New Seiko Watches Unveiled
Seiko Prospex Speedtimer x DATSUN Limited Edition Watches
Seiko’s Prospex Speedtimer x Datsun 240Z series celebrates a legendary motorsport legacy with three limited-edition watches; each paying tribute to the iconic Datsun Fairlady Z rally car.
The standout of the collection is the Speedtimer x DATSUN Fairlady Z, limited to only 500 pieces. It features Seiko’s mechanical calibre 8R48—an advanced chronograph movement with a column wheel and a vertical clutch, as well as a 45-hour power reserve. Housed in a 42mm black-coated stainless steel case with a tachymeter bezel, it sports a sleek black dial accented by cursive Datsun branding at 12 o’clock. The black leather strap, detailed with racing-style perforations, completes the motorsport aesthetic. With a date display, stop-seconds hand, and water resistance up to 100 metres, it’s built for both precision timing and daily wear.
Next is the Speedtimer Compact 6R x DATSUN Fairlady Z, limited to 2,500 pieces. This model features a matte-black dial with vintage-inspired Datsun branding at 6 o’clock and a date aperture at 4. Its inner rotating tachymeter bezel is enhanced by a Lumibrite-coated reference triangle for clear readability in any light. The 39.5mm stainless steel case houses the reliable 6R55 automatic movement, offering a 72-hour power reserve. A black LWG-approved leather strap adds a refined touch.
Finally, the Solar Speedtimer x DATSUN Fairlady Z channels the rally heritage with its bi-colour aluminium tachymeter bezel, dashboard-inspired font, and bold DATSUN logo. Powered by Seiko’s V192 solar movement, it provides a 6-month power reserve as well as ±15 seconds per month accuracy. Limited and collectable, this trio perfectly captures the synergy between vintage automotive design and cutting-edge horology.
Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Watches
The Seiko Speedtimer collection celebrates the brand’s long-standing legacy in precision timekeeping and its deep roots in motorsport. First introduced in the 1960s as one of the world’s earliest automatic chronographs, the Speedtimer has since evolved into a modern classic, seamlessly blending retro-inspired aesthetics with contemporary performance. The latest releases stay true to this spirit, offering fresh designs rooted in Seiko’s heritage.
Among them are the new 6R ‘Compact Countdown’ models, available in either Grey-White Contrast or Black-Grey Contrast. These watches feature 39.5mm stainless steel cases with a super-hard coating. An automatic 6R55 movement powers each model, offering an impressive 72-hour power reserve. A standout detail is the orange-accented inner rotating countdown bezel, operated via the 4 o’clock crown; an eye-catching and functional nod to vintage motorsport timing. Each model is paired with a multi-row stainless steel bracelet inspired by 1970s Speedtimer designs, along with a curved sapphire crystal and 200 metres of water resistance, making them stylish and practical for everyday use.
On the higher-performance end, the “Maximum Precision” Mechanical Chronograph showcases Seiko’s engineering excellence. Housed in a 42mm super-hard coated case, it runs on the 8R48 calibre. This movement features a vertical clutch, column wheel, and MEMS technology for both precise and durable chronograph performance. With a 45-hour power reserve, tachymeter bezel, date display and luminous hands as well as 100 metres of water resistance, this watch balances technical mastery with elegant design. It’s a refined, modern interpretation of Seiko’s mechanical chronograph legacy.
