Seiko Alpinist SARB017

The Seiko Alpinist SARB017 is an automatic timepiece from Seiko featuring a dark green dial with gold-plated accents and a sunburst texture. The Seiko Alpinist watch was originally designed in the late 1950s for Japanese mountain climbers, and this model, the SARB017, retains its core attributes of reliability and simplicity while giving it a facelift with stylish elements and functional features. On the green tonal dial, a nod to nature and the forest, you’ll notice gold hour markers that alternate between even numerals and elegant triangle shapes. There is a date window at 3 o’clock and prominent cathedral hands that add elegance to this accessory. The standout feature of this watch has to be the unique functionality of the rotating azimuthal bezel operated by the crown at 4 o'clock. When combined with the hour hand, the wearer can discern true north. The Seiko Alpinist SARB017 debuted at a retail price of $549.
