Seiko, a name synonymous with precision and innovation in the world of timekeeping, has a remarkable history that spans over a century. From its humble beginnings in Tokyo, Japan, to becoming a global icon, Seiko has consistently pushed the boundaries of watchmaking excellence.
Seiko, a brand known for its commitment to precision and innovation in watchmaking, is thrilled to unveil the Prospex Alpinist Mechanical GMT.
This exceptional timepiece pays homage to the original and beloved Seiko ‘Alpinist,’ first introduced in 1959 for the intrepid Japanese ‘Yama-otoko’ mountain men. Renowned for its reliability in challenging terrains, the Prospex Alpinist Mechanical GMT takes the Alpinist legacy to new heights with a renewed focus on legibility and functionality.
A Nod to Tradition:
The Prospex Alpinist Mechanical GMT proudly carries forward the signature Arabic numerals that have been a hallmark of Alpinist watches for decades. This design choice not only preserves the brand’s heritage but also ensures that time is effortlessly readable, even in the most demanding outdoor environments.
Enhanced Legibility:
Building on the Alpinist’s classic design, Seiko has integrated a curved sapphire glass, which not only adds a touch of sophistication but also enhances legibility. The inclusion of a 24-hour display on the bezel and a prominent red 24-hour hand further improves the watch’s readability, especially for those who frequently travel across time zones.
Practical Features for Adventurers:
For the modern adventurer, the Prospex Alpinist Mechanical GMT offers a practical compass functionality, making it an invaluable companion in the great outdoors. It’s super-hard coating not only gives the watch a striking shine but also provides remarkable scratch resistance, ensuring that it can withstand the rigours of your adventures.
Innovative GMT Movement:
One of the standout features of this timepiece is the in-house-built 6R54 Calibre, marking it as the first mechanical GMT movement in a Prospex watch to boast an impressive three-day power reserve. This extended power reserve allows wearers to track two different time zones simultaneously, making it an ideal choice for globetrotters and frequent travellers.
Availability:
The Prospex Alpinist Mechanical GMT is now available for pre-order exclusively on Seikoboutique.com. Priced at £990, this exceptional watch is a testament to Seiko’s dedication to craftsmanship and precision, making it an attractive choice for both watch enthusiasts and adventurers seeking a reliable and stylish timepiece.
