Rated by Watch It clients

The Seiko Essentials SSB345 borrows the look of a racing dashboard, right down to the layered blue dial and orange accents that pick out its timing functions. A blue tachymeter bezel carries the color beyond the dial into the steel case.

Why this watch stands out

The quartz chronograph measures up to 60 minutes in fifth-second increments. Three subdials include a 24-hour indicator, and a date window adds everyday utility. LumiBrite hands and the marker at twelve help orient the dial after dark. Water resistance is rated to 100 meters.

Our take

The orange details do more than add color: they guide the eye across a dial designed to evoke instruments in motion. This is a motorsport-inspired chronograph that embraces its theme.

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.
