The movement powering these is the upgraded 6R35 caliber, which has 70 hours of power reserve and beats at 21,600 vibrations per hour. While it’s only color matched precisely with the black dialed Alpinist, this is a much better option than a white background, and with the gradient effect having a darker ring on the outside of the dial, having the same date wheel across all variants works better here than it would in many other lines. Another critical detail is the date display having a black background on each model. These watches also all have gilt accents on the numerals, which is a great throwback to a vintage style and just works really well here. Variants include blue, green, and black dial options, each with a pleasing gradient effect. Crown guards have also been eliminated on these smaller models, though the crown still screws down, and water resistance is a full 200 meters. This is likely to be a point of some contention among enthusiasts, but I quite like the clean look of the new smaller Alpinists, and unless you have a real need for a compass, this feels like a case of addition by subtraction if there ever was one. The new, smaller Alpinists (carrying reference numbers SPB155, SPB157, and SPB159) lose the cyclops and the rotating compass bezel, a hallmark of the line for years. Lug to lug is a modest 46.4mm, so they have a compact feel. These watches measure 38mm in diameter with a case height of 12.9mm.

Plus, its a Seiko classic and this version is Made in Japan with a 6R35 movement.
