Seiko has released three new solar-powered Speedtimer Chronographs from its Prospex family.

Introduced in 1969, the legendary Seiko Speedtimer was one of the world’s first automatic chronographs. Now, its newest generation welcomes a series of three new references incorporating Seiko’s solar technology.

These models feature black, blue or white dial. Every detail of these new watches reflects the precision required for elapsed time measurement at the highest level.

The chronograph second hand extends right to the tachymeter markings at the dial edge. The chronograph minute hand at six o’clock and the center second hand are both in red so that the elapsed time stands out clearly against the dial and can be read at a glance. The date window is placed between the indexes so that the exact time can always be seen with ease.

All three watches are powered by Seiko’s solar Caliber V192 which offers a 60-minute chronograph, a 24-hour subdial and, when fully charged, operates for up to six months without being exposed to light.

The sunray-finished dial ensures the high level of legibility. The hour and minute hands as well as all twelve indexes are coated with Lumibrite luminescent material.

Each of these new chronographs come with a stainless steel case measuring 41.4mm diameter. Mounted on the case, the two-tone aluminum bezel features tachymeter scale. The seconds markers are located on the inner bezel ring so that the indexes can be large and highly visible.

The combination of hairline and smooth finishes on the bracelet and the curved sapphire glass gives the watches a classic yet sports feel. The bracelet’s thickness and weight ensure stability and a high level of comfort on the wrist.

All the three watches will be available from November 2022 at the Seiko Boutiques and selected retail partners worldwide. Its approximate retail price is €700.
