The Seiko Alpinist series has a long history dating back to 1959 when the first Alpinist watch was introduced. Built for Japanese mountaineers, these watches were designed to be tough and reliable companions for outdoor activities. Now, Seiko has released a new addition to the series: the Seiko Prospex Alpinist European Limited Edition “Rock Face” SPB355.
This limited edition watch is inspired by the rugged rock face of the European mountain range and is exclusively available in Europe. It features a textured silver/gray dial that reveals a different expression depending on the viewing angle. The blue accents on the applied markers, numerals, cathedral hands, and inner bezel are meant to imitate the shadows cast by mountains in sunlight.
The SPB355 is equipped with Seiko Calibre 6R35, which delivers a power reserve of 70 hours. It has a rotating compass bezel and is water resistant up to 20 bar, making it perfect for those who enjoy land sports such as trekking and mountain climbing. The glass is sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on the inner surface and magnifies the date at 3 o’clock.
This Seiko Alpinist Limited Edition watch comes in a special box with additional blue calf straps. It is available in November 2022 and is limited to 3,000 pieces. If you’re interested in purchasing this unique timepiece, you can find it at WatchOutz.com.
In conclusion, the Seiko Alpinist SPB355 is a unique and eye-catching addition to the Alpinist series. Its combination of design elements and features makes it a great companion for outdoor activities while its limited edition status adds to its appeal.
