Key Features

• Solar-Powered Movement: Equipped with Seiko’s advanced solar technology, the watch charges using natural or artificial light. This eliminates the need for frequent battery changes and ensures long-term reliability, making it an eco-friendly and convenient choice for daily wear. The V157 caliber movement efficiently stores energy, allowing the watch to run for months on a full charge—even in low-light conditions.
• Chronograph Functionality: Features a precise stopwatch function with subdials for measuring elapsed time in seconds, minutes, and fractions. This makes it suitable for timing athletic events, workouts, or professional tasks requiring accurate interval tracking. The pushers are designed for responsive operation, whether on land or underwater.
• 100M Water Resistance: Built to ISO standards for water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and other recreational water-based activities. While it can handle submersion and splashes, it is not recommended for scuba diving or high-velocity water sports such as jet skiing or water skiing.
• 24-Hour Subdial: An additional subdial displays time in a 24-hour format, providing utility for travelers, military personnel, or anyone who prefers military-style timekeeping. This feature enhances practicality for those who need to track time across different time zones or in environments where 24-hour notation is standard.
• LumiBrite Hands and Markers: The hands and hour markers are coated with Seiko’s proprietary LumiBrite material, which offers a bright, long-lasting glow in low-light conditions. This ensures enhanced readability at night, during night dives, or in dimly lit environments—without the need for radioactive materials.
• Hardlex Crystal: The watch face is protected by a durable Hardlex crystal, offering strong resistance to scratches and impacts while maintaining clear visibility. While not as scratch-resistant as sapphire, Hardlex provides excellent clarity and toughness for everyday wear.
• Stainless Steel Case: Constructed with a robust stainless steel case finished in matte black, the watch ensures longevity and resistance to corrosion, even in humid or salty environments. The matte finish also reduces glare and gives the timepiece a sleek, tactical appearance.
• Black Silicone Bracelet: The comfortable and flexible black silicone strap provides a secure fit during physical activity and resists wear from sweat and moisture. Its lightweight design ensures all-day comfort, whether you’re at the gym, in the office, or on an outdoor adventure.

Important Notes

While the watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, it is not designed for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Avoid pressing buttons underwater to maintain water resistance integrity. The solar function requires regular exposure to light for optimal performance; prolonged storage in darkness may require recharging under a light source. Product warranty details are available through the manufacturer’s official support channel. Always refer to Seiko’s care instructions to preserve the finish and functionality of the watch over time.
