A screw-down crown adds to the water resistance, which ranges from 200 meters to 100 meters, depending on the model.
Mechanical chronographs like the SRQ055 use Seiko’s calibre 8R48 automatic movement, offering a power reserve of approximately 45 hours. Solar quartz chronograph variants, such as the V192, feature a 6-month power reserve on a full solar charge and ±15 seconds accuracy per month.

Applied indices and LumiBrite on hands and markers ensure legibility, while date windows are typically positioned around 4:30. Solar chronographs add subdials for 24-hour time and power reserve.
Some models feature a fixed tachymeter bezel, while the standout SPB513 model incorporates an internal rotating countdown bezel, which counts down from 60 to 0 to track remaining time intervals. This bezel adds a motorsport heritage element, inspired in some editions by automotive themes such as Datsun livery.
Stainless steel bracelets with newly styled links provide improved comfort and sharper aesthetics. Some limited editions come with rally-inspired leather straps.
