Seiko Prospex Alpinist Automatic Watch – SPB121J1
Some watches are simply built to last. The Seiko Alpinist is one of them. First created in 1959 for Japanese Yama-otoko, the mountain guides who navigated treacherous terrain on behalf of travellers, the Alpinist was designed with a single purpose: to be completely trustworthy in the wild. Over sixty years later, that purpose has not changed, but the specification has been significantly upgraded for a global audience.
The SPB121J1 is the watch that brought the Alpinist to the world. Previously available only in Japan, this model opened the collection up to international fans who had long admired it from afar. The sunray finished green dial with gold accents and distinctive cathedral hands is immediately recognisable, and the internal rotating compass bezel, operated via the dedicated crown at 4 oclock, is a genuinely useful tool for anyone spending time outdoors. The sapphire crystal with anti-reflective inner coating and cyclops date magnifier adds both practicality and refinement.
Under the case back, visible through the exhibition display, is Seikos 6R35 automatic movement with an impressive 70 hour power reserve, meaning you can take it off on a Friday evening and it will still be running Monday morning. At 39.5mm with a slim 13.2mm profile it wears comfortably on the wrist, paired with a brown leather strap and secure tri-fold clasp. Water resistant to 200m, it is built for adventure whether you are scaling a mountain or simply living an active life.
This is a watch with genuine heritage, genuine character and a following that speaks for itself. Supplied with a 2 year Manufacturer Guarantee and Seiko presentation box.
