Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Mechanical Chronograph DATSUN 240Z LE SRQ057 Now is a remake of the Prospex Speedtimer we're all familiar with. Although it bears a striking similarity to the previous SRQ047 via SRQ053 models, a few information set it apart. Aside from the black-coated stainless steel case, probably the most noticeable change is the set external tachymeter scale within the bezel. This scale was previously internal, but has now already been relocated to the outside for any classic racing chronograph appear. While the case dimensions are very similar, at 42mm wide and also 14. 6mm thick, seems like slightly smaller due to its dark-colored finish (as the saying should go, black makes you thin! ). The bezel itself includes a black insert with red and white markings, a nod towards the Datsun 240Z that influenced the series.
The dial is african american, and I can't imagine the reason why that's surprising! This clashes beautifully with the large steel-colored hour markers, faceted hours and minute hands, white-colored printed indices and amounts on the beveled inner engagement ring, minute track, subdials, and much more. All chronograph hands possess a touch of red, as the running seconds hand features a blue stripe. A beveled window at 4: thirty displays the date, even though the LumiBrite coating on the hour or so markers and hands glows in the dark. The finishing contact is the cursive " Datsun" lettering below the noon sign.
Under the circumstance, the Seiko 8R48 automated column-wheel chronograph movement churns away. Its " pace limit" (pardon the juga, I mean frequency! ) will be 28, 800 vibrations hourly, and its power reserve is a nice 45 hours. A line wheel and vertical clutch system ensure seamless starting, preventing, and resetting of the stop watch function, which is activated through pump-type pushers on possibly side of the crown. replica Greubel Forsey GMT watches
