Seiko’s New Speedtimers Pay Tribute to the Legendary Datsun 240Z

Seiko just dropped something seriously cool for motorsport and watch lovers alike: a new line of Prospex Speedtimer chronographs inspired by the legendary 1971 East African Safari Rally winning Datsun 240Z. These aren’t just throwbacks; they’re a tribute to one of the most rugged and iconic rally cars ever, wrapped into three bold, limited edition timepieces. With styling cues pulled straight from the Datsun’s dashboard, the watches pack serious vintage flair, think deep black dials, race car fonts, and vivid pops of red, yellow, and blue that scream 70s adrenaline. There’s something for everyone in this trio: a solar powered daily driver, a slick mechanical chronograph with real racing pedigree, and a sleek time only model that nails the vintage vibe. Each one feels like it belongs on the wrist of a driver pushing through the dust and chaos of the African plains. Whether you’re into cars, chronographs, or just love gear with a story, these new Speedtimers are a celebration of grit, style, and serious Seiko heritage. Keep an eye out, they drop this September and they won’t stick around for long.
