The Seiko Astron x Médecins Sans Frontières Limited Edition Watch
The Case and Dial
Inspired by the Médecins Sans Frontières logo, this limited edition timepiece features a striking red and white colour scheme. The white solar-powered dial includes three chronograph sub-dials and a date window positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock. Silver-tone baton indices and Lumibrite-coated hour and minute hands enhance visibility, while the red second hand adds a bold touch. For durability and clarity, the dial is protected by dual-curved sapphire crystal glass, ensuring it withstands everyday wear and tear.
The watch features a 43.3mm super-hard coated titanium case, making it both durable and lightweight for all-day comfort. Its versatile size suits a variety of wrist shapes, ensuring anyone can wear it with confidence. A white ceramic bezel with Arabic numerals surrounds the dial. Not only does this enhance readability but it works hand in hand with the chronograph function. The screw-down case back features an engraving of the MSF logo and the watch’s limited edition number for an exclusive touch. Moreover, the watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters, thanks to its well-designed crown.

This limited-edition collaboration showcases the in-house 5X83 calibre with solar GPS technology, ensuring precise and instant time adjustment anywhere in the world.
