The Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Mechanical Chronograph SRQ055 is a men's automatic chronograph based on Seiko's Speedtimer chronographs of the early 1970s. It has a black dial with the word "Speedtimer," a black tachymeter bezel, subdials with a contrasting finish, and a date calendar. The hands and markers use LumiBrite for visibility in low light.
Inside is Seiko's caliber 8R48, a 34-jewel automatic movement that can also be wound by hand. It beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and has a power reserve of approximately 45 hours. The chronograph measures up to 12 hours of elapsed time in 1/8-second increments. A column wheel and vertical clutch keep the chronograph hand moving smoothly and help maintain the power reserve during chronograph use. A three-pointed hammer system returns all hands to zero together when the reset pusher is pressed.
The case and bracelet are stainless steel with a super-hard coating for scratch resistance. The bracelet has multiple rows of links and a tri-fold push button release clasp. The watch has a dual curved sapphire crystal and a screwdown caseback, and it is water resistant to 100 meters.
