In Seiko's storied past, no watch captures that enthusiast spirit better than the Pogue Speedtimer chronograph. Famous for its Pepsi bezel and shining golden dial, the model has become a cornerstone of vintage Seiko collecting, and often serves as proof that the prospective owner has now gone past the enthusiast point of no return. So what better colourway to use for the next version of the popular Seiko Prospex Speedtimer chronograph? Originally released in 2021 in a panda variant, before getting a diameter bump and some colourful, 6139-adjacent bezels, the Prospex Speedtimer Pogue SSC947 finally gets the most revered Seiko colour scheme of them all.

Just found the next watch for my collection. History. Retro flare, And Solar. All wrapped in Seiko reliability, Magic!

@WristwatchWorkshop Месяц назад

As a fellow Seiko fanboy, I don't know if anything could possibly do justice to the original, but I'm thrilled they're trying.

@Timeandtidewatches Месяц назад

Often the book is better than the movie. The original is so coveted a 1:1 revival would obviously be welcome, but to bring Pogue flavour into this collection is a welcome addition as well.

@redletterl78 Месяц назад

Yeah, I think this is an excellent watch in its own right. Gives a flavour of the old, while being part of a modern line of Seiko chronographs.

@Area_man115 9 дней назад

@@TimeandtidewatchesWith the lack of horns on the case, this isn’t in the same continent, let alone anywhere within a rumor of 1:1. Since they didn’t bother with any flare on the dial, they could have hidden the huge solar arrays beneath the dial. The black ring matches the solar arrays, though, which is a plus for some. If any of these transgressions matter, look only to Detroit Mint for a non-cynical tribute.

@glennhaley7404 Месяц назад

Got an original Pogue and I’ll be getting one of these, love it. It’s a re-imagining, a nod to the original, and not trying to recreate it.

@bigfish786 Месяц назад

An automatic version would probably be 4 times the cost, so this solar quartz means it’s affordable to all. I will definitely be getting one to add to my collection, and maybe an original if I can find one.

@Timeandtidewatches Месяц назад

Totally agree - and with vintage Pogues still being somewhat affordable, getting a modern and (much) more expensive version would feel odd.

@samnova450 2 дня назад

I just received this watch today from Japan. For me I know this is not a true “Pogue” watch, but I love the color of the dial. If Seiko released a true mechanical “Pogue” replica, I’m sure that would cost allot more. For me this is my first Chronograph and will enjoy for a long time.

@AccessDeniedCloudStrike20001 10 дней назад

@edteach3r Месяц назад

I own the vintage 6139, which I bought from its first owner 15 years ago. I adore the watch, particularly the fact that any mechanical parts can still be sourced by my venerable Seiko watchmaker in North Vancouver, Hisao Yokota. Nonetheless, it is becoming more challenging to wear frequently as it is irreplaceable, so I would love a newer version… but this is too far from it to scratch that itch.

@rustisamust9079 Месяц назад

I always lusted after the original Pogue seeing it in catalogues as a kid. This modern reinterpretation is great imho. Definitely getting one. Seiko seem to be on a big roll with their heritage recreations/reinterpretations.

@MrMcGuy Месяц назад

I'm buying one. Honestly I love vintage watches, but as an amateur watchmaker there is a LOT of expense involved in buying coveted vintage watches and keeping them running. This is all of the utility, class, purpose and look plus technology rolled into one and it will be available soon. Honestly it's like being able to go back in time and buy a vintage car of your dreams, but with a new, reliable engine and no work required. I'm sold. Side note, I have two Seiko watches and both watches get wrist time regularly. There is something extremely hard to put into words about Seiko's design. Simply put, it is stellar, and you will look at your Seiko over and over again throughout the day. It's like they've figured something out about design like Rolex has. There is just something about certain watches that look 'right'.

@Area_man115 9 дней назад

This is a 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird quality of tribute/homage/re-imagining. An approach by Seiko equally parts tone deaf and cynical, yielding a product with none of the art and grace of the original.

@nimai0108 Месяц назад

If they make an automatic version of this. It will be an instant buy for me.

@retardinho5048 Месяц назад

Such an awesome watch! Sapphire crystal and Solar make it a reliable grab and go watch. No fiddly movement, no setting time date, no expensive maintenance. Just wear and enjoy.

@davidrosenblum2178 Месяц назад

Oh man, I might have to spring for that... I've said it before: if Seiko added an independent adjustment to that 24-hour subdial (pusher in the case maybe?) they'd have a GMT killer on their hands.

@mgraham1996 17 дней назад

Really nice watch, just collected mine and they’re sold old pretty much everywhere where I live now. I like it because it’s quite different colour wise to anything else in my collection. I don’t see it as anything other than retro coloured watch, I’m not gonna get excited about it replicating or even paying tribute to the original, it’s just a nice new watch👍🏻

@peteratherton897 Месяц назад

Folks remember, this watch is not a reissue of the 1973 Pouge. That’s just journalists making the comparison. Seiko does not claim it has anything to do with that watch. It’s just a classic Seiko colorway.

Actually, Seiko did originally list the watch as being a 'Pogue', in both the title and the description, though subsequently removed all references to the name...

The design and colour of the original Pogue is somehow cannot be surpassed, no matter how many inspired models Seiko launches. May be Seiko should just come out with the exact copy of Pogue.

If only it had a minute and an hour counter, or a 1/10 second counter and a minute counter like the awesome Seikos from the 80's. If the 24 hour dial could be independently set it could act as a GMT dial. The unadjustable 24 hour dial that runs in lockstep with the hour hand is useless. I can tell if it is am or pm without help from a watch.

@gmshadowtraders Месяц назад

Maybe the original design got lost? They'd have to do an Omega, and completely rebuild one from scratch.

@keesketsers5866 16 дней назад

Because they are expensive to make. Only a very few chronographs still exist. Pretty much all mass produced chrono's are based on the valjoux or the breitling b01. The rest uses a normal movement with a Dubois Depraz chrono add-on, making the movement very thick and hard to service. It's not gonna happen at Seiko.

I’ve just had one delivered, so looks like I’m the first on here to comment with one actually in my hand, had a Quick Look and it’s being returned. Noooooo waaaaay is this watch worth £600 it’s a £150 watch at best. Looks like any of the cheap Seiko watches they sell in crappy low end high street stores in the UK. The date window is minute and not even framed, the case is cheap looking, no proper finished surfaces just cheap shiny rubbish , the clasp is poor with hardly any micro adjustment, I can guarantee if you buy one you will look at it and instantly regret it and realise it’s a cheap cheap crappy watch for the money. I’m done with Seiko, they are playing on the cult status some of their past success stories and ripping us off with cheap finished, average offerings, at three times their worth. The Orient Mako chronographs are way way better value than these and a third of the price.
