Seiko SSC771P1 Case
The watch comes with a stainless steel 316L case. Stainless steel 316L is known for its durability, hardness, color stability, anti-allergic properties, and anti-corrosive surface. The case diameter is approximately 41.5 millimeters and the thickness is 12.5 millimeters. The lug width is 20 millimeters, and the distance between the lugs is 49 millimeters.
The PVD-coated black bezel is fixed. It has circular brushing on top and high polished on the side and underside. The unsigned crown has a pull-push mechanism.
The solid screw-down case back is imprinted with Macchina Sportiva. Macchina Sportiva is an Italian word that means “sports car.”
Seiko SSC771P1 Dial
The red dial has a honeycomb texture with alternating deep and bright red sections. It has three subdials at the 12, 6 and 9 o’clock positions. The subdials at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions are used for the chronograph function. The chronograph can measure up to 60 minutes with an accuracy of 1/10 second. The upper chronograph pusher is used to start the chronograph, while the lower pusher is used to reset it. The subdial at the 9 o’clock position has a hexagonal style with crosshair markings. It displays the seconds of the current time.

On the dial’s outer side, a tachymeter is printed in white over a red background. The little date window is located at the 3 o’clock position. It is a little difficult to read.
The dial face is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The hour and minute hands are both lumed, and there is a lume dot at 12 o’clock. The lume color is green.

Seiko SSC771P1 Bracelet
The stainless steel bracelet has a deployment clasp with a push button release. The bracelet is fine; nothing special, but also nothing bad. By removing the links, you can easily adjust the bracelet to fit your wrist.
