SEIKO BRAND 100TH ANNIVERSARY PROSPEX SPEEDTIMER MECHANICAL CHRONOGRAPH LIMITED EDITION
Regular price
$2,700.00
Seiko Brand 100th Anniversary Prospex Speedtimer Mechanical Chronograph Limited Edition. Born of perseverance and hope, the history of the Seiko brand name goes back to the aftermath of the devastating Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, when K. Hattori & Co., determined to rebuild, released its 1924 first Seiko branded wristwatch. Part of a special group of limited editions commemorating this pivotal moment, this exceptional timepiece is available only in a controlled-production run of 1,000, with the serial number engraved on each caseback. Based on Seiko’s 1972 Speedtimer precision chronograph, nicknamed “Panda” by fans, and developed with added style and function to appeal to young motorsports enthusiasts, this superbly tailored timepiece features a slim case profile, curved to seamlessly connecting to the bracelet for enhanced sport elegance and wearing comfort. Providing chronograph measurement of up to 30 minutes of elapsed time in 1/8-second increments, the proprietary caliber 8R48 34-jewel automatic movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of approximately 45 hours and manual winding capability. The movement includes a column wheel and vertical clutch mechanism allowing for smooth, stutter-free movement of the chronograph hand while providing long-term efficiency, reducing wear and tear and maintaining the power reserve better during chronograph operation. For reliable timing, the three-pointed hammer system ensures that all hands return to zero instantly and in perfect synchronization when the re-set pusher is pressed. Framed by a tachymeter scale, the charcoal-gray dial inspired, like the orange chronograph hand, by the original “Panda” colors, features a date calendar and LumiBrite hands and markers. Adding a note of tailored luxury, the multi-row bracelet provides a sleek, comfortable fit, while the additional black leather strap offers versatile wear. Crafted of stainless steel with a super-hard coating, this extraordinary timepiece also features a dual-curved anti-reflective sapphire crystal, screwdown caseback, and tri-fold push button release clasp. Packaged in a Limited Edition collectors’ box. 10 bar, 100M Water Resistant

What Our Clients Say About Us

First off, I want to say that I absolutely love my new Seiko SPB503J1 “Alpinist”, which I purchased from Hislon Jewelry. At 34, it was finally time to buy my first “big boy” watch, and after extensive research, I landed on this absolute beauty. I contacted multiple authorized Seiko dealers in the area, and Hislon Jewelry was the only one that not only had several Alpinists in stock but was also willing to accommodate my late schedule. From the moment my wife and I walked into their showroom, I knew I made the right choice. Their display featured an impressive collection of Seiko, King Seiko, Michele, Tissot, and Rolex watches—clearly a store that takes pride in quality and selection. We were helped by Paige, who was both kind and extremely knowledgeable. However, what truly set Hislon Jewelry apart was the customer service that followed after the sale. I’ll admit—I can be a bit neurotic when it comes to expensive purchases. After leaving the store wearing my watch, I started to worry that the clasp might not be fully secure (this may very well have been in my head). My wife suggested we stop by the next morning to have it looked at. Once again, Paige assisted us, and whether my concern was valid or not, she handled everything with complete grace and professionalism. She offered to swap the watch for another one and readjusted it so it fit perfectly. She never made me feel rushed, dismissed, or uncomfortable. Instead, she made me feel heard and taken care of—and that speaks volumes about the level of professionalism at Hislon Jewelry. I am 100% satisfied with both my purchase and the service I received. I would highly recommend Hislon Jewelry for all your watch and jewelry needs, and I will absolutely be back when it’s time to add the next piece to my collection.

Working with Paige Ibrahim and Jeff I can’t say enough about my experience I decided to trade in some gold and gems that I have accumulated thru the years and past generations Gold was at an all time high and I decided to trade in and reinvent the jewels I had inherited One piece which was spectacular will always be close to my heart A little of my dad’s and mom. We created a spectacular piece I’m so grateful

I can’t say enough good things about this jewelry store! The staff are honest, reliable, and truly care about their customers. They take the time to explain everything and make sure you’re completely comfortable with your purchase. It’s such a relief to find a jeweler I can trust — I won’t go anywhere else now!

I‘ve always shopped at big box jewelry stores and this week I came across this nice gem of a place -no pun intended- Hislon Jewelry. The first thing that caught my attention was the selection of watches, but I was on a mission to buy a chain. Jeff greeted me and showed me the different chain styles and gave me a lot of information on the price of gold. I felt very comfortable and the quality of the fine jewelry was excellent. I definitely enjoyed my shopping experience and I won’t be going to a big box store anymore!
