Inspired by neo-classic cars of the 1970s, often known as “young-timers,” this model brings a vintage motoring feel to the modern Prospex Speedtimer collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Speedtimer name has an important place in Seiko’s history. First introduced in 1969, the Speedtimer was a major milestone in chronograph innovation as the world’s first automatic chronograph with a vertical clutch and column wheel. This new Heritage Motoring model carries that performance-led spirit into a clean, contemporary automatic design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowing case shape takes inspiration from the 1972 Seiko “Panda” design and is finished with Seiko’s super-hard coating for added durability. The light blue dial sits beneath curved sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on the inner surface, helping to keep the dial clear and easy to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA countdown timer surrounds the dial, giving the watch a distinctive motorsport-inspired detail. The inner-ring reference triangle is finished with strong LumiBrite coating for improved visibility, while LumiBrite is also applied to the hands and indexes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is powered by Seiko’s in-house 6R55 automatic calibre, offering an impressive 72-hour power reserve and accuracy of -15\/+25 seconds per day. The movement also features a stop second hand function, 24 jewels and a date display positioned at 4.5 o’clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel bracelet is fitted with a three-fold clasp and push button release for a secure, comfortable fit. With a compact 39.5mm case diameter, 12.0mm case thickness, 44.5mm case length and 20mm lug width, this Speedtimer has a balanced feel on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater resistant to 20 bar, or 200 metres, the Seiko Prospex HBC003J1 is built with everyday practicality as well as sporting capability.
