The Mountain Spirit, Re‑Imagined.
The Seiko Alpinist SPB243J1 (2021) channels the spirit of the 1959 Laurel Alpinist in a modern, exploration‑ready package. Powered by the reliable 6R35 automatic movement with a long power reserve, the SPB243J1 pairs a refined grey dial and bold triangular hour markers with a robust stainless‑steel case, sapphire crystal, and 200m water resistance—making it equally at home on the trail or in the city.
This modern re‑interpretation preserves the vintage character of the original while offering contemporary durability and precision, which is why collectors value it as a versatile, heritage‑rich piece.
