Seiko Prospex Speedtimer SSC955P – Limited Edition Tokyo 2025 Solar Chronograph

Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph SSC955P – Limited Edition for Tokyo 2025

Seiko introduces the new Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph SSC955P, a limited edition release marking the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. This model blends Seiko’s heritage in sports timing with modern solar-powered technology, offering a refined yet functional design for daily wear.

The Speedtimer Legacy

The Speedtimer series is part of the Seiko Prospex collection, celebrating the brand’s long history in precision sports timing. Known for combining retro-inspired styling with contemporary watchmaking, the lineup includes both mechanical and solar-powered chronographs. The SSC955P joins the compact 39mm Speedtimer range, delivering versatility and comfort on the wrist.

For collectors interested in other Seiko Prospex Speedtimer models, the SSC813P and SSC947P offer alternative dial colours with the same reliable solar movement and with 2 different size variations suiting most wrist sizes.

A Dial Inspired by Tokyo’s Heritage

The standout feature of the SSC955P is its light purple dial, inspired by Edo purple, a colour historically associated with the city now known as Tokyo. This official tone of the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25 is paired with black accents, creating a striking yet understated look.

The dial features:

• Faceted black hour markers with Lumibrite inserts

• Matte black sword-style hands with white Lumibrite

• Three dark-toned sub-dials

• 24-hour display, running seconds, and a 60-minute chronograph register with power reserve indicator

Case and Bracelet Design

The watch features a 39mm stainless steel case (13.3mm thick, 45.5mm lug-to-lug) with a brushed top surface and polished case sides. A fixed black tachymeter bezel contrasts sharply with the case, while the right side hosts a screw-down crown and chronograph pushers. The stainless steel bracelet has polished centre links and brushed outer links, secured with a folding clasp.

Solar-Powered V192 Movement

Inside is Seiko’s V192 solar chronograph movement, offering:

• ±15 seconds per month accuracy

• Six-month power reserve on a full charge

• Power reserve display at 6 o’clock

• Solar charging from natural or artificial light

• Energy-saving function when the charge is low

The case back features a commemorative engraving of the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25 logo and an individual limited edition number out of 6,000.

Wearing the SSC955P

On the wrist, the SSC955P offers balanced proportions, a lightweight feel, and a colour scheme that shifts from soft purple to pale silver depending on the light. The polished bracelet links add a refined touch without overpowering the dial’s subtle tones. Chronograph operation is crisp, with precise push-button engagement.
