Why I think this watch is interesting:
10 Years Battery Life, Perpetual Calendar, GMT, Titanium case and bracelet. The famous "Alpinist" from SEIKO was most likely issued as a testimony to the great achievements of Japanese climbers in the Alps. At least this is my assumption. I remember when living in Switzerland, news papers reported about Japanese rock climbers using high-tech tools (drills, rope ladders etc.) to challenge the highest peaks in the Alps and changing the sport of climbing introducing light materials and newest technology.
The Alpinist features also a very easy to read second hand with luminous dot at the opposite end. The inner bezel is turning via the second crown and shows Compass markings! The face is luminous and will continue to glow for ca. one hour after having been exposed to daylight. And after dark, SEIKO's Lumibrite (SEIKO's Super Luminova is called Lumibrite) will make it easy for you to read the watch in complete darkness. With this watch you will be ready for your outdoor and traveling adventures. Forget about setting the date until 2100. Easy setting of the additional second time zone during travels make sure, you can start hiking immediately!

At the time of writing, the 8Fxx movements oscillating at 196 kHz are the most accurate SEIKO Quartz movements in production. Please note that SEIKO says that you will have to wear the watch (temperature consistency) for 12 hours daily in order to achieve the +/- 20 sec annual gain/loss
