I think the day will come, but for the time being there are so few high-end solar-powered watches. I am really tempted by this one, but I wish I had more choice.

Oh wow, radio synced perpetual calendar too! Love a watch with a date complication you don't need to mess with ~ every other month
Thanks for posting, I'm going to have a think here, might have a Junghans entering the collection soon ๐
The Seiko Prospex solar and astron gps solar might also fit, while being on the sportier side if less "luxurious".
I've already ordered this guy, will post when I get it (am thinking probably a brown strap right now, the stock strap is turrible)

That looks like a nice watch, but it might be a bit too busy for my taste. However, I do like it.
Astron is busy but Seiko Prospex solar divers aren't .
I had never really considered the Astron. I love the functionality and some of the dials I like, but something about that watch just does not grab me. Maybe with another strap. It's now on my watch list though.
