SEIKO Prospex SSC917 Features
Introducing the latest iteration of the Black Series designs: the Seiko Prospex Black Series ‘Night Speedtimer,’ inspired by night missions and the intrepid view through a night scope.
The newly developed green ‘Lumibrite Pro’ colouring on the markers and hands is designed for increased visibility, allowing time to be read clearly in dark conditions. It displays the same colour in light and dark, for consistency and quick recognition, regardless of the light.
This solar powered chronograph timepiece is from the Prospex Speedtimer watch collection which represents Seiko’s professional timekeeping heritage. Conveniently solar-powered; this watch charges from both natural and electric light.
In the 1960s, Seiko announced itself on the international sports timing stage with a whole new generation of high-precision equipment endorsed by international sports federations at many of the world’s leading sports events, the Speedtimer designs recognise this timekeeping heritage.
Prospex timepieces are practical, reliable and durable within extreme or everyday environments, for sports lovers and adventure seekers alike.

About Seiko Prospex SSC917
History of Seiko
The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewerly shop called “K. Hattori” (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha, meaning roughly “House of Exquisite Workmanship”.
The first watches produced under the Seiko brand appeared in 1924. In 1969, Seiko introduced the Astron, the world’s first production quartz watch, it cost the same as a medium-sized car. Seiko later went on to introduce the first quartz chronograph.
