The Lorier x Worn & Wound Astra Stargazer is a limited-edition timepiece from a collaboration between two New York City-based icons: Lorier, a popular microbrand, and Worn & Wound, a renowned publication. With a vintage-inspired aesthetic and modern functionality, this 36mm stainless steel watch is set to captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike. Its sleek profile, measuring 11mm thick with a domed acrylic crystal, makes it a comfortable and versatile option. The watch also boasts a 100m water resistance and a screw-down crown for durability.
What sets the Astra Stargazer apart is its unique, luminescent dial design. It features a rotating gray disc for the hour marker, surrounded by a luminous ring, and complemented by a large circle minute hand with a glowing triangle pointer. The three-spoke seconds hand is equally intriguing, with lume pips at the ends, glowing in a mix of blue and green Super-LumiNova, creating a mesmerizing nighttime display.
Powered by the reliable Miyota 90S5 automatic movement, the Astra Stargazer promises precision and a 42-hour power reserve. The watch comes on a gray suede strap, but its design versatility means it pairs well with a variety of straps for different looks. Limited to just 200 pieces and priced at $499, this stunning collaboration is available through the Worn & Wound Windup Shop, with shipping set for December 2024.
