Automatic watch at €190: what you can expect
€190 for an automatic watch. That's a budget that can buy a lot of mediocre things — or one really good thing, if the right choices have been made.
Here's what A★Star puts into every watch at this price.
Double-sided sapphire crystal
No mineral glass. No compromises. Synthetic sapphire is the second hardest material after diamond — it won't scratch with daily use. The double-sided anti-reflective coating ensures perfect legibility in all lighting conditions.
Japanese NH35 movement
The NH35 is manufactured in Japan by Seiko Instruments. 24 jewels, 72-hour power reserve, transparent sapphire case back. It's one of the most reliable automatic movements in its category — used by manufacturers who choose durability over marketing.
Sparkling starry dial
A dial that shimmers differently depending on the light. Not a print, not a wallpaper — a physical surface that reacts to its environment. Each dial is slightly different from the others.
Constellation case in 316L steel
316L stainless steel is surgical grade — corrosion-resistant, hypoallergenic, strong. The Constellation case with its notched bezel is designed to last for years without degrading.
Assembled in France, individually tested
Each watch is hand-assembled. Tested on a timegrapher (-15/+15 seconds per day). Water-resistance tested to 5 ATM. Checked for 48 hours. No exceptions.
2-year warranty
Because we test each watch individually, we can guarantee our work. Two years covering any manufacturing defect.
What can you expect for €190? Exactly this.
A★Star — Born in the dark. Made to shine.
