Seiko Prospex Solar Men's Stainless Steel Chronograph Watch SSC947P1 Big Pogue
Inspired by Seiko's 1969 Speedtimer, the world's first self-winding chronograph, the SSC947, has sparked discussion among enthusiasts due to its similarities and differences with the iconic vintage Seiko "Pogue" watch. The absence of any reference to the historical significance of the Pogue in Seiko's release materials has raised questions about the company's approach to acknowledging the heritage of this timepiece.
The SSC947 features a distinct red-and-blue bezel and a vibrant yellow dial, reminiscent of the vintage Pogue watch worn by Astronaut Colonel William Pogue during the Skylab 4 mission in 1973. However, the differences are notable, as the SSC947 utilizes a solar-powered quartz chronograph movement, in contrast to the original Pogue's automatic movement. Additionally, the dimensions and water resistance of the SSC947 differ from the vintage model.
While the SSC947 may not directly align with the original Pogue in terms of movement and specifications, its design elements pay homage to the iconic timepiece. The release of the SSC947 prompts discussions about the evolution of Seiko's Prospex Speedtimer lineup and the significance of honoring horological history while embracing technological advancements.
