{"product_id":"seiko-a239-world-time-watch-gizmo","title":"Seiko A239 World Time watch","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIn 1979, Seiko asked a question nobody had quite answered yet: what if a watch could show you the time anywhere in the world, not as a number you had to calculate, but as a map you could simply read?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe A239 World Time used two separate LCD modules to do it - one for the time, one for a world map with 19 selectable time zones, each highlighted as a glowing segment on the dial. You didn't need to do mental arithmetic about Tokyo or New York. You just looked at the map. For a watch produced at the turn of the 1980s, it was a genuinely elegant solution to a real problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe gold-tone version - brown dial frame, red map LCD - is the most visually striking of the A239 variants, and the one illustrated here. Small by the standards of modern watches at just 33mm, it has the purposeful density of a device designed to do something specific and do it well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis print from the Gizmo collection captures the Seiko A239 in precise technical illustration - one of the more ingenious pieces of wrist-worn technology from an era when Japanese watchmakers were quietly reinventing what a watch could be.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Axisophy","offers":[{"title":"Large (50 × 70 cm | 20 × 28 in)","offer_id":45864084471969,"sku":"AXS-GIZ-SEIKWT-P-500x700-AM-COL","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"XLarge (70 × 100 cm | 28 × 40 in)","offer_id":45864084504737,"sku":"AXS-GIZ-SEIKWT-P-1000x700-AM-COL","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0483\/1546\/5889\/files\/Axisophy-SeikoA239WorldTime-mockup-1.jpg?v=1773839085","url":"https:\/\/axisophy.com\/products\/seiko-a239-world-time-watch-gizmo","provider":"Axisophy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
