Seiko Astron GPS Solar Kintaro Hattori 160th Anniversary Limited Edition SSH073J1 – A Tribute to the Pioneer Spirit

The Seiko Astron GPS Solar Kintaro Hattori 160th Anniversary Limited Edition SSH073J1 celebrates the visionary legacy of Kintaro Hattori, the founder of Seiko. Inspired by the impressive innovative power with which he led the company to the forefront of the watch industry, this exclusive anniversary watch combines cutting-edge technology with top-notch design.

A Journey Through Time – The Story Behind the Model

Kintaro Hattori was born in Tokyo in 1860, a time of profound changes in Japan. At just 17 years old, he opened a small repair shop and soon founded a company that quickly became synonymous with precision, innovation, and quality.

In 2012, Seiko revolutionized the watch industry with the world's first GPS solar watch. The Seiko Astron connects to the GPS network at the push of a button and automatically adjusts to any time zone – with the precision of an atomic clock. Now, Seiko is launching another masterpiece with the Kintaro Hattori 160th Anniversary Edition that honors the spirit of its founder.

Exquisite design and high-tech materials

The titanium case with black hard coating and the high-gloss bezel made of zirconium ceramic give the watch an impressive elegance. The sixteen facets of the bezel symbolize the 16 decades since the birth of Kintaro Hattori.

Noble gold-colored accents emphasize the luxurious character of this model, while the titanium bracelet ensures pleasant wearing comfort. The stylish black dial with finely crafted details makes a clear statement and unites modernity with tradition.

Technological Masterpiece – Seiko Astron GPS Solar

The watch is equipped with the latest Seiko Astron GPS Solar Caliber 5X53 and offers the highest precision as well as worldwide connectivity. Thanks to solar technology, no battery change is required – the watch derives all its energy from light.

With just the push of a button, the local time automatically adjusts to the current time zone, no matter where in the world the wearer is located. The perpetual calendar remains always accurate, and the dual-time function allows for the simultaneous display of a second time zone.

Exclusive collector's edition with unique details

This 2,500 piece limited edition is not only a technical masterpiece but also a coveted collector's item. The case back bears Kintaro Hattori's name as well as his motto:

👉 "One step ahead of the rest"

Additionally, the historical Seiko "S" trademark from the year 1900 as well as the company name first used in 1924 are engraved on the back.

The watch is delivered in a noble gift box that contains a commemorative plaque with the "S" trademark and a personal message from Shinji Hattori, the great-grandson of the founder and current CEO of Seiko.
