Up for auction is a highly collectible and pristine example of the Seiko Prospex 1959 First Alpinist Reissue. This limited-edition timepiece is a faithful, premium recreation of Seiko’s legendary 1959 Alpinist—the brand's very first dedicated sports watch designed for Japanese mountain climbers (Yama-otoko).

Equipped with the high-grade, ultra-thin Caliber 6L35, this model beautifully mirrors the vintage proportions of the original while delivering modern luxury performance. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Seiko history in unused condition.
