Product Description

Prospex Alpinist. Designed for those who treat life as the ultimate adventure, the Seiko Prospex line meets every challenge with technological excellence and style. This extraordinary timepiece re-interprets the watch that launched a rich legacy of sports watch excellence. Styled to fit contemporary tastes while evoking a vintage feel, this exceptional watch is as smooth and refined as the prized 1959 version, but far more powerful. The blue dial includes the original’s mountain-shaped markers at 12, 6 and 9, ensuring legibility while referring to its mountaineering inspiration, as well as LumiBrite hands and markers, a date calendar and a curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inner surface. The screwdown see-through caseback provides a view of the 24-jewel automatic movement, which beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, and offers manual winding capability. In stainless steel, with tri-fold push button release clasp. 20 bar, 200M Water Resistant.

Brand History

Seiko, founded in 1881 by Kintaro Hattori in Tokyo, began as a watch and clock repair shop before launching its first wristwatch, the Laurel, in 1913. The Seiko brand debuted in 1924, symbolizing precision and craftsmanship. In 1969, Seiko revolutionized the industry with the Seiko Astron, the world’s first quartz wristwatch. The company also pioneered technologies like the Kinetic in the 1980s and Spring Drive in 1999, blending mechanical elegance with quartz accuracy. Today, Seiko is renowned for its innovations and diverse offerings, from affordable watches to high-end models under its Grand Seiko line.
