Deal | Seiko's Prospex Speedtimer solar chronograph (beige dial) is now discounted on Amazon for Black Friday

Seiko’s Prospex Speedtimer SSC817P1, a solar-powered chronograph with a beige dial and blue subdials, has dipped to $509 on Amazon US. This is one of the steadier low-end prices it has held over the past year. The model has been sold mostly through third-party sellers since launch, and the pricing history confirms the same: this $509 listing is coming from The Watch Locker, not Amazon itself.

The Speedtimer line is usually tied closely to Seiko’s professional timekeeping roots, and the SSC817P1 follows that same direction. The 41 mm stainless steel case and bracelet make it a fairly versatile sports watch, while the gold/beige dial gives it a less common color profile compared to the typical black or navy chronographs in the range. The dial uses LumiBrite on hands and markers, and the watch runs entirely on solar charging, which removes the need for frequent battery replacements. It also includes a 60-minute chronograph, date window, tachymeter bezel, and a three-fold clasp with push-button release.

The Amazon specifications and product listings match what Seiko published for this model: a stainless steel case and band, 7-inch bracelet length, and the SSC817P1 model number first listed officially in early 2022. Price history charts from camelcamelcamel show that the SSC817P1 has fluctuated heavily between ~$550 and ~$660 for most of 2024–2025 on third-party listings, with one singular brief dip into the $470 range earlier this year. The highest tracked third-party new price was $899 back in 2022. That places the current $509 offer comfortably near the lower end of its usual trading range, though still above its all-time low.

For buyers waiting for a drop but not necessarily expecting another ~$470 event soon, the present price is quite reasonable. For anyone targeting historically low prices, it may still be worth keeping an eye on holiday stock shifts - especially since this model has repeatedly swung in both directions depending on seller availability.
