1. Seiko SSC139 Excelsior Ion Finish Solar Chronograph
FEATURES
Case Diameter: 43mm
Case Thickness: 12mm
Dial Window Material Type: Hardlex
Bezel Material: Stainless Steel
Band Material: Stainless Steel
Band Width: 22mm
Band Color/Dial Colour: Two-Tone/Black
Movement: Seiko Solar Powered Japanese Quartz V172
Water Resistance: 100 meters (330 feet)
If looks could kill, the makers of ‘Terminator’ would’ve definitely considered equipping Arnold Shwartzeneger with the Seiko SSC139 Excelsior, for his role! It’s also a great watch to adorn if you’re planning on getting lucky anytime soon!
This handsome watch has everything going for itself. It’s loved for both its killer great looks and its capabilities. In addition to its looks, it’s got everyone on the internet raving about its durability and overall quality. Needless to say, it complements most fashion styles.
The Excelsior is a manly timepiece. On the other hand, its distinctive look may turn you off completely if you can’t associate with such intense boldness at the moment. While the styling is gladiatorial, it requires almost no maintenance. Being a solar powered Japanese quartz (caliber V172) movement watch, it doesn’t require winding or battery changes. When fully charged it can go on for up to 6 months. Its eco-friendly in its truest sense.
One of the most eccentric attributes of this watch is its unique two-tone and snake like bracelet. Overall, the silver-gunmetal color combination of the case, dial, and bracelet, makes for a classic yet contemporary timepiece. If you want a watch that’s a few steps apart from traditional styling, then this one’s for you.
The SSC139 Excelsior has a chronograph (stopwatch) that times up to an hour. It also has an alarm. It has a water resistance rating of 100 meters (330 feet), making it unsuitable for deep-water activities like scuba diving. Such features are bountiful, given that it’s a mid-range Seiko watch.
There’s more from where that’s coming! Here’s the low-down on the incredible case, dial (Hardlex window material), and everything associated with the stunner. The 43mm case has a stunning silver half-moon design on either corner of the gunmetal bezel. The chronograph is controllable through the two silver buttons (one above and the other below the crown) on the right side.
The black main dial has three sub-dials within, for the alarm, seconds counter, and the chronograph. The watch hands and the silver hour markings are all fluorescent. Viewing the watch time and subdials is a breeze when in darkness. The only noticeable drawback with this watch is the easily overlooked silver on black date display at the 3 o’clock position.
Excelsior means, “Ever upward,” which is where you’re headed in life if you adorn this exquisite timepiece.
PROS
- Overall distinctive silver-gunmetal color combination and macho look is sure to turn heads
- Most flamboyant bracelet design
- Solar powered, thus requires no maintenance
CONS
- Some find the design too daring to carry off
- The date display is easily overlooked
