Prospex Speedtimer World Athletics Championship Budapest 2023 Limited Edition. Designed for those who treat life as the ultimate adventure, Seiko Prospex keeps moving forward, meeting every challenge with technological excellence and winning design. As official timer of the World Athletics Championship Budapest 2023, Seiko presents this extraordinary commemorative Limited Edition, available only in a controlled-production run of 4,000, with the production serial number and the official logo for the Budapest Championship engraved on each screwdown caseback. Featuring the new solar chronograph 8A50 movement, this exceptional watch further advances the high-intensity collection with inspiration from Seiko's - and the world’s - first analog quartz chronograph, which featured a 1/100-second stopwatch. To properly reflect world-class athletics, the distinctive black dial is patterned to suggest professional running tracks, while the gold chronograph hands symbolize the highest prize. For enhanced legibility, the uniquely designed dial includes four inset black subdials, separating the time dial from the chronograph indicators, and LumiBrite hands and markers. The chronograph function measures up to 60 minutes of elapsed time in 1/100-second increments and provides a split time function, while the solar cell, powered by any light source, with no battery change required, offers a 6-month power reserve when fully charged. Allowing easy utilization of the stopwatch feature, this precision watch features concave tops on the hammer-shaped pushers. Crafted of stainless steel with black hard coating, this rugged timepiece also includes a curved anti-reflective sapphire crystal and tri-fold push button release clasp. 10 bar, 100M Water Resistant

Seiko's journey, which began in 1881, is a remarkable story of vision, innovation, and dedication. When Kintaro Hattori, a 21-year-old entrepreneur, opened his small shop in Tokyo’s bustling Ginza district, he laid the foundation for what would become one of the world’s most respected watchmaking companies. Initially, Hattori focused on selling and repairing watches and clocks, but his ambition was far greater. He envisioned creating timepieces that would not only be precise but also reflect the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship.
In 1892, just over a decade after opening his shop, Hattori took a significant step forward by founding Seikosha, a factory dedicated to producing wall clocks. The name "Seikosha" means "House of Exquisite Workmanship," and it represented Hattori’s commitment to quality. By 1913, Seikosha had produced Japan’s very first wristwatch, the Laurel, marking a historic milestone for both the company and the nation’s watchmaking industry.
