The Prospex logo not only makes a tough statement, that this would be a professional watch from Seiko, but is also new for the Alpinist series. The SPB121 is equipped with an inner rotatable compass ring which can be turned using the crown positioned at the 4 o’clock position. The hands are golden with the classical Alpinist minute, hour, and seconds hand. LumiBrite is richly applied to the hands and because of this, it is really easy to tell the time in the dark. The white LumiBrite hands are a great contrast from the green sunburst dial which makes it easy to tell the time. The case is in stainless steel and measures 39.5MM and really is a great size for all wrists. The lug-to-lug size is 46.4MM, and with the original leather strap that comes with the watch, it both be used as a dress watch but also a professional tool-watch. The case does require the user to remove the spring bars from the inside, which might take some practice but is a rather simple task. Once you get this going it is really simple to change the strap of the watch to a more fitting strap depending on what you are about to attend. For a more formal dinner, the original leather strap is a good alternative, while a nato strap might give you a more relaxed or sporty look. It is water-resistant to 200M meaning that you are able to swim and dive with your watch without having to worry about the watch not being able to handle the static pressure. It is a screw case back with an open window making it possible to view the movement inside. The new SPB121 is upgraded with a sapphire Chrystal which is AR-coated on the inside which prevents the AR to fall off after some time of usage, it is also the first Alpinist with a date magnifier which makes it easier to tell which date it is. The bracelet that comes with the Seiko Alpinist SPB121 is a calfskin band with a pressed print making it look like some type of reptile.
