Created by Hideo Uehara, the Astrodea Celestial Watch is back, and improved with better contrast and color balance. The stars on the face rotate just as they are in real time, with one full rotation taking 23h56m4s. We offer both the Northern and Southern hemispheres of the Celestial version right here, and the Lunar “Moon Age” watch here. These new Astrodea editions are limited to only 500 pieces for the Northern Hemisphere and 300 for the Southern, so supplies are very limited.

- Equinox indications
- Constellation markers
- Location of the sun
- Solar position
- Sunrise and sunset times
