Overview

The Seiko SSC281 is a 45mm men's solar watch with a stainless steel case and a blue analog dial protected by hardlex crystal. It uses a V175 caliber quartz movement. The watch should run for up to 6 months when fully charged and will recharge when placed in the light.

The SSC281 is currently ranked #212 in popularity out of 1,137 watches in this catalog and is on sale for $150.00 on Amazon.com (as of 2020‑07‑10 03:00 PDT - Details).

SSC281 is only a partial model number. [learn more]

The case of the SSC281 measures approximately 45mm wide (not including the crown) by 14mm thick and is water resistant to 100 meters. This should be sufficient for splashes, rain, baths, showers & swimming (shallow diving) but is not recommended for scuba diving. The crown screws down to help prevent it from being accidentally pulled out while under water. The stainless steel bezel is fixed (cannot be rotated). The gap between the lugs is 24mm and the bracelet band can be adjusted to fit using a link removal tool but may be difficult to replace with another band due to the shape of the lugs.

The SSC281 provides the following features and complications:

  • Second hand
  • Seconds subdial
  • Minute hand
  • Hour hand
  • 24 hour subdial to show if it is morning or night
  • Chronograph that includes a subdial for minutes with a minimum resolution of 1/5 second and a maximum duration of 60 minutes. The central second hand is used by the chronograph. When the chronograph is not in use this hand is stationary. Seconds are shown on the seconds subdial.
  • Date window to show the day of the month. Note that some watches may be damaged if you attempt to change the date between 8:00 PM and 2:00 AM, in which case you should change the time to be outside that range first then reset the time after adjusting the date. Check your watch manual for details.
