The Speedtimer Legacy
The Speedtimer series is part of the Seiko Prospex collection, celebrating the brand’s long history in precision sports timing. Known for combining retro-inspired styling with contemporary watchmaking, the lineup includes both mechanical and solar-powered chronographs. The SSC957 joins the Speedtimer range, delivering versatility and comfort on the wrist.

First introduced in 1969, the ‘Speedtimer’ was a major innovation milestone in Seiko’s watchmaking heritage. Nissan Motor Corporation’s ‘Datsun,’ Japan’s leading sports car brand, launched in the same year. In 1971, the Datsun 240Z car, also known as the Fairlady Z – adorned with Seiko logo sponsorship – won the East African Safari Rally, one of the world’s toughest races. The Datsun 240Z parallels the Seiko Speedtimer with its stylish, resilient and reliable high performance. 

This Speedtimer watch features many design elements from the original DATSUN 240Z rally car: the colour scheme, the font from the instrument panels of the vehicle and the DATSUN logo on the dial. A 3-dimensional emblem of the winning car is engraved on the case back alongside the limited edition number, whilst the bi-colour aluminium bezel features a tachymeter speed measurement tool. Powered by an in-house V192 Solar-charged movement charged by natural and artificial light, this chronograph is accurate to +/- 15 seconds per month, with a 6 month power reserve at full charge, and comes in its own special limited edition box.
