This 41.5mm stainless steel timepiece features a striking sunburst blue dial framed by a tachymeter bezel, creating a compelling visual presence that transitions seamlessly from boardroom to weekend adventure. The tri-compax chronograph layout, with its contrasting silver sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, delivers exceptional legibility and functionality, while the applied luminous indices and hands ensure visibility in all lighting conditions.
Powered by Seiko's reliable 8T63 quartz chronograph movement, this watch offers exceptional accuracy and a chronograph function measuring up to 60 minutes in 1/5-second increments.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: Yes, with 100-metre water resistance, the SSB427P1 is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water activities. However, we do not recommend operating the chronograph pushers underwater, as this may compromise the water seal. The crown should always be pushed in fully before water exposure.
Q: How often does the battery need replacement?
A: Seiko quartz chronograph movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life depending on chronograph usage. When battery replacement is needed, we recommend having this performed by our authorised service centre to maintain water resistance and warranty validity.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The five-link stainless steel bracelet features removable links for precise sizing. Visit our Mall of the South boutique for complimentary professional bracelet adjustment, or we can size the watch before dispatch for online purchases if you provide your wrist measurement.
Q: What is the tachymeter bezel used for?
A: The tachymeter scale allows you to calculate speed based on travel time over a fixed distance (typically one kilometre). Start the chronograph at the beginning of the measured distance and stop it at the end — the chronograph seconds hand will indicate your average speed on the tachymeter scale.
Q: Is this watch made in Japan?
A: Yes, the SSB427P1 features a Japan-made Seiko 8T63 quartz chronograph movement, ensuring the precision and reliability Seiko is renowned for globally.
Q: Does this model have luminous hands and markers?
A: Yes, the hour markers and hands feature luminous material for excellent visibility in low-light conditions, making the watch practical for evening wear and early morning use.
Q: What warranty coverage does this watch include?
A: As an authorised Seiko retailer, we provide the full 3-year international Seiko manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is valid from your date of purchase and requires retention of your original receipt.
