Seiko has just launched its latest Prospex Alpinist models – SPB503J1, SPB505J1, and SPB507J1 – and they are now available for purchase on Seiko Singapore’s online store. The stock is depleting quickly, with only a few units left for each model.
Continued Legacy of the Alpinist Series
These new models are an extension of Seiko’s historic Alpinist series, which was first introduced in 1959 to cater to Japanese climbers. Each of the watches incorporates several traditional Alpinist design elements while also featuring modern Prospex specifications. All three models are powered by the 6R55 automatic movement, which offers a 72-hour power reserve, allows for manual winding, and has a precision rating of +25 to -15 seconds per day.
Timeless Design and Durability
Constructed from stainless steel and featuring sapphire crystals with magnifiers, the SPB503J1 and SPB505J1 come with stainless steel bracelets, whereas the SPB507J1 is paired with a brown leather strap. These watches measure 39.5 mm in diameter, have a thickness of 12.7 mm, and are water-resistant up to 200 meters. They also boast Seiko’s unique rotating inner compass bezel, a screw-down crown, and a transparent caseback.
Pricing Options
In terms of pricing, the SPB503J1 showcases an aqua-blue dial and is priced at SGD 1,417 (~$1,089). The SPB505J1 features a sophisticated black dial and is available for the same price. Meanwhile, the SPB507J1, which has a forest-green dial and a brown leather strap, is slightly cheaper at SGD 1,290.60 (~$992). As mentioned before, keen buyers and collectors should hurry, as the initial stock of these watches is nearly sold out as of this moment.
