Introducing a watch unlike any other – the highly anticipated Prospex Alpinist Australasian Limited Edition SPB489J. With only limited pieces available, this exclusive release celebrates Seiko’s rich legacy while capturing the untamed beauty of Australia’s iconic red deserts.

This striking timepiece features a vivid red dial, inspired by the warm, earthy hues of the Outback at sunrise and sunset, exuding a bold, adventurous spirit. Paired with a premium brown leather strap, the design reflects both the ruggedness and refinement that have made the Alpinist series a favorite among explorers and watch aficionados alike.

Seiko Prospex ALPINIST Limited Edition Mens 200m WR Watch SPB489J. This timepiece is from the Alpinist collection, first launched in 1959 exclusively for the Japanese market. Designed for Japanese ‘Yama-otoko’ mountain men, to be reliable in treacherous terrain, these are part of the Land collection.

Hugely popular with many fans worldwide, these new designs are now available globally with an upgraded specification from their original inspiration – a longer power reserve of 70 hours and a glass upgrade to Sapphire glass.

The Alpinist Limited Edition SPB489J features a Stainless Steel case with a diameter of 39.5mm and thickness of 13.2mm. The lug-to-lug size is 46.4mm and it has a lug width is 20mm. The SPB489J features the Seiko hacking (stop seconds hand function) calibre 6R35 movement with automatic and manual winding functionality, a daily time tolerance of +25 / -15 seconds per day and a 70 hour power reserve. 

The watch is rated as 200m / 20 bar WR and features lumibrite on the hands and markers, sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective coating on the inner surface, a date display with a magnifier on the glass and an exhibition case back .

This watch features a brown leather strap and a stainless steel case with a Red dial with a screw case back, a screw lock crown and a exhibition see through case back. All Alpinist models feature a rotating compass inner ring.

What we love: The classic look of the watch combined with the fit and the lugs, hands, crown and the 39.5mm case diameter. Plus, its a Seiko classic and this version is Made in Japan with a 6R35 movement. The Australian Edition model is already a sell out model!
