First post here. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Astron in this community, or even on r/Watches. I know those ones might not be everyone’s favourite, but I find some of them truly beautiful. It's a dial to be savoured in three dimensions, where you can't help but appreciate the magnificent work done by Seiko on the aesthetics of these watches. Some may find their avant-gardiste side uninteresting but I find that to be at least intriguing. The fact that a brand as big as Seiko is still pushing interesting innovations in a relatively conservative sector is something I particularly like.
