconic design, which exudes a sense of familiarity yet solidity, this watch creates a soft flow of light that connects the box sapphire crystal to the white ceramic outer case within its taut curved form.
All parts except the case back are fully polished, giving it a high-quality texture that evokes a sense of transparency. The dial design also eliminates functional impressions as much as possible, resulting in a modern, minimalist design, with the hands and indexes featuring the Honda e's "circle motif." The case back follows the Honda e's wheel design and is marked with the logo and serial number.
Details tailored to match the high-quality interior design of the Honda e
The interior of the Honda e is designed to bring a modern living room outside, providing a seamless experience that makes you feel at home while inside the car. The console deck is unified with a wood grain finish, and the seat fabric has been newly developed with a sofa-like image in mind.
In keeping with the essence of this interior design, which is packed with proposals for a new lifestyle, this model features interchangeable straps made from a special sheet material exclusive to the Honda e. Changing the straps gives the watch a gentler, more approachable appearance. In addition, the special box is crafted from wood with a texture similar to the wood-grain sheeting on the console deck.

(※1) Super Black DiaShield
Its practical hardness (including the hardness of the coating and base material) is approximately 1.5 times that of conventional hard coatings and approximately 1.2 times that of Seiko's proprietary surface processing technology, DiaShield, making it highly scratch-resistant. It is also resistant to peeling and achieves a jet-black shine without color unevenness.
(※2) For the time zone and DST (Daylight Saving Time) data built into the listed products, please check our website (www.seikowatches.com). Changes in the time zone and DST (Daylight Saving Time) implementation information will not be reflected. Manual time zone selection and manual DST (Daylight Saving Time) setting are required.
(※3) Super Smart Sensor
Seiko's proprietary technology automatically corrects the time up to twice a day. When sunlight hits the dial, such as when you are out, the reception timing is automatically adjusted and GPS satellite signal reception begins. The watch also remembers the time of the last successful manual reception and automatically adjusts the time at that time. *Reception will not occur when the watch is insufficiently charged. Time zone adjustment is required when moving between time zones.
