Bridging the iconic alpine exploration heritage of the 1959 Laurel Alpinist with contemporary dual-time travel functionality, the Seiko Prospex 39.5mm represents the ultimate evolution of Seiko’s legendary adventure series. Sculpted in surgical-grade 316L stainless steel fortified with a DiaShield super-hard coating, this field timepiece showcases an iconic sunray forest green dial highlighted by warm gold-toned cathedral hands, wedge indices, an engraved 24-hour steel GMT bezel, and a high-visibility red-tipped 24-hour GMT hand. Driven by the advanced in-house Seiko Calibre 6R54 automatic movement delivering an extended 3-day (72-hour) power reserve, a curved sapphire crystal, an internal rotating compass ring operated by a dedicated 4 o'clock crown, and expedition-grade 200-metre water resistance, it is paired with an authentic dark brown calfskin leather strap with a deployment clasp for effortless worldwide travel and rugged trail exploration.

Design & Craftsmanship
The Alpinist Legacy Meets Mechanical GMT Travel
First introduced in 1959 to serve Japan’s Yama-otoko (mountain men) through treacherous wilderness terrains, the Alpinist line has become one of Seiko’s most celebrated tool watches. Reference HBC007J1 elevates this historic lineage by integrating a mechanical GMT complication into the iconic 39.50 mm case architecture. With a compact 46.40 mm lug-to-lug span and curved lug ergonomics, the watch maintains balanced, comfortable wear whether navigating mountain ascents or international airports.
Sunray Green Dial & 24-Hour Bezel Legibility
The dial captures the visual depth of alpine evergreen forests, finished with a fine radial sunburst grain that shifts under natural light. Polished gold-toned cathedral hands and faceted indices provide warmth and contrast, while high-grade Seiko LumiBrite ensures clear low-light reading. Encircling the dial is an internal compass chapter ring controlled by the crown at 4 o'clock, complemented on the exterior by an engraved radial-brushed 24-hour steel bezel.
In-House 3-Day Calibre 6R54 & Leather Comfort
Beneath the sapphire exhibition case back beats the in-house Seiko Calibre 6R54. With its 72-hour power reserve, the watch remains fully powered and ready across a long three-day weekend without needing winding. The watch is paired with a durable dark brown leather strap secured by a stainless steel three-fold deployment clasp, preventing accidental drops while putting the watch on or taking it off.
