Seiko Solar Chronograph Alarm v172-0ar0

Description

Description: The 2011 Seiko Solar Pilot Alarm Chronograph SSC009 offers a loud alarm, a bidirectionally rotating Breitling-style slide-rule bezel, as well as a 60-minute chronograph accurate up to 1/5th of a second. The movement hosted Seiko’s own Caliber V172 quartz movement. The V172 is one of their infamous “jewelless” calibers. The Solar Pilot Chronograph sports a traditional alarm sub-dial, a small seconds indicator, as well as a 60-minute chronograph counter that are placed at 6, 9, and 12 o’clock respectively. At 9 o’clock, there is a standard date aperture. Fully charged, the watch can work in total darkness for as long as six months!

I purchased this watch not fully functioning, but was able to get it fully functioning.
