The Seiko Prospex Alpinist SPB121J1 is the latest iteration of an iconic line that has been part of Seiko's line up for over 60 years. It has proven to take a unique spot in Seiko's tremendous line-up, as it's truly a watch aimed at adventurers and blends several styles together. When it comes to watches, most manufacturers, especially the big ones, tend to think in styles, such as dress, sports, aviation, diving etc. and Seiko left that all behind when they came up with this model. Now, if you are a capable cook you may know that when you blend 2 very tasty ingredients it's no guarantee for success. In fact, it tends to be either really bad or really good. The Alpinist marks one of those times where several tasty ingredients become even tastier, by not thinking of styles and groups, but rather creating and experimenting with an open mind.

So what does the SPB121J1P come down to? To start, an elegantly shaped 39.5mm case with a modest 46.4mm lug to lug distance, meaning it will fit most wrists perfectly. Of course the basics are also there, such as 200m water resistance, a sapphire crystal with an AR coating, a high level of finishing and just overall solid materials. One of the biggest improvement found in this edition compared to the predecessors is invisible, as it's under the hood: the in-house Seiko Cal. 6R35 movement. This sturdy workhorse features an impressive 70 hour power reserve.

If we just look at those specifications it could have been any other watch, but where the Alpinist really shines is in the quintessential design queues, such as the internal compass bezel, that can be operated with the crown at 4 o'clock, the date loupe over the window at 3 o'clock, the cathedral hands, polished index markers and the display caseback. All those elements have been on other watches, but rarely in a mix like with this amazing piece.

With the Alpinist you are embracing a 60 year old design that is still looks very contemporary to this day and likely will do so in another 60. While it may not be especially outspoken for a specific activity, it will be a great watch for every day life, both inside and outside, with a ton of character. Even if your cooking mostly consists of using the microwave, it's a very tasty piece of design!

This is definitely the Best modified seiko watch service/Company that you can ever encounter. From the day I start enquiry and converse with the staff in regards to the watch I want to mod for only took few hours to confirm and they can immediately initiate the watch parts orders from overseas to mod parts that I wish for. Staff was polite, responsive shown absolute professionalism and offer several other colour or parts from the watch to offer me more variety of choices to make. Couldn't be anymore satisfied. Great Job Customwatch Haven ! Very good purchasing experience indeed!

Recently bought a new Seiko watch from Customwatch Haven and I couldn't be happier. They had the exact model I was looking for at a competitive price. The staff was friendly and patient, explaining all the features and answering my questions thoroughly. They even helped me adjust the bracelet for a perfect fit. Overall, a great experience and I'll definitely be back for any future watch needs or mod projects.

Customwatch Haven is a watch lover's paradise! They have a massive selection of Seiko and Casio watches, both classic and modern styles. But what truly sets them apart is their extensive collection of mod parts. I was able to completely customize my Casio G-Shock with new colors and functionalities, thanks to their expert advice and wide range of options. They even have pre-modded watches that are absolute eye-catchers. If you're looking for a unique timepiece or want to unleash your inner watchmaker, Customwatch Haven is the place to be!
