Seiko Prospex 'Grand Touring' Men's Solar Chronograph Bracelet Watch

Seiko

This solar-powered chronograph timepiece is from the Prospex Speedtimer watch collection which represents Seiko’s professional timekeeping heritage. In the 1960s, Seiko announced itself on the international sports timing stage with a whole new generation of high-precision equipment. Seiko timekeeping is endorsed by international sports federations at many of the world's leading sports events, starting with the 1964 Olympics and continuing into the IAAF partnership today. Adding to the popular ‘Speedtimer’ watch collection, this particular design features an increased ‘go large’ case size – the original was 39mm, whilst this piece is 41.4mm. Fitted with the inhouse Seiko V192 quartz solar powered calibre, it is not only an environmentally friendly choice in not requiring wasteful, expensive & repeated battery changes of traditional battery quartz watches, this functionality will also save you money too in the long run. conveniently, this watch charges from both natural and electric light and will continue to recharge itself to maximum capacity whilst exposed to any light. The Grey sunray dial provides an attractive iridescent metallic character as the watch catches the light and showcases the 3 black sub dials housed at the centre delivering and recording the additional timepiece functionality. The watch features a 60 minute chronograph function timing to 1/5th of a second, with split time recording and a separate 24 hour sub dial at the 3 o’clock position. A power reserve indicator is also positioned at the sub dial at 6 o’clock. A date of month window is positioned just below the 4 o’clock marker. Both the hands and the hour indexes are coated in ‘Lumibrite’ to facilitate reading the dial in conditions of reduced light. A tachymeter bezel can be used to record speed over distance and bestows an appealing frame to the detailed dial. For those people leading an active lifestyle or just seeking a timepiece that is highly hard wearing you will be pleased to hear this watch is fitted with an ultra-scratch resistant curved sapphire glass with an anti-reflective coating on the inner surface that imparts superior dial clarity for the user. The watch is also sealed to 100m water resistance and as such is perfect for general water sports use. The case is secured to a solid stainless steel bracelet with a tapered bracelet construction and has a reassuring ‘heft’ expected of its quality manufacture, whilst also being still highly comfortable on the wrist. Secured with a push button tri-fold clasp Built to last and backed by Seiko’s trusted global service centre network with a 2 year guarantee, this watch will provide a lifetime of reliable service and pleasure for the owner. Prospex timepieces are practical, reliable and durable within extreme or everyday environments, for sports lovers and adventure seekers alike.
