Seiko Prospex Speedtimer: A Tribute to Datsun

Seiko has launched the Prospex Speedtimer chronographs, taking inspiration from the iconic 1971 Datsun 240Z that won the East African Safari Rally. These limited edition watches feature rugged designs that reflect the rally car’s spirit, with bold dials and vintage aesthetics that harken back to the 70s.

There are three models to choose from: a solar-powered everyday watch, a mechanical chronograph, and a pure time-only model. Each watch feels like the perfect companion for a driver navigating the wild, embodying a mix of style and practicality that collectors will appreciate.

The new Speedtimer models will be available this September, so make sure to grab one before they're gone. Whether you're a motorsport enthusiast or just love a good timepiece, these watches are a must-have that pays homage to Seiko's rich heritage.

I originally started VELOCE to put my skills to work, hone my app design and web development practices, and dive deeper into the world of horology. I wanted to learn more about the watches, the brands, and the incredible people behind them - the creators, the designers, and the collectors. I love discovering new timepieces and sharing their stories with the world. VELOCE is my ultimate passion project and hobby, the creative space I head to after my full-time job to build something I truly care about.
