This solar-powered chronograph timepiece is from the Prospex Speedtimer watch collection which represents Seiko’s professional timekeeping heritage.
In the 1960s, Seiko announced itself on the international sports timing stage with a whole new generation of high-precision equipment endorsed by international sports federations at many of the world's leading sports events. The glass-blue colour and sunray pattern of the dial are designed to represent the crystal trophy awarded to athletes in high-profile competitions.
It is designed with the same size specifications as the most popular Prospex Speedtimers: 41.4mm. The sapphire crystal glass has strong scratch resistance as well as an anti-reflective coating on its inner surface. As a Prospex Speedtimer, this piece has a chronograph functionality, allowing it to measure elapsed time, as well as the time of day.
It is powered by the in-house Solar V192 calibre and can be charged from both natural and artificial light conditions to maintain an accuracy of +/- 15 seconds per month. It has a useful power reserve indicator at 7 o'clock.
Prospex is a combination of the words ‘Professional’ and ‘Specifications.’ Seiko Prospex timepieces are designed to be practical, reliable and durable; to meet the high standards required in extreme environments for sports lovers and adventure seekers alike.
