Seiko rereleases astronaut digital watch

Seiko has reintroduced its Rotocall digital watch, originally released in 1982 and notably used by NASA astronauts, including Sally Ride, until 2002. This resurrected model retains the unique mode-switching design and basic LCD functionality of the original, offering a blend of retro aesthetics and practical features. While the new version features minor design updates, it aims to capture the essence of the iconic timepiece that accompanied space missions. The original Rotocall was priced at $125, and the rereleased model is available in three variations, appealing to both watch enthusiasts and those interested in space exploration history.
