With distinctive horizontal patterning to reinforce the solidity of the design, the gray dial, complete with three-dimensional applied indices and LumiBrite hands and markers for superior visibility, is framed by a black sapphire crystal bezel providing subtle dimensionality, shine and enhanced scratch-resistance. Crafted of light and durable titanium, with a super-hard coating for added endurance and H-shaped links for smooth wearing comfort, this superb timepiece also offers a sapphire crystal with super-clear coating, secure screwdown caseback and tri-fold push button release clasp. 10 bar, 100M Water Resistant

Nice thorough review. There’s a lot to like on this watch. I’ve had a similar watch in my collection for over a decade as a travel watch, a Citizen EcoDrive World Time AT. This has some major improvements over that one that I see - titanium case, so 2/3 the weight; modern GPS time setting instead of radio setting, second time zone with time zone switching; and a micro adjust on the bracelet. The dial is busy, but all of the features have a use. Strong entrant and I think a good purchase for a luxury watch collector who spends some time in airplanes. Thanks
Sporting my Seiko Astron SSE015. Still craving the SSH113.
1 second every 100000 years! Holy Batman!!!
Great review of a cool watch!
Very nice and informative video. Subscribed.
While watching the video I'm wearing my Omega PO 39.5mm watch. I'm here because I'm looking for a grab-and-go accurate watch, that is lighter and slimmer than this diver - all while looking good in any setting, from the office to the playground. The Omega would be reserved for special occasions and formal events.
A few years back I had a first generation Astron that I loved, but ultimately sold for being too big. I want something like that again in a more wearable package.
I'd like to choose between this and the new SSH117. Also thinking about the SSH069 and SSH079 for slightly less bling.
Fantastiskt fin klocka verkligen tilfreds med min. Seiko astron Titan klocka...
Great video. One thing that you could emphasize on your next review of an Astron is the dual time function for watch guys that are traveling. I have many mechanical watches but want a “travel watch”, something under the radar, with dual time capabilities. This or the Citizen Navihawk might just be the right one…
Please call my wife and tell her that you think this timepiece would look perfect on my wrist. I wish to thank you in advance for your service.
Haha just send us the number and we will do the rest!
I’m wearing a modified Orient ray 2 with domed double coated saphire crystal. Thank you very much for this great content😊
Thank you for sharing! I have a Mako in my personal collection ;). I'll keep the content coming!
Great review and videography.
Much appreciated! Thank you for watching!
This is the first video about the Astron I’ve seen that actually revealed the hidden adjustable clasp. I am interest in getting one but was terrified that the clasp wasn’t adjustable and I hate that in an integrated bracelet. Thank you for showing me.
I try to be thorough! Thank you for watching!
Great review, I have an Astron SSH123 (titanium, Super Nova).
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Chris's reviews are always focused on both the collector and just someone who wants a great watch. Sure, there are a lot of watches that come close to the Astron, but none of them match this quality and of course, the "wrist impact". Lastly, you just can't beat Little Treasury Jewelers for their sales and service. Give Little Treasury a try, you'll be glad you did.
Thank you Erin, and of course congrats on your ssh113! I almost picked that one up myself before my vacation but I knew you were coming lol!
Professional review, thanxs for doing it!
I was waiting for it!
In time of your video I waring my Astron SSH021, and love it a LOT!
Personally, I dont like Techno like design of SSH113 you reciewed, and dont like square look.
I also prefeered much more courved Sapphire over flat one.
Cheers from Europe.
I appreciate the feedback, and thank you for watching! Awesome SSH021!
Hi,good vid,im suprise how it does look great even on a 6.5 inch wrist,mine is 7 so i guess it will just fine ?
I'm wearing the Starking AM0184, because it's the only watch I could find (that I liked) that's under $100 that's automatic, sapphire class and (decorated) see through case back. Got it as a replacement for my Seiko SNKL45K1 after I dropped it after owning it for just one week :(
I know Starking doesn't really count as a watch manufacturer since they replicate swiss movements but apart from that, I think it's one of the best automatic watches you can get for this money. The fact that it's real leather at this price with these kind of features is stunning to me. It's also got a blue second hand, 25 jewels and an alleged 10 ticks per second (pretty sure it's 6 though). And to be fair it wasn't even $100, more like half that because I got a set (mens + womens) for $100 👀
This astron is definitely on my wishlist though after Ripple gets its bullrun, together with the Grand Seiko SLGH005 😍
I will be rooting for Ripple, and will have that SLGH005 ready to go!
It’s hard for me to want to let go of my NeoBrite Illuminator on my Mudmaster. I need a backlight, not just lume.
Wearing the Casio Oceanus G2000 watch because it's also solar powered and has GPS satelite and bluetooth as well as radio controlled. The seiko does look nice though thinking about getting one.
Thanks for sharing, I've heard great things about the Oceanus!
Wearing a hamilton ventura ! love the retro future look.
Nice! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for the review. This watch is simply outstanding, feature- and aesthetics-wise. One point is not quite clear though: is it possible to shorten the bracelet with its tapered design?
Seiko has many watches with that tapered design, and they’re all adjustable. You can add and remove links.
I'm wearing the purple nebula astron.
Very awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Casio G shock with bluetooth, solar, 200m water resistance and a titanium case and bracelet from aliexpress. Because it is always accurate to the second, needs no batteries and it is comfortable to wear.
Thank you for the great review. What is the life expectancy of the rechargeable batteries via solar? Is it expected that the battery needs to replaced every 7-10 years? If I were in US - I would certainly visit you but little far away in New Zealand.
