The Seiko Speedtimer: A Classic, Reinvented

Seiko’s Speedtimer, originally launched in 1969, was a groundbreaking innovation in the world of watches as the first-ever automatic chronograph with both a column wheel and vertical clutch. This achievement exemplified Seiko's commitment to precise and advanced watchmaking, a legacy that continues today. The Speedtimer's classic chronograph design is now enhanced with a solar movement, merging timeless style with eco-conscious technology.

Back in December of last year, Seiko released the Prospex Solar ‘Speedometer’ Speedtimer, a European exclusive limited edition. 

This model, presented in a refreshing sky blue, offered a solar-powered treat that quickly became a favourite among fans of the Speedtimer series.

Introducing the New Speedtimer with a Unique Dial

Inspired by the elegance and thrill of 1960s red classic European cars, this latest Speedtimer edition embodies retro automotive charm and meticulous craftsmanship. 

Seiko has given particular attention to the dial, with colours and textures designed to capture the heart of every fan. Here’s what sets this model apart:

Dial and Design:

• Matte-textured dial in a rich red shade reminiscent of vintage car paintwork.
