The Datsun 240Z and Prospex Speedtimer: New collaboration...

I really, really want one of these. If my 289Z were fully restored and I had no need to spend money on it, I would definitely get one.

SWEET!! I like the “517” series myself.

Probably as close as I'll get is the store sign. lol!!

Come on now!!!😂

@Mike Think we could fenagle a group buy?

You are in charge of negotiations of course!!!

The recommended prices on the website range from $1235 to $2665 to $3380 in US dollars. I have always owned Seikos and really like them but I don't wear a watch like I used to. As much as I would like to get one, they're too pricey for me. I can't see spending more than $500 for a watch / chronograph (old school) like that. Hell, I could get a Heuer for $3400.

The big irony with this latest Z-related Seiko limited edition is that - despite the big SEIKO stickers on a few of the Works rally cars (in some cases applied post-event...) the cars themselves were usually fitted with Kanto Seiki 'stopwatch' clocks and a matched pair of a HEUER 'Master Time' 8-day clock and 'Monte Carlo' stopwatch.

The Heuers were there simply because that's what the international crews - especially the navigators - were used to trusting. Accurate stage timing - leaving and entering controls, special stages, road sections and service halts - was absolutely vital in the big events and HEUER were the go-to.

No disrespect to Seiko - I've got a small collection of vintage Seikos and I wear one every day - but there were no actual Seikos in the cars this new limited edition links to.

I snagged one of the earlier Nismo Safari Z Seiko’s back in 2023. They were a bargain at $299.

I’d completely forgotten about it until a friend mentioned this new series and asked if I seen the news about it.

Maybe it will be worth $399 at some point…..
