Paul Rich Astro Galaxy Black — 42mm Quartz Dress Watch
About this watch
Tonneau-shaped and unmistakably modern, the Astro Galaxy Black sets a deep aventurine-stone dial in a frosted black case — natural mineral flecks catching the light like a pocket of deep space on the wrist.
Design
The barrel case breaks from the round-watch norm, with luminous hands and markers for day-or-night legibility and Paul Rich's signature 3D astronaut engraved on the caseback beneath “Per Aspera Ad Astra.” Frosted stainless steel adds a diamond-dust shimmer.
Movement & wear
A Swiss-made Ronda quartz movement keeps it accurate and low-maintenance. Rated to 5 ATM (50m) with an anti-static premium rubber strap and deployant clasp, it handles rain and daily wear — keep it clear of swimming and diving.
Who it's for
A bold, cosmic statement piece that still wears easy, dressed up or down.
New, boxed and warrantied — free US shipping.
Questions & answers
What is the dial made of?
It is genuine aventurine - a natural mineral quartz shot through with tiny inclusions that glitter like a night sky, so no two dials are exactly alike.
Is the movement Swiss?
Yes - a Swiss-made Ronda quartz, marked Swiss Movement on the dial. It is accurate and maintenance-free, with no winding needed.
How big is the case and how does it wear?
The tonneau (barrel) case measures 42.5mm in frosted stainless steel - a confident, modern presence that still sits comfortably thanks to the curved case and soft rubber strap.
Can I wear it in water?
It is rated to 5 ATM (50m), so rain, splashes and hand-washing are fine. We would keep it away from swimming, showering and diving.
What is on the caseback, and is it authentic?
A 3D astronaut engraving with the motto Per Aspera Ad Astra. Every piece is sourced through Paul Rich's verified channel and ships brand-new, boxed and warrantied, with free insured US shipping.
Customer reviews
The Astro Galaxy Black is the perfect blend of modern Tonneau shape and stealthy black aesthetic. The aventurine dial gives it just enough pop.
I was tired of basic round dials. This Paul Rich shape hugs the wrist great and the black coating feels very scratch resistant.
It's an amazing watch, but because of the Tonneau case, it wears pretty big. Solid 4 stars. Very happy with the build quality.
He loves the all-black stealth look. The way the dial looks like outer space completely won him over. Best gift!
The weight of the steel and the flawless execution of the dial make it feel like a very expensive luxury piece. Highly recommend.
