About The Product
Introducing the SPB117: The Mountaineer’s Best Friend
The Illustrious Origin of SPB117
Drenched in history, the Seiko SPB117, often affectionately known as the Alpinist, is an homage to Japan’s yama-otoko or “mountain men.” It’s a celebration of perseverance, an emblem of rugged reliability, and it’s also rather dashing, wouldn’t you agree? Not many can boast a lineage stretching back to 1959, but then, not many are the SPB117.
Character & Craftsmanship
The Alpinist doesn’t merely tell time, it tells a story. Forged with an unyielding stainless-steel case of 39.5mm, it’s a testament to Seiko’s mastery of watchmaking and an invitation to relish every tick. Its aesthetic is a fusion of utilitarianism and sophistication, a perfect accompaniment for those accustomed to the crisp city streets or the challenging mountain terrains.
Compelling Calibre
Peek beneath the surface, and you?l find the beating heart of the SPB117, the Calibre 6R35. A testament to precision engineering, this movement offers an impressive 70 hour power reserve. So whether you’re scaling peaks or juggling meetings, the Alpinist keeps up with you, never missing a beat.
Face Value
On the dial, an enchanting shade of black is broken by an inner rotating compass bezel, luminescent markers, and date window at 3 o’clock a trifecta of functionality and style. The sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating ensures that not even the harshest sunbeam can distract from the Alpinist’s radiant personality.
Savvy Band
The SPB117 isn? just a pretty face. The stainless-steel bracelet speaks volumes about its wearer – someone who values strength and elegance, someone who feels as much at home in the wilderness as they do at an upscale soiree.
Tick-Tock in the Deep
Fancy a quick dip? Perhaps a full-fledged diving expedition? Well, the Alpinist doesn’t mind getting its feet wet. With a water-resistance of up to 200 meters, it’s ready to plunge into adventure whenever you are.

We’re not in the business of dictating choices, but should you wish to elevate your wrist game, the Seiko SPB117 stands ready.
