Seiko - Prospex Alpinist 145th Anniversary Limited Edition HBC006J

WHAT WE LOVE:

The Seiko Prospex Alpinist 145th Anniversary Limited Edition HBC006J celebrates Seiko’s remarkable heritage with a distinctive design inspired by Edo purple, a colour deeply rooted in the aesthetic traditions of historic Tokyo. Limited to 7,000 pieces worldwide, this special edition pays tribute to Japan’s enduring spirit of creativity, bringing cultural significance and contemporary elegance to a much loved sports watch.

The captivating purple dial offers a refined interpretation of this historic hue, complemented by LumiBrite hands and indexes for excellent legibility in low light. A stainless steel case with super hard coating lends durability and a sophisticated finish, while the sapphire crystal features an anti reflective coating on its inner surface. The rich leather strap completes the look with timeless character, making this Alpinist equally at home on outdoor adventures and in everyday settings.

Measuring 39.5 mm in diameter, the watch strikes a versatile balance between sporting presence and understated refinement. A three fold clasp with push button release ensures a secure and comfortable fit, while 200 metres of water resistance reinforces its practical credentials. Rooted in the legacy of the original 1959 Laurel Alpinist, this anniversary edition combines Seiko’s pioneering outdoor watchmaking with a rare and culturally inspired aesthetic.
