It is a screw case back with an open window making it possible to view the movement inside. It is water-resistant to 200M meaning that you are able to swim and dive with your watch without having to worry about the watch not being able to handle the static pressure. For a more formal dinner, the original leather strap is a good alternative, while a nato strap might give you a more relaxed or sporty look. Once you get this going it is really simple to change the strap of the watch to a more fitting strap depending on what you are about to attend. The case does require the user to remove the spring bars from the inside, which might take some practice but is a rather simple task.

The lug-to-lug size is 46.4MM, and with the original leather strap that comes with the watch, it both be used as a dress watch but also a professional tool-watch. The case is in stainless steel and measures 39.5MM and really is a great size for all wrists. The white LumiBrite hands are a great contrast from the green sunburst dial which makes it easy to tell the time.

LumiBrite is richly applied to the hands and because of this, it is really easy to tell the time in the dark. The hands are golden with the classical Alpinist minute, hour, and seconds hand.

The SPB121 is equipped with an inner rotatable compass ring which can be turned using the crown positioned at the 4 oвЂ™clock position. The Prospex logo not only makes a tough statement, that this would be a professional watch from Seiko, but is also new for the Alpinist series. Three lines of text and the prospex logo can be found printed with white lettering at the bottom centered of the dial. An applied Seiko logo is positioned in the center at 12 oвЂ™clock. The Dial is sunburst green with applied golden numeral indexes and lume dots with Seikos own LumiBrite. As an Amazon Associate, we may earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you.

LetвЂ™s take a deeper look at this watch and understand why this watch is a must-have and is so desirable by watch enthusiasts worldwide! This watch features an automatic movement, 39,5mm, stainless steel, and green dial with gold markers and hands. In January 2020 Seiko once again released three new Alpinists for the market, one which perhaps is the most desirable, the Seiko Alpinist SPB121. The alpinist has since its release in 1961 been in production from time to time, but ever since the fourth generation of the Alpinist was released in 2003 the demand for these watches has increased significantly. As Japan mostly is covered by Mountains the men who worked and spent their free-time there really needed a reliable watch that could handle the rugged terrain without having to worry too much about the accuracy. The inspiration for this watch came from вЂќYama-OtokoвЂќ, which means mountain men in Japanese, and this is the original purpose this watch was made for. In 1961 Seiko first introduced their first serious professional sports watch meant to be worn by Japanese mountain climbers.
