Seiko Speedtimer Owner Review : Elegant, convicing and endearing

Seiko has released this SSC813P1 model integrated into the Prospex Speedtimer collection. A chronograph powered by the V192 caliber. The shape of the case is inspired by the original from 1964 with a new diameter of 39 mm, the domed sapphire crystal contributes to the pleasure of looking at this watch. The sandblasted finish of the white dial, contrasts with the sub-dials play with the light between black and purple because they are solar cells! The lower sub-dial gives an indication of the battery charge F for full and E for empty. In full the watch can run for 6 months. The precision is approximately 13 s / month. The watch is water-resistant to 100m, stopwatch to 1/5th of a second and tachymeter. The carbon titanium bezel fits perfectly into the watch. The beige hands give a little retro side to the watch. The finish is very good for the asking price, I was really won over by this watch! The flaws now because there are some of course: the date at four o'clock which is too much inside the watch and therefore not very readable, probably because of the implementation of the solar cells. The bracelet which I find is a little set back from the case and which only has two micro adjustments. Finally Seiko should have designed several sizes for this case a bit like Longines with its Hydroconquest series here only a 39mm version perfect for average wrists but maybe a little small for a 19 wrist like mine! I recommend this watch because it gives a lot for its price, an advantageous aesthetic, good precision due to its v192 caliber, no battery to change, a water resistance of 10 atm, a domed sapphire crystal of the most beautiful effect, a little vintage side and its Rolex Daytona inspiration!
