It really should but not that I know of. I think our best bet for getting something like that made might be a Snyper module. 8-)

New Seiko Alpinists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am hyped despite the huge price jump

Edit: estimated price is $700 USD. So a LOT for an Alpinist. But honestly I'll take the hit and buy one I think

Saw this from someone on Facebook, but seiya Japan posted this:

Hope this doesn't become a feared "Limited Edition" and take it beyond the realm of affordability.
Seiya Japan lists following colorways and model numbers which could possibly change too

SBDC091
Green dial + Brown leather strap -- 75000 Yen

SBDC089
White dial + Black leather strap -- 75000 Yen. Poster going by the nickname Amphibian on an Italian watch forum has a good name for this one. - Albinist :lol: can check it here https://orologi.forumfree.it/?t=76944276

SBDC087
Black dial + SS bracelet -- 77000 Yen
The black dial SBDC087 will have a cyclops and the Prospex X logo on the dial. I'm guessing all three of them will.

Image

It looks like they are taking the design back to the look of the old Red Alpinists minus the weird hour hand.

You beat me to it. Was going to make a separate thread about it because I have leaks of the green and white ones too. Overall I see what direction Seiko was thinking, but man it would look better without the X

Btw the other colors don't have the same dial layouts at least according to the leaks

Man, that hour hand though.

I do love the red Alpinist text.

A separate thread would be cool. Any watches from this thread that garner enough interest could have their own thread.....and I would think the Alpinist would. Even if the first post is just copied and pasted stuff from here. Looking forward to seeing the green and white.

I think the hour hand on the new rendering is the same as the SARB017 and the SPB089. I've only seen that crazy-looking one on vintage Alpinists like the one pictured above.

Why would they put a diver's elapsed time bezel on the Cresta when it's a fixed bezel? Seems pretty useless. They should have made it a Tachymeter bezel like the rest of the lineup.

I don't know, the article didn't say. I noticed that as well and am wondering if that's a production prototype and didn't have the text, or if they're intentionally leaving it off only the black version.

Do it! I googled and couldn't find the leaks.
