Powerful design for dynamic use
The case of the Astron GPS Solar Chronograph is crafted from robust titanium or stainless steel and measures approximately 44 to 47 mm, depending on the model—ideally proportioned for a sporty statement on the wrist. The lines are powerful, with polished edges, a striking bezel (often made of ceramic), and ergonomically shaped pushers. Despite its technical complexity, the watch remains comfortable to wear—particularly thanks to the use of lightweight titanium.
The dial is functionally designed: Three subdials display the 24-hour time, minutes, and seconds of the chronograph. Additionally, there's a date display, a world time indicator, and an AM/PM hand. The applied indices and hands are extensively coated with luminous material, ensuring perfect legibility. Sporty, restrained colors dominate: black, blue, gray, and red create strong contrasts.
Bracelets made of metal or rubber, combined with safety folding clasps, offer a secure fit when moving – whether in everyday life, when traveling or in a sporting environment.
