2025 Seiko Prospex 'Alpinist' Green 39mm Automatic SPB121J1
When it comes to modern Seikos and references, there really aren't many that come close to the Alpinist in terms of fame. Seiko introduced the Alpinist in 1961 under its Laurel sub-brand, which is Seiko's oldest sub-brand, first introduced in 1913. It was inspired by the Japanese term Yama-Otoko, meaning "Mountain Man." These men required equipment that was robust and accurate, as they led many expeditions. Seiko reintroduced the Alpinist in 1995 after a 30-year gap. Here we have the classic 2025 Seiko Prospex 'Alpinist' Green Automatic SPB121J1. Featuring a satin-brushed 39mm stainless steel case with tapering lugs and polished and brushed flanks, leads to a lug-to-lug length of 46mm and a thickness of 12.5mm, ensuring a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side, we have a screw-down crown with crown guards, and at 4 o’clock, a second crown is used to adjust the rotating inner compass bezel. A stepped, smooth-brushed bezel holds a flat, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, AR-coated on the inside. An outer rotating compass chapter ring encircles the striking sunburst green dial. An outer rotating 360-degree compass minute surrounds a minute track that is precisely executed with LumiBrite pips. Attractive applied gilt Arabic numerals with alternating dagger indexes mark the hours. At 3 o’clock, there is a date window with Cyclops magnification on the sapphire crystal. Elegant LumiBrite-filled gilt cathedral-style hands are complemented by an arrow-point centre-seconds hand. Giving the watch a vintage look and feel. At noon, we have the gold-cloured Seiko, and at 6 o’clock, the Prospex motif Automatic 20Bar completes this striking classic adventurer's timepiece. On the reverse, there is a screw-down exhibition case back, inside an automatic Seiko 6R35, 24 jewels, 21,600 beats per hour. It is paired with its Seiko 20mm strap and a folding clasp. It also comes with a Seiko presentation box, swing tag and papers.
