Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph HBJ005P 145th Anniversary Edo Purple Limited Edition Japanese Wristwatch
The Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph HBJ005P is the third wave of Seiko's 145th Anniversary limited collection, drawing its thematic colour from 江戸紫 (Edo Purple) — the traditional colour that has defined Tokyo's cultural identity since the Edo period. The Speedtimer lineage traces to the 1960s and 70s, when Seiko produced some of the world's most iconic chronograph designs for the motorsport and aviation communities. This model revives those archival proportions and silhouettes — tachymeter-ringed aluminium bezel, sub-dial layout, high-contrast legibility — and renders them in Edo Purple across both dial and bezel display ring, with gold accents throughout. Solar Caliber V192 with 1/5 second stopwatch, 60-minute counter, power reserve display, and approximately 6 months' running time on a full charge. Curved sapphire crystal with inner anti-reflective coating. Screw caseback marked "LIMITED EDITION". Stainless steel bracelet with one-push triple fold. World limited to 8,000 pieces with 1,000 pieces allocated domestically. Releasing October 9, 2026. *Pre-Order! Estimated release and shipment from October 9, 2026.* Key Features: Speedtimer Archival Design — Tachymeter Bezel, Iconic Sub-Dial Layout: The HBJ005P inherits the design language of the Speedtimer's 1960s–70s golden era: the aluminium tachymeter bezel display ring in Edo Purple, the classic sub-dial layout with chrono counter and power reserve, and the high-legibility dial structure that defined professional chronograph design in that period. Gold printing and accents throughout reference the 145th anniversary commemorative theme. 江戸紫 (Edo Purple) Dial & Bezel — 145th Anniversary Theme Colour: The Edo Purple colouring appears across both the dial and the aluminium tachymeter bezel ring — the colour that represents the fusion of Edo-era tradition and Tokyo's contemporary creative culture, selected as the unifying theme across all third-wave 145th anniversary models. Solar Caliber V192 — 1/5 Second Chronograph, Power Reserve Display: Solar-powered with approximately 6 months' drive on a full charge. 1/5 second stopwatch with 60-minute counter, 24-hour hand, power reserve display, and date window. Luminbrite on hands and indices. Curved Sapphire Crystal & Screw Caseback — "LIMITED EDITION": Curved sapphire crystal with inner anti-reflective coating.
