Prospex Black Series Speedtimer Solar Chronograph. Designed for those who treat life as the ultimate adventure, Seiko Prospex keeps moving forward, meeting every challenge with technological excellence and winning design. This dramatic watch is part of a high-intensity collection inspired by the 1969 “Speedtimer,” the world’s first self-winding chronograph, extending it to the Black Series. Featuring the newly developed “Green LumiBrite Pro,” developed for divers by combining the color most recognizable in the dark with a higher brightness and longer afterglow, this extraordinary timepiece provides a “night vision” for visibility in the dark similar to the view seen through a night scope. The chronograph function measures up to 60 minutes of elapsed time in 1/5-second increments and includes a split time function, while the solar cell, powered by any light source, with no battery change required, provides a 6-month power reserve when fully charged. The dark gray dial includes three black subdials, with a 24-hour indicator and power reserve indicator, as well as a date calendar and green LumiBrite on hands, markers and the tip of the chronograph hand. Crafted of stainless steel with black hard coating, curved anti-reflective sapphire crystal, black tachymeter bezel, secure screwdown caseback and tapered three-link bracelet with 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.
