This is a Prospex watch so you know you have little to worry about once you get one of these. Stark white indices might have been a bit less visually satisfying. This particular color of both the hands and the applied indices looks nice with the sunburst dial. It is not distracting at all and doesn’t feel kitch, which is a problem for a lot of faux patina dials out there. However, in the metal and hopefully also visible in these pictures the shade is indeed very subtle. When browsing online, or even in Seiko’s catalogue, some of you might be a bit taken back by the faux patina. The black dial would be my pick for an “only watch” as it has the most versatile look of the three. If you want just one watch – oh the horror – then there is plenty of reason to look into this new trio released by Seiko. From the beach to the boardroom, you can cover that and everything in between with just one of these. I’ll start right away by stating the following: If you are looking for a robust “only” watch that can go anywhere and do anything (“GADA”) – Seiko has something for you here. There are two other versions available, the SPB241 with its creamy white dial on steel bracelet and the green dial SPB245 on a leather strap. We are looking at the SPB243 with its black dial on a steel bracelet. Now joining the Alpinist Prospex family is this new, no frills but plenty of thrills, Alpinist SPB243, SPB241 and SPB245. Since it has been around for a while now, the Alpinist is available in a few variations. The Seiko Alpinist has quite the story to tell, and nowadays it sits firmly in the Prospex family at Seiko.
The original Alpinist by Seiko is a watch that was specifically made to survive the harshest conditions thrown at the world’s greatest mountain climbers.
