Seiko Prospex SSC965P1 — Speedtimer Solar Chronograph

The Seiko Prospex SSC965P1 Speedtimer is a solar-powered chronograph men's watch that channels the spirit of 1960s and 70s motorsport. The mint green dial pays homage to the iconic sports cars of that era, while the black sub-dials create a striking panda-style contrast — a design language inherited from the fan-favourite Seiko SSC813. The flowing case form traces its lineage back to the original 1960s and 70s Speedtimer models, making the SSC965P1 a watch that is as rooted in history as it is built for today.

Powered by the in-house V192 solar calibre — charged by any natural or artificial light source — the SSC965P1 offers approximately 6 months of power reserve at full charge, with chronograph accuracy to 1/5 second and a tachymetre scale for instant speed calculations. A curved sapphire crystal, Lumibrite on hands and markers, and 100M water resistance complete a specification that punches well above its price point.
