Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph for Budapest World Athletics Championships
The addition of four brand new solar-powered chronographs to the Seiko Prospex collection marks send out association with the World Athletics Championships to be held in Budapest, Hungary in August 2023. Legally known as the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph, all watches feature Seiko's fresh Caliber 8A50 movement, some sort of 1/100-second chronograph with a regular monthly accuracy rating of +/- 15 seconds.
The Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Time counter is 42mm wide along with 12. 9mm thick, which has a lug-to-lug distance of 24. 3mm, which is a reasonable density for a powerful chronograph, commensurate with its 42mm diameter. Proportionate. All offer 100m water proof and 4, 800 A/m magnetic resistance for assurance. The four watches talk about the same case and band design, but are executed in another way and presented in real Seiko style, with different prices and naming techniques. In the gallery above, via left to right, the truth is the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph SFJ001, the actual Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Sun Chronograph SFJ003, the Seiko Prospex Analog Quartz Stop-watch 40th Anniversary Limited Model SFJ005, and finally the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Wathe ograph World Athletics Safe bet Budapest 23 Limited Copy SFJ007.
The Seiko Prospex Analog Quartz Timepiece 40th Anniversary Limited Version SFJ005 (above) exudes a substantial field vibe, a honor to the world's first film based chronograph displaying time batches in 1/100th of a subsequent in 1992. Seiko cell phone calls it "a particularly epoch-making development in the history associated with Seiko analog quartz chronograph watches. " That watch possessed a more traditional subdial layout regarding 6-9-12 with a day-date signal for 3. In comparison, the modern Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar energy Chronograph watch has a quite odd layout, doing away with the particular centered hands and exhibit secondary dials for every little thing. I review the fantastic Seiko Kinetic Sportura with the similar layout in this No Longer Built article, and it's one not to ever be missed.
During the 100m final, one might try and read the full name of the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Time counter World Athletics Championship Budapest 23 Limited Edition SFJ007, but the first runner may well finish before reaching the client number. It is the only all-black variation with black "hard coating" on the case and necklace. A curved sapphire very with an anti-reflective coating defends the uniquely textured face. Seiko doesn't specify exactly where this texture comes from, but it really reminds us of the special providing found in gyms and stadiums.
Regular production models add the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Photo voltaic Chronograph SFJ001 and SFJ003. The former is a charming basca dial version, while the second item is a black dial using white contrasting markers. The lens case and bracelet are both stainlesss steel, as they are on all four products, and of course, the case dimensions continue being the same.
