Prospex Alpinist. Seiko Prospex challenges every limit with timepieces created to exceed expectations, engineered with superior style and innovative technology for the sea, sky or land. Driven by a heritage of iconic design, Prospex continues to keep going forward with excellence in precision timekeeping, crafted for the modern world. Inspired by Seiko’s first sports watch, introduced in 1959 for daring mountaineers, this tailored, yet rugged creation celebrates the rise to high-intensity timekeeping by prominently displaying the Alpinist logo on the dial. Equipped with a rotating inner compass bezel for outdoor adventure, the iconic design features a green dial, a color theme pulled from the archives, with the signature Arabic numerals and wedge shaped indices of the series in gold as well as LumiBrite hands and markers. Visible through the transparent caseback, marked with the trademark Alpinist “mountain” symbol, the 24-jewel automatic movement beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour with a power reserve of approximately 72 hours and manual winding capability. Crafted of stainless steel with super-hard coating, paired with a brown calf leather strap sourced from an LWG certified tannery. 20 Bar, 200m Water Resistant

Seiko's journey, which began in 1881, is a remarkable story of vision, innovation, and dedication. When Kintaro Hattori, a 21-year-old entrepreneur, opened his small shop in Tokyo’s bustling Ginza district, he laid the foundation for what would become one of the world’s most respected watchmaking companies. Initially, Hattori focused on selling and repairing watches and clocks, but his ambition was far greater. He envisioned creating timepieces that would not only be precise but also reflect the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship.
In 1892, just over a decade after opening his shop, Hattori took a significant step forward by founding Seikosha, a factory dedicated to producing wall clocks. The name "Seikosha" means "House of Exquisite Workmanship," and it represented Hattori’s commitment to quality. By 1913, Seikosha had produced Japan’s very first wristwatch, the Laurel, marking a historic milestone for both the company and the nation’s watchmaking industry.
