The Odyssey: 

The brand’s name and first release was inspired by the classical text “The Odyssey”. Argos is the protagonist’s faithful dog whose loyalty withstood the test of time. Inspired by this, Argos Watches seeks to mimic the long-lasting fellowship this dog had brought to Odysseus through its watches. 

The word "odyssey" refers to an adventure or journey. This watch was built to join its wearer on their own odyssey, ringing true to the brand’s promise of bringing reliable, utilitarian, yet elegant timepieces.

Crafted with culture and adventure in mind, the ASTERI marks the newest standard in Argos' mastery of the go-anywhere-do-anything (GADA) watches. This versatile timepiece boasts a sleek, minimalist design that transitions seamlessly from rugged outdoor excursions to sophisticated city nights.

Capturing the Philippines' verdant landscapes and celestial nightscapes, the Asteri's Forest Green and Midnight Blue colors draw inspiration from the Sierra Madre mountains.

The Forest Green dial reflects the lush and vibrant greens of the mountain range during the day. This verdant hue not only encapsulates the landscape's natural beauty but also evokes a sense of vitality and freshness.

In contrast, the Midnight Blue dial represents the deep blues that envelop the mountain range during the tranquil night. This shade conveys a sense of serenity and mystery, capturing the atmospheric beauty of the Sierra Madre after sundown.
