The Seiko Astron SSH173J1 x Médecins Sans Frontières Limited Edition is an exciting watch where Seiko has taken their classic design and updated it with GPS connectivity. With it's 43.3mm diameter case (excluding crown) the  SSH173J1 is a very comfortable and most of all practical companion. Of course the watch is water resistant to 100m and the beautiful dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with super clear coating. The movement powering all this is the Seiko Cal. 5X83 Solar GPS movement, which is solar powered and extremely accurate. The bracelet has a ceramic center link, which matches the white ceramic bezel.

The Seiko Cal. 5X83 movement connects to GPS satellites, so it automatically adjust to the local time zone, ensuring you are always in sync with the world, regardless of your location. Powering this is done by the integrated solar cells, that can charge the watch up to 6 months with a full charge. Of course the movement has a plethora of features, such as a perpetual calendar until 2100, power reserve indicator, world time (39 timeszones), dual timezones, automatic hand alignment and a power save feature. And one of the nicest features of all, the 5X83 is the first Astron GPS Solar movement to feature a chronograph complication!

The SSH173J1 has a a unique blend of styles at a quality and finishing level that feels more grand than the price tag demands and is limited to just 800 pieces worldwide. It is a special collaboration with Médecins Sans Frontières, Doctors without Borders, and comes with a matching colour scheme.

  3 year warranty

  Seiko watches come with a 3 year warranty. This covers all mechanical malfunction arising from parts failure and/or assembly errors. Excluded are parts that by their nature may not last 3 years, like batteries and leather straps, damage/problems caused by improper use and wear and tear. We stand behind the brands that we sell and the quality that they offer.
  Some of our brands also offer an international warranty, which will also apply.

  Service and parts

  In the unfortunate event of a problem with your watch, you simply need to send it to us (or take it to another dealer if the brand offers an international warranty). We have access to the official service centers, where only original parts are used and the watchmakers are qualified and experienced with your type of watch. Not every watch movement is the same, so it's best if it's handled by people who know what they are doing.
  After your 2 years warranty has expired we are able to offer service in most cases.
