Seiko Alpinist: The Best Japanese Rolex Explorer? SPB123 Watch Review

Today we revisit a true Gentry classic - the beloved and highly important Seiko Alpinist. But this is no ordinary Alpinist! This is the latest generation with some surprising new upgrades. As this is such a cult watch amongst the Gentry audience and the wider Seiko loving watch community, it was only right for me to go old school with a traditional in-depth, desktop, hands-on review.

Join me to find out what is so special about this latest incarnation, including its history, improvements, and negatives. Is it worth the new hike in price? Why is it such an important watch to Seiko and to fans of the Alpinist line? Why has it earned the nickname "Japanese Rolex Explorer"? Is it still the best automatic field watch under $500? Find out answers to all that and more as we take a look at the legendary SBDC093.
