Nighttime-inspired Seiko watch boasts a stunning new design
The Seiko Prospex Alpinist Night Sky, a limited edition timepiece, is now available for pre-order. With only 3,000 pieces up for grabs, this watch is a must-have for any watch enthusiast.
This watch is a part of Seiko's Alpinist Collection, which was first introduced in 1959. This collection was designed for Japanese 'Yama-otoko', or mountain men, who required reliable and rugged timepieces for their outdoor activities. The Alpinist Collection combines tool watch practicality with distinct personality, as seen in the cathedral hands, triangular hour markers, and sometimes quirky details such as a cyclops date window.
The Seiko Prospex Alpinist Night Sky is no exception. It features a dark blue dial with a subtle vertical striped pattern, reminiscent of the night sky over a mountainous landscape. The dial is adorned with dark grey numerals, cathedral-style hour and minute hands, and a gold-coloured second hand, ensuring easy readability even in low light conditions.
The watch comes with two straps: one leather and one blue canvas with white stitching and a stainless steel buckle. This versatility allows the watch to complement various styles, from casual to formal. The Seiko Prospex Alpinist Night Sky is expected to look great under chic knitwear, making it an ideal choice for winter days.
Underneath the watch's exhibition case back, viewers can see Seiko's in-house 6R35 calibre automatic mechanical movement. The watch is accurate to -15/+25 seconds per day and has a power reserve of up to 70 hours. The date window is magnified for easy reading.
The Seiko Prospex Alpinist Night Sky is limited to 3,000 pieces and is only available in Europe. It is priced at £780. This limited edition watch is a testament to Seiko's commitment to crafting timepieces that blend functionality, heritage, and style.
