Seiko Prospex 'Pogue' Solar Chronograph 1969 Re-interpretation - SSC947P1
In 1969, Seiko released the world's first automatic chronograph equipped with
both vertical clutch and column wheel, known as the Seiko Speedtimer. One piece
from the first 6139 Speedtimer series rose to stardom as the first automatic
chronograph to travel in space: in the 70s, NASA astronaut Colonel William Pogue
took the original chronograph on a mission to Skylab - the first US space station.
The watch became nicknamed the ‘Pogue’ after its star explorer wearer.
Under a curved sapphire crystal glass is a vivid yellow dial, characteristic of the
6139 original. Accurately recreating the 'Pogue,' the second hand, and sub-dial
minute hand at 6 o'clock are in a bright red. With 12 spots of Lumibrite across each
of the wide vintage-style indices, this Speedtimer is designed for legibility in dark
conditions. In the style of the original, this piece has a blue and red aluminium
bezel with a tachymeter feature and a chronometer second scale on the inside dial
ring.
The bracelet is tapered from the lugs all the way to the buckle.
This modern recreation features a V192 solar chronograph calibre which charges in
both natural and artificial light. Accurate to +/- 15 seconds per month, it has a
power reserve of 6 months at full charge.
Prospex is a combination of the words ‘Professional’ and ‘Specifications'.
These timepieces are designed to be practical, reliable and durable within extreme or everyday environments, for experts, sports lovers and adventure seekers alike.
