Seiko 145th Anniversary Prospex Speedtimer Two-Tone Mechanical Chronograph Limited Edition Watch Review
The Seiko 145th Anniversary Prospex Speedtimer Two-Tone Mechanical Chronograph Limited Edition pays tribute to the iconic 1972 Seiko Panda Chronograph while introducing updated features such as a new textured white dial with gold accents. The watch maintains a robust 42mm case that reflects its sporty character, although some may find its thickness less appealing. It is powered by the 8R48 automatic movement, offering a 45-hour power reserve and various chronograph functions, all housed within a solid steel caseback marking its limited edition status of just 700 pieces. With a price tag of £2,300, the watch combines functionality with style, featuring water resistance up to 100 meters and a stainless steel bracelet. The design strikes a balance between the Prospex and Presage lines, making it a unique addition to Seiko's anniversary collection. Collectors and enthusiasts may appreciate its blend of heritage and modern design, though opinions may vary on its nod to the original Panda Chronograph.
