Seiko Solar Chronograph Alarm Black Dial SSC095P1 Mens Watch

Seiko Solar Chronograph Alarm Black Dial SSC095P1 Mens WatchA straight and simple overview:

The Seiko Solar Chronograph Alarm Black Dial SSC095P1 SSC095 SSC095P Mens Watch is a black ion-plated solar powered quartz chronograph that can track up to 60 minutes. Its main dial hosts a 6’0 clock sub-dial that tracks either the alarm time or a different time-zone. The 9’O clock sub-dial denotes regular seconds and at 12 is the 60-minutes chrono-counter.

The chronograph seconds are marked by the central hand, tipped with red from halfway. It has a date and an alarm function, a Hardlex crystal (Seiko’s proprietary product) and entirely made from surgical steel laid with a fairly abrasion-resistant black ion finish. There’s lume on the hands and the markers.

Case-study:

The black ion plating is the next best thing to PVD but looks and holds up equally great. It’s polished to a high shine and the 43mm size is suitable for a wide variety of wrists. The lugs extend to another 4mm for each side, rounding at 51mm. Atop is the Hardlex crystal; it holds against scratches damn well and offers a crystal clear view. It’s also impact-resistant and shatter-proof up to a great deal.

Into the mechanics:

The V172 movement of the Seiko Solar Chronograph Alarm Black Dial SSC095P1 SSC095 SSC095P Mens Watch is bit different from the standard chronograph mechanism; it measures in 1/5th second increments rather than by 1. Greater precision and a smooth sweep back to zero position when reset. Fully charged, it can run for 180 days (moderately high usage of chrono function included) without further exposure to light. Worry not; the regular seconds hand will jump 2 seconds at a time to alert you of a low charge.

Subtle, likeable features:

•Solid-end links of the bracelet bringing the quality feel.

•A double-layer, heavy clasp.

•Solid crown and pushers.

•A high, glossy finish.

•Applied markers and logos.

•Flawlessly deep, black dial.

•Neat, concentric rings around sub-dials.

•Brightness of the lume.

•A clear-cut date window.

Drawing the line:

The Seiko Solar Titanium Mens Watch is a solid piece with a fantastic build quality and a movement that will last for years. If quartz chronographs annoyed with their battery changing schedules and jumpy seconds-counting, the Seiko Solar Chronograph Alarm Black Dial SSC095P1 SSC095 SSC095P Mens Watch brings you the chance to own one without those troubles.

Bottom Line: Even those who don’t know much about watches will not think the Seiko Solar Chronograph Tachymeter Mens Watch to be a bad piece either! After all, you can use it as much as you want for which, you have to give it some light every other day.
