The Rise & Fall Of Seiko's Alpinist 1959 to 2021 - Everything You Need To Know: SJE085, SPB209 & 117

Подробнее о видео

We're talking Alpinists all day in today's triple watch review!

In this special episode we'll check out one of the hottest releases from Seiko for 2021—the Seiko 1959 Alpinist Re-Creation Limited-Edition (ref. SJE085). And we'll compare it to two other Seiko watches: the modern (and more affordable) new brown and gold dial (ref. SPB209) and last year's red Alpinist-inspired version (ref. SPB117JI)—a faithful update to the iconic 90s watch.

How do they compare? What are their strengths and weaknesses? What's the story behind their evolution? Will these watches become trendsetters like the emerald green SARB017 or a trio of overpriced flops that will further alienate Seikoholics and fans?

Join me for a look into the rise and fall of the Alpinist, a watch I consider to be one of Seiko's most underrated but important creations.
