Seiko Prospex "Alpinist" SJE085 1959 Re-creation Automatic Watch

Limited Edition 1959 Sports Watch Recreation.

The all-new SJE085 is the long-awaited tribute to Seiko's very first sports watch: the handsome Laurel Alpinist, which was purpose-built in 1959 for Japan's most elite mountaineers.

This new limited edition reference retains the signature oversized luminous triangle markers and svelte profile of its classically mid-century predecessor, albeit with a fully modern Seiko calibre and an upgraded box sapphire crystal.

Designed for the dedicated adventurer, it features such signature notes as the rich brown leather two-layer bund strap with zig-zag stitching and slanted loop, designed to protect the wrist from moisture, and a clean black dial with oversized mountain shaped markers at the 12-, 6- and 9-o'clock positions to ensure superior legibility.

It is limited to 1959 pieces.
