Seiko Speedtimer Owner Review : Solar, dark and racy

I present to you my Seiko Speedtimer, from the limited edition "Prospex Black Series," reference SSC923P1. This watch is a worthy legacy of Seiko's expertise in sports timekeeping, featuring its renowned V192 movement. This quartz movement ensures accuracy of ±15 seconds per month, powered by a light-rechargeable battery. Once fully charged, the watch can run for several months without any exposure to light. Aesthetically, it boasts a bold black dial that adds a touch of sophistication while enhancing legibility thanks to its contrasting subdials. The indices and hands, coated with green Lumibrite, ensure readability day and night. It is water-resistant to 100 meters. Its PVD-coated stainless steel case appears robust; its modern and elegant design makes it a handsome chronograph. The 41mm diameter is very comfortable to wear thanks to its compact lug width. The fabric strap with a pin buckle does the job, but I'm thinking of replacing it with a leather one to give it a more elegant look. Of course, a sapphire crystal is standard at this price point (€750). It's hard to find fault with this chronograph; perhaps its diameter might be a bit small for those with smaller wrists, and its all-black design could make it look a bit plasticky. I really like this watch and I plan to wear it regularly in the future.
