Seiko Astron SSH131
More actions
The Seiko Astron SSH131 is the Leon S. Kennedy half of the pair Seiko made with Capcom for Resident Evil: Death Island. An all-black titanium case treated with Seiko's Super Black Diamond Shield carries a grey dial, chosen against the denim and leather Leon wears in the film, on a black calf strap, with the Astron's city codes engraved around the side of the bezel rather than across its face. The GPS solar calibre 5X53 sets itself from satellite time, and both watches in the pair use a blue-glowing LumiBrite that the standard Astrons do not.
Six hundred were made, three hundred of them sold in Japan as the SBXC131, each numbered on a caseback carrying the film's logo. Unlike most film tie-ins, this is also the watch on screen: Seiko states that Leon and Chris appear in the film wearing Astron models created for it. Its counterpart is the Seiko Astron SSH129.
