SEIKOProspex Alpinist Limited Model SBDC091 Made in Japan

This Seiko Alpinist is the 2020 version of one having a near 20-year run, but this one has a new internal 6R35 movement with a 70-hour reserve. You can read the reviews for the SBDC091. It's a beautiful watch with an eye-catching emerald face, a new cyclops magnifier for the date at 3 o'clock, excellent luminescence, and it is simply attractive all around. And, if you get lost in the green forest, you can use this watch as a crude compass! I really like it. Here is the 'however': I do wish Seiko would have included a longer band - say another half inch to an inch is all it would need. As it is, I have a 7-1/2 inch wrist and it's comfortable on the last hitch mark. Flexing the leather a bit near the spring pins seemed to help, but length would have made a bid difference in comfort, as I like to wear my jewelry watches over the wrist knuckle (which is more that 7.5 inches around). All in all, this is a bargain of a watch, a diamond in the rough! Build tough with screw-in crown, it's good for 600 feet of H2O. Get one, and you will be part of a cult following this Alpinist movement from the '60s. Love the looks of this watch! Update 05Jul2024 : For some reason this timepiece began losing twenty minutes per day! Started acting up early this year, so I have sidelined it. Will have to open it up and fix it. Update Nov2024 : I sent it in for repair, and turn-around time from Seiko somewhere in New Jersey was about nine (9) days. Not bad. So, now, after a $300+ experience, this Alpinist watch gains about 15 seconds per week. I believe, Seiko simply changed out the movement with another, because it probably isn't economically worth it to troubleshoot the mechanism. I am happy again, however, with the repair, I paid nearly a grand for this one. fwiw

I love the simplicity of this watch and yet so elegant. Yes you have adjust the time and rotate the side pin everyday. But I love it. I was wearing Apple Watch before I was so done with it. This is about the same price. Seller is genuine and watch arrived on time. It’s been now 6 months of my usage I was lazy to write the review. Love the strap and watch highly recommend for mature people loving simple yet classy watch within affordable range. Brightness is great, time retention is reliable! Easy to read!

First, this is NOT a watch for someone with large wrists or hands. It is for the small or average size individual. The leather strap is stiff but is attractive and well made. (Straps can always be replaced.) The watch is very well constructed which is typical of Seiko. It is made of high grade stainless case and sapphire crystal. The dark green dial with gold hands and markers is elegant. The magnified date window is terrific as you can actually read the date! Have not monitored yet for accuracy but given it's a Seiko, it is reasonably accurate for its intended use. The seller experience was excellent and timely. Price is very affordable for such a quality product. Good watch to start or add to a collection. Seiko gets better and better in the products they produce.

Excellent quality. Size seems a bit small. I have 6 ft tall and that fits on my wrist at the last notch. Would like to see a larger size on the dial as well. Like oh, I don't know 55 or 60 mm perhaps. Other than that it's very nice. Product quality is excellent. Runs for about 3 days if you don't wear it or wind it.

This is a beautiful watch. It's 10 sd fast and I can live with that. It wears really well.

I’m so happy about this watch looks so sharp and elegant dress watchThank you for fast response and shipping I so lucky have this watch

Great watch but unfortunately too big for my wrist. Premium Japan, the seller, sent it even before the expected day. I sadly returned it through FedEx with paid return by the seller. Surprise! The watch was not in the box when it arrived in Japan, replaced by magazines. Added to it, FedEx charges you export taxes! Even is it is a return!Conclusion: I'll never buy something in Amazon unless the merchandize is sold by them, if it comes from abroad, and particularly if FexEx is the courier.

Great watch for the price. The band is really nice but takes some getting used to. Smaller than others but i knew that going in. The dimensions are clearly listed so not a big deal. Just don't care to wear my high end watches.. Draws to much unwanted attention. I enjoy these very attractive / quality automatics from Seiko and other SUB 1K options. Just don't see how you can go wrong with a watch of this quality and price
