SEIKO PROSPEX SSC961P1 SPEEDTIMER SOLAR CHRONOGRAPH MEN WATCH

Seiko Prospex SSC961P1 — Speedtimer Solar Chronograph

The Seiko Prospex SSC961P1 Speedtimer is a solar-powered chronograph men's watch that channels the spirit of 1960s and 70s motorsport in its purest form. The clean white dial is the most classic expression of the panda-style design — black sub-dials against a white main dial, a combination that has defined the look of motorsport chronographs for decades. Modelled on the fan-favourite Seiko SSC813, the SSC961P1 inherits the flowing case form of the original 1960s and 70s Speedtimer models, making it the most timeless and versatile of the current Speedtimer solar lineup.

Powered by the in-house V192 solar calibre — charged by any natural or artificial light source — the SSC961P1 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. The white panda dial makes this the most wearable and versatile of the Speedtimer colour variants — equally at home on the track, at the office, or out for the weekend.
