A Brief History of the Seiko Alpinist
First introduced in 1961 for Japanese mountaineers, the Seiko Alpinist was designed as a robust and legible tool watch for explorers. Over the decades, it has evolved while maintaining its adventurous spirit.
The SARB017, released in 2006, quickly became one of the most beloved Alpinist models. With its 38mm stainless steel case, 200m water resistance, and classic design, it became the perfect blend of elegance and durability.
