The Seiko Prospex HBC006J1 Alpinist is a 145th Anniversary Limited Edition tribute to one of Seiko's most storied watches — the 1959 Laurel Alpinist, the first Japanese watch designed for mountaineering. This anniversary edition is dressed in Edo Murasaki (Edo Purple) — a colour rooted in the cultural heritage of old Edo (Tokyo) — giving the rugged Alpinist an unexpected elegance. Limited to just 7,000 pieces worldwide, it is powered by the in-house Caliber 6R55 automatic with a 72-hour power reserve, protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and features the iconic inner compass bezel and a see-through caseback.
