Seiko Prospex Speedtimer SBER007 (Budapest ’23 Limited Edition)

The Story

Created in 2023 to commemorate the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, the Prospex Speedtimer SBER007 represents Seiko’s modern continuation of its long-standing relationship with professional timekeeping in global sport.

Produced in a strictly limited run of 4,000 pieces, this reference draws inspiration from Seiko’s historic Speedtimer chronographs while applying contemporary materials, solar-powered technology, and a stealth black aesthetic. Designed as a functional instrument rather than a decorative piece, it reflects Seiko’s ongoing commitment to precision, durability, and purpose-driven design.

Now removed from its original moment, this watch begins its next chapter, carrying both its commemorative origin and the marks of careful ownership into the future.

Collector’s Note

This Speedtimer stands apart from standard Prospex models due to its limited production, event-specific caseback engraving, and restrained monochrome design accented with subtle gold detailing. Unlike purely nostalgic reissues, the SBER007 is a contemporary tool watch designed to be worn, used, and lived with.

While not vintage, its significance lies in its purpose and scarcity rather than age. For collectors drawn to Seiko’s sporting heritage, modern limited editions, and watches with clearly defined provenance, this reference offers a compelling balance of usability and collectability.
