SSC293

Overview

The Seiko Prospex SSC293 (V172-0AL0) is a 42mm men's solar watch with a stainless steel case and a black analog dial protected by hardlex crystal. It uses a V172 caliber quartz movement. The watch should run for up to 6 months when fully charged and will recharge when placed in the light.

The SSC293 is currently ranked #20 in popularity out of 1,137 watches in this catalog and is on sale for $524.32 on Amazon.com (as of 2020‑07‑10 07:00 PDT - Details).

SSC293 is only a partial model number. [learn more]

The case of the SSC293 measures approximately 42mm wide (not including the crown) by 13mm 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 does not screw down which increases the risk that it could be pulled out accidentally while under water. The stainless steel bezel is fixed (cannot be rotated). The inner bezel can be rotated using the second crown to adjust the compass directions. The gap between the lugs is 21mm and the canvas band can be removed using a band removal tool to be replaced with another band.

    Transform the look of this watch by adding a 21mm leather band such as a Hadley Roma or Hirsch.
