SEIKO

Prospex Alpinist "The Deep Forest" Automatic 38mm | SPB249J1 / SPB249 (6R35-01M0)

Product Overview
The SEIKO Prospex Alpinist SPB249 (international ref. SPB249J1) is a highly sought-after, modern reinterpretation of Seiko's legendary 1959 Alpinist—originally designed for Japanese mountain climbers ("Yama-otoko"). This striking contemporary sports watch features a breathtaking deep navy blue dial with a vertical textured pattern inspired by the deep, tranquil forests of Japan. It is equipped with sharp, multi-faceted markers and elegant hands accented with high-visibility LumiBrite. Boasting a robust 20-bar (200m) water resistance, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and powered by the premium Caliber 6R35 automatic movement with an impressive 70-hour power reserve, this timepiece beautifully balances rugged outdoor reliability with refined, everyday elegance.
