Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph Limited Edition – Edo Purple
Celebrating Seiko’s 145th Anniversary
Inspired by Tokyo’s rich cultural heritage and ever-evolving aesthetic, the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph Limited Edition celebrates Seiko’s 145th anniversary with a distinctive Edo purple dial. As part of the third series of commemorative limited-edition timepieces, this special model pays tribute to the traditions, creativity, and enduring spirit of Japan’s capital.
Inspired by Edo Purple
The dial showcases Edo purple, a color rooted in the aesthetic sensibilities of Tokyo during the Edo period. Reflecting a cultural legacy passed down through generations, this distinctive hue connects Japan’s historical traditions with the modern creativity that continues to shape the city today.
A Tribute to Vintage Speedtimer Design
Drawing inspiration from the iconic Seiko Speedtimer models of the 1960s and 1970s, this solar-powered chronograph combines classic motorsport styling with contemporary performance. The striking bi-color aluminum bezel features a tachymeter scale, echoing the design of a celebrated and highly regarded Speedtimer model from Seiko’s vintage archives.
Powered by the reliable Seiko V192 solar movement, the watch delivers precise timekeeping and versatile chronograph functionality without the need for regular battery replacement. A curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inner surface enhances clarity, while LumiBrite-treated hands and indices provide visibility in low-light conditions.
The case back is engraved with “LIMITED EDITION,” marking this distinctive anniversary model as a special addition to the Prospex collection.
