Alpinist

The Seiko Alpinist series is one of the brand's most iconic collections, designed with durability, style, and functionality at its core. First introduced in 1961, the Alpinist was crafted for mountain climbers and adventurers, making it one of Seiko’s earliest purpose-built sports watches. Its original design focused on providing reliable performance in rugged environments, equipped with features suited to outdoor challenges.

Over the years, the Seiko Alpinist has evolved but retained its adventurous spirit. Modern Alpinist models, like the SARB017 and SPB series, combine vintage-inspired aesthetics with advanced watchmaking technology. Known for their unique green and sunburst dials, cathedral hands, and compass bezel, Alpinist watches stand out for their distinctive design and functionality. The internal rotating compass bezel is one of the series' signature features, useful for orientation and aligning with the Alpinist’s rugged theme.

Under the hood, the Alpinist series typically houses Seiko’s reliable automatic movements, such as the 6R15 and the more recent 6R35, providing an impressive power reserve and accuracy. The watches are water-resistant up to 200 meters, adding to their appeal as durable adventure timepieces.
