In 1969, Seiko released the world's first automatic chronograph equipped with both vertical clutch and column wheel, known as the Seiko Speedtimer. One piece from the first 6139 Speedtimer series rose to stardom as the first automatic chronograph to travel in space: in the 70s, NASA astronaut Colonel William Pogue took the original chronograph on a mission to Skylab - the first US space station. The watch became nicknamed the ‘Pogue’ after its star explorer wearer.

About This Product
SSC947P1P
This modern re-interpretation is equipped with an ultra-scratch resistant curved sapphire glass with an anti-reflective coating on the inner surface that imparts superior dial clarity for the user and showcases the vivid yellow dial, characteristic of the 6139 original. The watch is also sealed to 100m water resistance and as such is perfect for general water sports use. Accurately recreating the 'Pogue,' the second hand, and subdial minute hand at 6 o'clock are in a bright red. With 12 spots of Lumibrite across each of the wide vintage-style indices, this Speedtimer is designed for legibility in dark conditions. In the style of the original, this piece has a blue and red aluminium bezel with a tachymeter feature. The bracelet is tapered from the lugs all the way to the buckle and secured with a push button tri-fold clasp.

SEIKO BRAND STORY
The story of Seiko began in 1881, when a 21 year old entrepreneur, Kintaro Hattori, opened a shop selling and repairing watches and clocks in central Tokyo. The shop specialises in repairing watches and clocks. Eleven years later, in 1892, Kintaro opened up his manufacturing facility, Seikosha, which primarily focused on producing wall clocks. Fun fact: Seikosha combines the word seiko (成功,) meaning “exquisite” or “success,” and sha, meaning “house” in Japanese. The translation of Seikosha is “exquisite or success house.”
Today, after more than 130 years of innovation, Seiko is able to design and develop all the components of a watch, as well as assemble, adjust, inspect and ship them in-house. Seiko's mechanical watches consist of approximately 200 parts, and the company has the technology and production facilities to design and manufacture all of these parts in-house, Kintaro Hattori’s company is still dedicated to the perfection that the founder always strove to achieve.
WE ARE H2 HUB
The inception of H2 Hub traces back to a visionary idea conceived by James Woo, the second-generation leader of a prominent watch retail chain store in Singapore. The year was 1970 when the idea to create a new space for fine Swiss and Japanese watches to thrive and cater to a broader market was born. The conventional approach of promoting watches through distinguished models in commercial and mundane ways failed to appeal to Woo. He observed that watch brands overlooked the distinctiveness that sets them apart. After all, watches are not just functional timepieces but a reflection of an individual's lifestyle.
This love sparked H2 Hub’s journey into the world of blogging and live streaming, where we want to bring something refreshing, raw and sexy for watch enthusiasts around the world. Something that can be appreciated not just by a 'refined gentleman', but also by the up and coming, image conscious younger generation as well.
