Hmmmmmm..... Astron might be going mainstream
This on Seiko’s website. Not available until September, 41.4 mm, no ceramic bezel. Looks a bit GS almost. Read more here https://www.seikowatches.com/global-en/news/20190321-8

Normal size pushers, too.

I wish they'd do an affordable Quartz Astron reissue in stainless steel.

I’m curious about the case shape, myself. Looking at it head on, it almost looks like the case has sloped sides a la MM 300. Could be a more interesting case shape than one flat picture shows.

I think I need to see real world photos of this. If it’s GS quality finishing this could be a winner. With the lume this could be a great watch for work for me. My autos are pretty accurate but with it being radio controlled it would make confirming accuracy when I start working much quicker since it’s required to verify on my paperwork when I start. I wish there was a diver with a bezel that had atomic function that worked in the US. So far I’m only aware of Citizen doing it and they don’t work in the US.

Amusing railroad timekeeping anecdote: My father had an Orsa field watch that he found on the ground. Pretty amazing, seeing as they weren't mass produced. Anyway, it was flaky...stopping and starting, even with a fresh battery. Not realizing how cheap and easy it would be for me to swap in a new movement, he rolled over it with whatever engine he was at the throttle of that day...maybe even the entire consist, but I think he was on a yard job, so probably just the one engine.
