As part of the second generation of the Alpinist series, it succeeded the 1959 Seiko Laurel Alpinist, which was initially designed for Japanese mountain climbers.
Electro-gold-plated (EGP) stainless steel with a stainless steel back. Some wear to gold plating reflective of its age. The case measures approximately 35mm in diameter and 9mm in thickness. Notably, the gold-plated model appears slightly larger than its stainless steel counterpart due to a thinner rehaut, allowing for a more expansive dial display.
Dial is clean and beautiful featuring a pearlescent silver finish with applied gold-tone bar indices.
Equipped with a domed acrylic crystal, typical of watches from this era.
Powered by the Seikosha Caliber 851, a manual-winding movement with 17 jewels operating at 18,000 beats per hour. Serviced and running great.
On a new Seiko chocolate brown, cowhide leather strap.
