Inspired by Seiko’s first sports watch, the 1959 Alpinist, this rugged, yet stylish, watch features the iconic wedge-shaped markers, bold numerals and stylized hands of the original, along with 24-hour GMT timing. An upgraded curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective inner coating adds reliable visibility, while the new inner rotating compass bezel makes it ideal for hiking and outdoor activities. Framed by a 24-hour GMT bezel, the brilliant blue sunray dial includes a date calendar, LumiBrite hands and markers, and a red-tipped GMT hand. The 24-jewel automatic movement, visible through the see-through screwdown caseback, beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers an exceptional power reserve of 72 hours, as well as manual winding capability. Crafted of stainless steel with durable super-hard coating and a secure screwdown crown, this superb timepiece also features a blue calf leather strap with tri-fold push button release clasp.
