As announced in the press release ( http://news.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-112/pi-6795088/ti-973163/s-0/t-news-central-the-seiko-astron-gps-solar-chronograph-styled-by-giugiaro-design/ ), SEIKO launched Astron Limited Edition designed by Giugiaro.  Giugiaro was the "idol" of the super cars in my generation when I was much younger and he is still in the industrial design arena is a great news.


Here you go!


















Looks pretty much like a racing car smile



Comes with the leather strap with tri-color stitches, which matches the watch very well.







Astron is in general a bit too big watch, but with this looks - completely a sport watch - it works pretty well smile

The two-tone bracelet projects the appearance of racing stripes . . .

. . . which just might be a first - I can't remember ever seeing that treatment before. Cool stuff, Ken - thanks for reporting this one! Art

Are those white links ceramic?

It looks like a lot of fun & I like the design. On some of the other models, I don't like the bezel with the city codes.

Does the U.S. Strap vary from the one you saw?

Ken, Here\'s the strap we\'ll get. I don\'t see so much red on your photos. ...  

Well, that could be a bit controversial...
