Seiko Astron Japan Airlines 70th Anniversary Limited Edition (Brand-new)

Condition: New

Selling my Seiko Astron SBXY075, collaboration with Japan Airlines (JAL), limited to 500 pieces and produced to commemorate seven decades of one of the world’s most respected airlines.

The dial is a standout feature, finished with a runway-textured pattern that evokes the surface of an airport runway. Red accents appear not only on the dial but also on the pushers and crown, a deliberate reference to the unmistakable red of the Japan Airlines logo. This emblem is famously based on the Japanese Red-Crowned Crane.

Further emphasising its global travel narrative, the ceramic bezel is marked with airport codes including HND (Tokyo Haneda) and SFO (San Francisco), a subtle tribute to Japan Airlines’ international routes and its role as a global flag carrier. These thoughtful details clearly distinguish the SBXY075 from standard Astron production models.

***********************************************

Hi there! I’m a long-time watch enthusiast and collector with over 20 years of experience in the hobby. I’m mainly into Japanese watches: Grand Seiko, high-end Seiko, Casio Oceanus — basically anything that offers great value and proper watchmaking without the silly price tags. I like watches that punch above their weight, and that’s exactly the type I tend to buy, wear, and sell.

Every watch I sell is carefully inspected and photographed by me. I take pride in showing the watch honestly — no hidden marks, no stock photos, no surprises. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you’ll receive.

I’m based in Lixnaw, Co. Kerry and have built a solid track record here on Adverts.ie for being straightforward, reliable, and easy to deal with. I don’t entertain lowballing, as my prices are already fair. Lowballers and other 'exotic offer' experts, please ignore this sale.
And just to be fully clear: I’m not looking for swaps or part exchanges. I prefer straight cash sales only.

All my watches are graded using my standardised condition scale:

N (New) — unworn condition. Typically includes full set (box, papers, tags).

S (Like New) — almost indistinguishable from new. No visible scratches or marks. Crystal and case flawless.

A (Excellent) — Lightly worn with minimal signs of use. Minor hairline scratches visible only on close inspection.

V (Very good) — Gently used with only minor signs of use; the crystal may carry minor traces consistent with normal wear, but they do not stand out. Overall condition remains clean and attractive.

B (Good) — Regularly worn with moderate signs of use. Noticeable scratches on case or bracelet; crystal may have faint marks but remains in good condition.

C (Fair) — Clearly worn with pronounced scratches, dings, or crystal marks. Functional but cosmetic wear is obvious; may benefit from servicing.

Cheers!
Jake
