SEIKO PROSPEX – Alpinist 1959 Recreation Limited Edition SJE085J1

Seiko Prospex Alpinist 1959 Recreation Watch

The Seiko Prospex Alpinist 1959 Recreation Watch is new for 2021. The original ‘Alpinist,’ was first launched in 1959 exclusively for the Japanese market. Designed for Japanese ‘Yama-otoko’ mountain men; the watch had to be reliable in treacherous terrain. However, Alpinist became so popular amongst Seiko fans that it was launched globally.

Limited Edition: 1959 Pieces

This watch is a modern recreation of the original and is perfect for lovers of the great outdoors. Also, limited to just 1,959 individually numbered pieces, it is a special piece.

Case, Dial, Strap

Firstly, a protective leather bracelet is a key feature of this watch. Designed for comfort, it protects the wearer from the effects of cold metal on the skin in high altitudes. Secondly, the strap itself has brown zig-zag stitching down each side and secures to the wrist with a sturdy pin-buckle. Moreover, the design remains inherently practical – powered by the comfortable slim 6L movement with highly visible lumibrite on the dial and hands, easy to see in any light.

Additionally, a date window at at 5 o’clock is a useful addition. Furthermore, the watch is presented in a special Limited Edition presentation box.
