Chronograph, Dual-Time, World-Time and now Big-Date. The range of Astron GPS Solar calibers continues to grow in line with the ever-widening demand for this most intelligent and useful of watch technologies. The new 8X42 brings to four the number of active GPS Solar calibers in the Astron range and adds a new note of relaxed elegance to the Astron design.

This new series will be released in September 2017.

The Astron dress watch has arrived.

Like all Astron GPS Solar calibers, 8X42 offers the remarkable ability to adjust to local time, anywhere¹ in the world, at the touch of a button and using just the power of light. With the addition of the big date window, the inclusion of a dual-time dial at the six o’clock position and new, slimmer hands, the new designs have a refinement that makes them as perfect for an evening out as they are for international travel. With several versions featuring roman numerals for the first time in any Astron design and with more components having mirrorfinished surfaces, the Astron dress watch has truly arrived.

¹ If there are changes in the region / time zone, manual time zone selection may be required.

The 8X42 core collection comprises four models in stainless steel and three in titanium, but all offer a remarkable level of scratch resistance thanks to their ceramic bezels, sapphire crystals and the super-hard coatings that they all share. Indeed a new coating technology allows even the rose gold tone designs to be highly resistant to scratches, ensuring that the luxury look of every Astron 8X42 watch lasts as long as possible.
