The Alpinist dates back to 1959, when Seiko built it for Japanese mountaineers. The SPB121 is the modern version: an emerald sunburst dial, gold-tone markers, an inner rotating compass ring and two crowns. At 39.5 mm with 200 m water resistance, it’s dressy enough for the office and tough enough for the trail.
Who it’s for
People who want a versatile, distinctive everyday watch with a story, and fans of green dials.
Buying tips
- It replaced the much-loved SARB017. Collectors pay more for that discontinued reference. Track both if you’re undecided.
- The 6R35 can run fast or slow out of the box. Ask about timekeeping on used pieces.
- Black, white and limited dials (SPB117, SPB119 and others) share the case. Prices vary by dial.
