The new Seiko Prospex Speedtimer is a reimagining of the 1969 Seiko Speedtimer and has been inspired by Seiko's rich history of sports timing. The New Prospex SSC917P features all the classic signs of a typical contemporary chronograph. It has distinct features that set it apart from the pack, and real-world functionality from features that are sought after by watch enthusiasts. This Seiko Speedtimer Solar Chronograph is available now on Grahams.
Seiko has taken its time to solidify and innovate the Prospex Solar Chronograph collection and the black series is evidence of that effort. This watch has gone above and beyond all previous Prospex Solar Chronograph series and has built a watch that is unrivalled in design, features, and accuracy.
The Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph Black Series SSC917P has a distinctly dark aesthetic that allows for its minimal colours to bring the timepiece to life. A perfect watch for those who love a dark-themed watch. The modern curves offer a sophisticated look that will never go out of fashion. With this recent release, it's seriously looking like it will be Seiko's best chronograph yet.
Seiko's new Black Series SSC916P has a case that has been crafted from black-toned stainless steel and a three-link bracelet sharing the same materials and tone as the case. The watch bezel functions as a tachymeter, which is able to tell the wearer the speed at which they're travelling over a fixed period of time. The 39mm case size and 13mm thickness means this is a comfortable mid-sized timepiece that will sit well on the wrist.
The dial is grey with a matte finish and has been set with three subdials with black tones to complement the case and bracelet. The hour markers and watch hands are aqua colour and feature Seiko's well-known LumiBrite technology which will allow the watch to stay legible in dark environments, and will display the same colour regardless of conditions for consistency and easy readability. The watch face also includes a date display giving the watch extra functionality. With so many features packed into this timepiece, it's no wonder why it has become so popular among those with active lifestyles and watch enthusiasts who love taking advantage of extra features.
In terms of movement, Seiko has cut no corners. The Prospex Solar Chronograph Black Series SSC917P is powered by the V192 movement. This movement is powered by solar and can be charged by not only natural but also electric lighting, ensuring that you have reliable timekeeping all year around. It features an approximate tolerance of +/- 15 seconds per month and a useful power reserve of 6 months when fully charged and operating at temperatures between 5'C and 60'C.
For intricate timekeeping, enjoy the usefulness of a 24-hour hand, a chronograph that measures time intervals up to 60 minutes in 1/5 second increments, the date and a running small-seconds hand as well as an overcharge prevention function and a resuming electric power generation display.
The Seiko Prospex Solar Chronograph Black Series SSC917 is a work of art that has brought a breath of fresh air into the contemporary chronograph. This timepiece uses one of the most modern and technically advanced movements on the market. The Black Series is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of the year and has a special place in the history of watchmaking.
