New Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Datsun 240Z Limited Edition Collection

Meet the new Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Datsun 240Z Limited Edition Collection: the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Mechanical Datsun 240Z Limited Edition SPB517, the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Mechanical Chronograph Datsun 240Z Limited Edition SRQ057, and the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph Datsun 240Z Limited Edition SSC957. The 60s and 70s were formative decades for both the Japanese car and watch industries, and Seiko’s latest three Prospex Speedtimers pay homage to that period and one of its most iconic sports cars: the Datsun 240Z. Seiko has a long history of sports timing, including in motorsports. Indeed, Seiko are currently the official timing partner of Australia’s very own Supercars Championship. In 1969, Japanese car makers were starting to find real success in international motorsports. It was also notably in this same year that Seiko introduced the Speedtimer, the world’s first automatic chronograph with both a vertical clutch and a column wheel. With the above and mind, it is clear there is a deep, long-standing connection at play here. Now, let's take a closer look at the watches and let us know your thoughts and favourite of the trio in the comments below. ------------------------------- https://www.seikowatches.com/au-en/pr... ------------------------------- BRAND - SEIKO MODEL - PROSPEX SPEEDTIMER MECHANICAL DATSUN 240Z LIMITED EDITION REFERENCE - SPB517 CASE DIMENSIONS - 39.5MM (D) X 12MM (T) X 44.5MM (LTL) CASE MATERIAL - STAINLESS STEEL (SUPER HARD COATING) WATER RESISTANCE - 200 METRES CRYSTAL(S) - CURVED SAPPHIRE FRONT, AR-COATED DIAL - BLACK, RED ACCENTS, RETRO DATSUN LOGO STRAP - LEATHER RALLY-STYLE STRAP, THREE-FOLD CLASP WITH PUSH BUTTON RELEASE MOVEMENT - 6R55, IN-HOUSE, AUTOMATIC POWER RESERVE - 72 HOURS FUNCTIONS - HOURS, MINUTES, SECONDS, DATE, COUNTDOWN BEZEL AVAILABILITY - LIMITED EDITION OF 2,500 PIECES PRICE - US$1,150, A$1,900 BRAND - SEIKO MODEL - PROSPEX SPEEDTIMER MECHANICAL CHRONOGRAPH DATSUN 240Z LIMITED EDITION REFERENCE - SRQ057 CASE DIMENSIONS - 42MM (D) X 14.6MM (T) X 49.5MM (LTL) CASE MATERIAL - BLACK PVD STAINLESS STEEL WATER RESISTANCE - 100 METRES CRYSTAL(S) - CURVED SAPPHIRE FRONT, AR-COATED DIAL - BLACK, RED AND BLUE ACCENTS, CURSIVE DATSUN TEXT STRAP - SMOOTH LEATHER STRAP, THREE-FOLD CLASP WITH PUSH BUTTON RELEASE MOVEMENT - 8R48, IN-HOUSE, AUTOMATIC POWER RESERVE - 45 HOURS FUNCTIONS - HOURS, MINUTES, RUNNING SECONDS, DATE, CHRONOGRAPH AVAILABILITY - LIMITED EDITION OF 500 PIECES PRICE - US$3,200, A$5,200 BRAND - SEIKO MODEL - PROSPEX SPEEDTIMER SOLAR CHRONOGRAPH DATSUN 240Z LIMITED EDITION REFERENCE - SSC957 CASE DIMENSIONS - 41.4MM (D) X 13MM (T) X 45.9MM (LTL) CASE MATERIAL - TWO-TONE STAINLESS STEEL AND BLACK PVD WATER RESISTANCE - 100 METRES CRYSTAL(S) - CURVED SAPPHIRE FRONT, AR-COATED DIAL - BLACK, RED AND BLUE ACCENTS, BLOCK DATSUN TEXT STRAP - TWO-TONE THREE-LINK STAINLESS STEEL & BLACK PVD BRACELET, THREE-FOLD CLASP, PUSH BUTTON RELEASE MOVEMENT - V192, IN-HOUSE, SOLAR QUARTZ BATTERY LIFE - 6 MONTHS AT FULL CHARGE FUNCTIONS - HOURS, MINUTES, RUNNING SECONDS, DATE, CHRONOGRAPH, 24-HOUR HAND, POWER RESERVE INDICATOR, SOLAR CHARGING AVAILABILITY - LIMITED EDITION OF 4,000 PIECES PRICE - US$1,000, A$1,650 ------------------------------- Read more articles: https://timeandtidewatches.com Shop: https://shop.timeandtidewatches.com ------------------------------- MB01OTIXZLPJ5VH INSTAGRAM @timetidewatches TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/search?q=timea...
