Earlier this week, Seiko expanded its iconic Black Series with the all-new Seiko ‘Night Speedtimer’. This watch uses the brand’s internationally famed Prospex design, ensuring it will be a popular choice with fans of the brand. The new watch is equipped with many of Seiko’s recognisable features. A sleek and modern design provides a modern and unique edge to the style. The watch is inspired by night missions and the intrepid view through a night scope. This makes it the perfect choice for sports lovers and adventure seekers.
The Seiko Prospex Black Series ‘Night Speedtimer’ Solar Chronograph Watch SSC917P1
The all-new Seiko ‘Night Speedtimer’ is the latest addition to the Black Series. This family of watches exhibits a uniquely dark design for a striking look on the wrist. The dial of the watch is sure to stand out due to its green features. This is created using the newly developed green ‘Lumibrite Pro’. This material was designed for increased visibility, making the dial visible in the dark. The green ‘Lumibrite Pro’ displays the same colour in light and dark. This makes it instantly recognisable. This watch comes from Seiko’s popular Prospex family, meaning that it is practical, reliable and durable within extreme and everyday environments.
The Dial and Movement
This watch exhibits a dark grey dial which provides the perfect backdrop for the vibrant green ‘Lumibrite Pro’ details. The dial is adorned with a chronograph function, consisting of three black sub-dials. Green baton indices and hands contrast the dark dial. These features are accompanied by a subtle date display nestled between 4 and 5 o’clock. The dial and its features are protected by curved sapphire glass. This provides this timepiece with a good level of durability, therefore allowing it to be worn in more challenging environments. The watch is powered by a Quartz Solar movement. This movement uses both natural and artificial light to power the watch, making it an environmentally friendly and reliable choice.
The Case and Finishing Touches
A black tachymeter bezel frames the dial of the watch and provides another functionality. The case of the watch is made from black PVD-plated stainless steel. The dark colour of this material creates a very striking aesthetic that will draw the eye to the wrist. The case measures 39mm in diameter and 13.3mm in depth to ensure a comfortable fit. This case is paired with a matching black PVD-plated bracelet to solidify this watch’s place in Seiko’s Black Series. To further the durability and practicality of this model, it is water resistant up to 10 bar.
This watch is currently available to pre-order and will be available from December 2022. Click here to browse it on our website.
