In the title hydrate, C16H15BrO2SSe·H2O, the sulfinyl O atom lies on the opposite side of the molecule to the Se and carbonyl O atoms. The benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 51.66 (17)° and are splayed with respect to each other. The observed conformation allows the water molecules to bridge sulfinyl O atoms via O—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating a linear supramolecular chain along the b axis; the chain is further stabilized by C—H...O contacts. The chains are held in place in the crystal structure by C...H...π and C—Br...π interactions.
