Inspired by one of Seiko's most celebrated chronographs, the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer SSC947P1 pays tribute to the iconic 1969 Speedtimer and the legendary yellow-dial "Pogue" that became the first automatic chronograph worn in space. Combining unmistakable vintage styling with modern technology, this contemporary re-interpretation delivers everyday reliability without compromising its historic character.
Crafted from stainless steel, the 41.4mm case is fitted with a curved sapphire crystal featuring an anti-reflective coating for exceptional clarity. The vibrant yellow dial is complemented by striking red chronograph accents and a classic blue and red tachymeter bezel, faithfully echoing the design of the original. LumiBrite-coated hands and hour markers ensure excellent legibility in low-light conditions, while the tapered stainless steel bracelet provides a comfortable and secure fit.
Powering the watch is Seiko's in-house Calibre V192 solar movement, charging from both natural and artificial light to provide up to six months of power when fully charged. The movement offers a chronograph capable of timing up to 60 minutes in 1/5-second increments, a 24-hour display, running seconds, date aperture and power reserve indicator, all while maintaining an accuracy of ±15 seconds per month.
Water resistant to 100 metres and built to Seiko's renowned Prospex standards, the SSC947P1 is an ideal choice for enthusiasts seeking a distinctive sports chronograph with genuine heritage, practical everyday performance and one of the most recognisable colour schemes in Seiko's history.
