Alpinist and others on sale at Chino

How did I miss this Seiko? 6r15 movement, 200m wr, 40mm.

Prices on the Spirit line are crazy low - like as low as $318 (3 years ago when the Yen was doing poorly they were $268!).

Ì`m really digging that one. Been close to pulling the trigger on the PVD`d version quite a few times

Hmm..this Seiko looks different ! A cool bezel on this one, and
that second hand is unique too. Thanks for showing this one Doc,
I wasn't familiar with the line !..NICE strap as well !

Tom,

It also has the 6r15 movement in it that is 23 jewels, 50 hr power reserve, hacking and handwinding. Looks to be the 0020 case that's used on the 007/009 models (Noah can correct me if I am wrong).

Wonder what the lume is like on this one?

Talk about impressive !!! This watch has some super hero watch type specs !
Oh and a 50 hr power reserve sounds like more than enough ! I'm sure the lume
is also kicked up a notch or two..and THAT is bright !..Great info once again Doc,
REALLY great !..Thank You !

Great looking watch! I really like the look of that model.

Who, what or where is Chino?

Sorry Dan. Chino is the 3rd Japan Only exporter among the WIS.

Good reputation among Seiko fanatics in the US and EU.

Never saw an Alpinist w/crown at the 4.

They've come out with several new lines within the Alpinist range over the past 6-8 months.
