Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Pogue Solar HBJ004P1

This model is affectionately known as "Pogue," in reference to astronaut William Pogue. On November 16, 1973, he brought his Seiko watch with him on a training mission. The watch was not certified for spaceflight by NASA, but he decided to use his personal watch anyway. "I found it very useful for measuring fuel consumption," he recounts. During the official mission, Pogue wore his Seiko on his left arm. This mission, Skylab 4, was the longest ever, lasting 84 days and completing 1,214 orbits around Earth.

Motorsports at your fingertips The two-tone aluminum bezel with a tachymeter scale emphasizes the sporty character of the watch: a distinctive feature from the Speedtimer archive. The broad indices and characteristic hour and minute hands, both coated with LumiBrite, ensure excellent readability even in low-light conditions. The contrasting subdials stand out sharply against the main dial, making the chronograph readings easy to read at a glance. The sporty metal bracelet is custom-shaped for the 41mm case and tapers from the lugs towards the clasp, giving the watch a balanced yet impactful presence on the wrist.
