Which one I'd pick
Which one: SSC813 is the white 'panda' dial on a bracelet. Seiko lists it as no longer available, so buy pre-owned or leftover stock.
What to check before you buy
- Exact reference: dial colour, size and strap change the price. Match the full ref (SSC813) before comparing deals.
- Fakes and red flags: be wary of prices far below the ranges above, stock photos only, or sellers who won't show the caseback, serial and papers.

History
Seiko was founded in Tokyo in 1881 by Kintarō Hattori; it launched Japan's first diver's wristwatch in 1965 and introduced the world's first commercial quartz wristwatch in 1969.
Seiko says the Speedtimer solar chronographs inherit the design of its 1960s-70s Speedtimer series and use the solar Caliber V192; Seiko's global site lists SSC813 as no longer available.
