The Seiko Prospex Speedtimer HBJ001P1 pays tribute to the heritage of chronograph innovation, drawing inspiration from the original Speedtimer introduced in 1969. Designed under the theme of “Classic Motorsports,” this latest edition features a colour scheme inspired by the essence of classic racing cars from the 1960s and 1970s. The silver tone dial and hour and minute hands resemble the original 1969 Speedtimer, creating a distinctive connection to Seiko’s chronograph heritage.
Designed for clear and practical readability, the HBJ001P1 features 12 Lumibrite highlights to enhance legibility in darker conditions. The chronograph second scale around the dial ring and bi-colour aluminium bezel with tachymeter markings are iconic elements of the original Speedtimer, adding to the classic motorsport character of this chronograph. The combination of these details delivers a design that reflects the Speedtimer in its prime while maintaining the practical qualities associated with the Prospex collection.
The Seiko Speedtimer HBJ001P1 is powered by a solar-powered, in-house built V192 calibre, offering accuracy of +/- 15 seconds per month and a full charge of 6 months. As part of the Seiko Prospex collection, the watch reflects the meaning behind Prospex, a combination of “Professional” and “Specifications.” Seiko Prospex timepieces are designed to be practical, reliable and durable, meeting the high standards required in extreme environments for sports lovers and adventure seekers alike.
