Seiko has become a well-respected brand whose watches have been enjoyed by millions since its founding in 1881. The brand is an undisputed king of watchmaking - from its first mechanical watch in 1913 to the 2014 prize at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) for its hi-beat caliber. In recent years, Seiko has worked hard to streamline its offerings. The Prospex and Presage lines have become more defined and stand on their own capably. Today’s watch is not from the Prospex or Presage range but the lesser-known Seiko Selection. The Selection range is a newer series from the Japanese brand that has garnered attention from many watch enthusiasts. From the first collaboration in 2017 with famous automobile designer, Giorgetto Giugiaro to Pokémon special models in 2020, the Seiko Selection range never disappoints with its special edition timepieces. However, the Selection range can also take pride in its multitude of affordable watches with timeless designs. The watch we’re taking a look at today is precisely that. Seiko Selection Solar Chronograph Panda Ref. SBPY165 With a 42.2mm diameter, the watch has a lug-to-lug of 48.3mm and a thickness of 12.2mm. Do not let the diameter put you off, as the relatively short lug-to-lug coupled with the curved profile of the lugs will help the watch wear comfortably on the wrist and suit most wrist sizes. The SBPY165 is made of 316L stainless steel and features a mixture of satin-brushed and high-polished finishing. The bevelled edges of the lugs are polished, while the rest of the case is finely satin-brushed. Such a level of detailing is usually unseen for an entry-level watch, but Seiko manages to outdo itself again. The dial configuration is the classic and much-loved panda layout - a white dial with black subdials. Stick indices are used throughout, with the indices at 3,6 and 9 shortened to accommodate the chronograph subdials. Seiko went with the classic 3-6-9 layout here, with the ticking second hand at 3, a 60-minute
