Lorier x Worn & Wound Astra Stargazer Watch

When it comes to watches that capture the imagination and speak to our sense of wonder, the Lorier x Worn & Wound Astra Stargazer Watch ($499) is a prime example. Drawing inspiration from the mysteries of the universe, the allure of the stars, and the aesthetics of the space age, this timepiece is designed to evoke the feeling of staring into the night sky and getting lost in its endless possibilities. The Astra Stargazer is the third collaboration between Lorier and Worn & Wound, and it is certainly their most adventurous creation yet.

Built on Lorier’s classic 36mm case, the Astra Stargazer is a nod to mid-century aesthetics with its timeless proportions and understated elegance. However, this isn’t just a vintage-inspired watch—it’s a unique blend of the old and new, combining classic design elements with a futuristic twist. The dial, rendered in cosmic grey, immediately captures the eye. The centre of the dial features a rotating disk adorned with a mysterious series of rings cut by twelve lines, evoking celestial maps and space gateways. This rotating disk isn’t just for show; it dynamically pulls you in while conveniently indicating the current hour via a lume-filled triangle.

Adding to the allure of the Astra Stargazer is the impressive use of luminescence. A wide band of lumed material breaks up the dial, creating a bold graphic statement that comes to life in low light. At night, the luminescence creates glowing, otherworldly shapes, reminiscent of stargazing on a clear night. The hands of the watch are equally captivating: a tri-spoked seconds hand features one green and two blue dots, hovering above the dial like distant planets. Meanwhile, the minute hand, topped with a lumed triangular tip, orbits the dial in a motion akin to the steady movement of a moon—a subtle detail that underscores the astronomical theme.

The watch’s stainless steel case measures 36mm in diameter, 44mm in length, and 11mm in thickness, giving it the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern sensibility. It’s mounted on a grey suede strap that complements the cosmic grey dial beautifully, adding a touch of warmth and texture. On the wrist, the Astra Stargazer exudes a sense of sci-fi nostalgia, effortlessly blending the appeal of a vintage timepiece with the intrigue of the space age.

Inside, the Lorier x Worn & Wound Astra Stargazer is powered by the Miyota 90S5 calibre. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, this movement is known for its reliability and precision, making it a fitting choice for a watch inspired by the mysteries of time and space. The lens is crafted from box acrylic, giving it that vintage vibe, while the water resistance rating of 100 meters ensures it’s as practical as it is captivating.

Limited to just 200 units, the Astra Stargazer is a rare gem that captures the imagination of those who dream of distant galaxies and the allure of the unknown. With its cosmic design cues, dynamic dial, and thoughtful details, this watch is perfect for the modern adventurer who wants a timepiece that tells more than just the time—it tells a story of exploration, wonder, and timeless curiosity.