My pleasure! Just make the flight over, it's not that far ;). Usually 15 years is fair, I've seen them last much longer and also fail prematurely.
@@Littletreasury thank you! Are they easily replaceable and straight forward to obtain? It would be a shame to have an obsolete non working watch just because of the battery. Thank you very much!
Please do a review on the Astron SSH073. :-)
Great idea Robert! I actually have one in stock right now. Perhaps you will see this in the future.
It would be great to see this in person. Do you have any of these in stock?
Hey Todd, yes we do have one. Let me know!
Thanks for the note. I'll see if I can get up that way sometime soon. I'll give you a call before coming by.
I’m surprised by how illegible the subdials look on this piece, usually Seiko are all over this. I think for me I would always prefer a tough solar, multi band 6 G Shock for this sort of watch that you never have to think about. I do love the grey colour way though!
Thank you for the feedback!
Check out the Astron SSH073 it's a real beauty
Is this particular watch in stock at your store?
Hi Wayne, this piece is sold at at this point unfortunately. We do have plenty of other interesting Astrons though. Including the new version SSJ017 littletreasury.com/collections/seiko?pf_t_collection=Astron
I just got mine. I unpacked it but my bracelet does not have the same sealing. I have the tag but one side of the bracelet has no plastic folia on it and the other only has it at the top 2 links to the not all the way down. I guess it was opened and taken off. I'm planning to return it explaining that it's not new. Is this normal that every watch does not have the same sealing?
Hi, where did you get it from? Was it an authorized dealer? The plastic can be inconsistent, but perhaps it was in a display case before being shipped out. I don't think that it is fair to say that it isn't new-- it most likely is.
@@Littletreasury It was an authorized dealer. But I understand that they have to test it. I will keep it. What surprised me the most is the handling of the functions. It's super easy. Does it really automatically search for the sattelite? In the manual I cannot find info about how to check the last update of the search.
@@bmwforlife6951 While the watch left sub-dial indicator is displaying the power reserve, as is normal, press and release the A button (top). This will display the type of last GPS reception (1 for time sync-only or 4+ for timezone and time sync) and whether reception was successful (Y) or not (N).
I have an SSH135 with the same movement module (5X53) and I can confirm that my watch does indeed automatically sync it's time to 1 GPS satellite when it detects the bright light of being outside in the day.
What this movement does not do is automatically check the timezone and then set the time, as this is a function which must be manually started (by pressing and holding the bottom B button for 3 seconds).
If you find that your watch failed it's last GPS reception time sync (for example if it was exposed to bright light whilst indoors and far from a window) and you want to force it to try again when you are outside, you can press and hold the top A button for 3 seconds to achieve that.
What makes the bracelet proprietary?
If you pause the video around the 2:27 mark, note how narrow the distance between the lugs is. Only 14mm. This means that this watch needs the integrated bracelet which it comes with.
Unless of course you can find a watch band that is only 14mm and you're okay with how that looks! ;)
No month indicator?
Rarely would a Month indicator be included on a piece like this. That is a very specific complication.
Hi i just got mine and the minute hand is off by less then 0,5mm betwen the 7 and 12 oclock,is it a big issue or i should forget about it,ty
Hi Pierre, it sounds like it is a subtle issue and I recommend taking a breath and waiting a few days to see if this still bothers you. If so, I'm sure it could be fixed by the factory, or fixed when you send it in for service in the future.
@@Littletreasury Hi,ty for ur feedback,maybe im a little to perfectionist,but for a 3k watch i want it to be right on the spot,but i will do what u said to me.ty again
@@pierrejoly205 Hello Pierre. Take a look in the manual for the 5X53 movement and you might be pleased to find that there is a procedure for manually aligning misaligned hands.
@@beardymcbeardface69 Hi,ty for ur feedback but i cant find something about procedure for manually aligning misaligned hands.I did looked at it several time in the pass and couldnt find what so ever.If you know more pls tell me,ty
@@beardymcbeardface69 It does not work to adjust accuracy of the watch or slight misalignment which may occur during the manufacturing process.
Wearing the Aquaterra Small Seconds cause I eventually had to take the SNR051 off! So this thing is like Quartz Hybrid (Solar & Battery)? It's nice but too techno for me. Say No to quartz!
We all should say no to quartz because they are too techno for you?
You're too techno too unless you're using a sun watch.
"Say No to quartz!"
Your SNR051 Spring Drive uses quartz time keeping!
"Quartz Hybrid (Solar & Battery)"
Not sure what you mean by hybrid here, with relation to solar and battery. All watches which use quartz timekeeping, require electrical power which could come from a battery or capacitor (with both of these able to be charged by a solar cell) or otherwise a traditional mainspring driving a generator, as is the case with Spring Drive.
If anything, the closest thing to a quartz hybrid would be your Spring Drive, since it uses quartz time keeping to *_slow_* the watch movement, as opposed to traditional quartz movements which use quartz time keeping to *_advance_* the movement.
Hopefully you might one day be able to appreciate the horological value of different types of timekeeping. I have Swiss automatic and quartz watches, including a Seiko Astron and have my eye on some Spring Drives.
The Astron's are accurate to between 1 second every 100,000 years and 1 second every 100,000,000 years (depending on the model of satellite time synced to), for a watch that is merely solar powered! From a horological standpoint, this is pretty incredible.
Tell wife divorced
gorgeous please give me a email i can contact a professional about your watches and company thanks in advance
Hi Johnny, please view the description of this video for all of our contact information. We look forward to working with you!
You look like someone who would show up at a Chris Hansen sting house.
I've been called many things, but a child predator is a new one! Someone as clever as you would love an Astron!
