Seiko Brand 100th Anniversary Prospex Speedtimer Mechanical Chronograph Limited Edition. Born of perseverance and hope, the history of the Seiko brand name goes back to the aftermath of the devastating Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, when K. Hattori & Co., determined to rebuild, released its 1924 first Seiko branded wristwatch. Part of a special group of limited editions commemorating this pivotal moment, this exceptional timepiece is available only in a controlled-production run of 1,000, with the serial number engraved on each caseback. Based on Seiko’s 1972 Speedtimer precision chronograph, nicknamed “Panda” by fans, and developed with added style and function to appeal to young motorsports enthusiasts, this superbly tailored timepiece features a newly designed thinner case curved to seamlessly connecting to the bracelet for enhanced sport elegance and wearing comfort. Providing chronograph measurement of up to 30 minutes of elapsed time in 1/8-second increments, the proprietary caliber 8R48 34-jewel automatic movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of approximately 45 hours and manual winding capability. The movement includes a column wheel and vertical clutch mechanism allowing for smooth, stutter-free movement of the chronograph hand while providing long-term efficiency, reducing wear and tear and maintaining the power reserve better during chronograph operation. For reliable timing, the three-pointed hammer system ensures that all hands return to zero instantly and in perfect synchronization when the re-set pusher is pressed. Framed by a tachymeter scale, the charcoal-gray dial inspired, like the orange chronograph hand, by the original “Panda” colors, features a date calendar and LumiBrite hands and markers. Adding a note of tailored luxury, the multi-row bracelet provides a sleek, comfortable fit, while the additional black calf leather strap offers versatile wear. Crafted of stainless steel with a super-hard coating, this extraordinary timepiece also features a dual-curved anti-reflective sapphire crystal, screwdown caseback, and tri-fold push button release clasp. Packaged in a Limited Edition collectors’ box. 10 bar, 100M Water Resistant

I recently purchased an Omega timepiece from Craig, and my experience was exceptional from start to finish. Customer service was top-notch; I had a few questions regarding warranties and shipping options, and Craig was responsive and knowledgeable. Craig takes his time in ensuring customer satisfaction! He also ensured I walked out with an amazing deal that no other Jewelers were willing to do. The quality of the watch exceeded my expectations, and I am thrilled with my purchase. Overall, I highly recommend Martin Jewelers for anyone looking to buy a watch. Their commitment to quality and customer service truly sets them apart. I will definitely be shopping here again in the future!

Brought my wife's diamond watch to Martin Jewelers to have it serviced. The watch was finished ahead of schedule, the repair was successful, and it was apparent to me that they had also taken the time to clean the watch very well, bringing back its brilliant luster. I like that there is a separate service area. The folks I interacted with were very polite. The store is beautiful and clean with gleaming display cases and plenty of room to walk around and shop. This was my first visit to Martin Jewelers and I will be back for any of my future needs. Abundant pay parking behind the shop and the rear entrance are accessible to the public.

Top notch service, excellent selections and quality jewelry. I’ve purchased gifts for my wife and daughters over the last ten years and I always have a great experience at Martins. Anyone there was the slightest issue with a piece, they stood behind their product. Jeff is great to work with. I’ll tell him the occasion, set a budget and he always delivers above and beyond. There is a reason why they have 2k five star reviews…..
