The Seiko Prospex Speedtimer SSC963 is a solar-powered chronograph in stainless steel, styled after the 1969 Speedtimer. Its pink dial carries a 24-hour indicator, a power reserve indicator, a date window and LumiBrite on the hands and markers, framed by a black tachymeter bezel. The solar cell runs off any light and holds a six-month reserve when fully charged, so there is no battery to replace. Against mechanical chronographs it is lower-maintenance and lighter on the wrist; against cheaper quartz chronos it adds sapphire crystal, 100 m water resistance and a screwdown caseback. It suits buyers who want a colorful, motorsport-flavored everyday chronograph without winding or battery swaps.

Owners of the Speedtimer line praise the solar movement, the sapphire crystal and the retro racing look. The pink dial draws strong opinions, and some find the subdials crowded.
The Seiko Prospex SSC963 Speedtimer is a solar chronograph. It is part of a collection inspired by the 1969 "Speedtimer," the world's first self-winding chronograph. A black tachymeter bezel frames a pink dial with a neo-classic, vintage sports car look.
The dial has 24-hour and power reserve indicators, high-contrast subdials and a date calendar. LumiBrite on the hands, markers and the tip of the chronograph hand makes the watch easier to read in the dark.
The chronograph measures up to 60 minutes of elapsed time in 1/5-second increments and has a split time function. The solar cell runs on any light source, so no battery change is needed. A full charge gives a 6-month power reserve.
