Why Every Collection Deserves A Seiko Alpinist (Rare Models Included)

Designer Notes Subject 69
In the category of field watches, its all too common to see robust and tool watch finished design. This is intentional since many outdoor activities are demanding and some are downright hazardous to your watch. This is what sets the Seiko Alpinist apart from the rest of the field, all puns intended. Here’s all the reasons why your collection should have one.

Damn it Jim! I’m a watch not a compass.

[@DesignAtelier]

Bones is always golden.

[@joeyb7576]

This was outstanding. I had no idea the Alpinist had such rich history. Great job, Jayson.

[@AlfredoRGuillen]

The best Alpinist review I've seen so far. Lot's of research and great production. Congratulations!

[@DesignAtelier]

Thanks! Only thing missing is actually reviewing one on hand.

[@blueshirtbuddah1665]

Great review of a classic watch. Well done as always Jayson.

[@keys-bw9bc]

Another great video, the SARB017 is one of my favorite watches.

[@michaltomasek2237]

Great job! I raelly enjoy your videos! Keep it up!

[@Dadication3]

Thanks J for the great videos. Love my 017, 033, and 035.

[@timetowatch_francois]

Always love your reviews and the nice cinematic look-n-feel of your images. I stumbled on your review of this Alpinist and it's now on my "hit list". Thanks for sharing.

[@DesignAtelier]

im happy to fuel that watch addiction. haha!

[@timetowatch_francois]

@@DesignAtelier 😂👍🏻

[@WrongTimeWatch]

I have never owned nor handled an Alpinist. Looks like I need to fix that. Amazing video by the way. I could learn a lot from you.

[@dhirajshetty483]

Brilliant & Informative Review ! Your work is very underrated …. ! I’m a big fan 😊

[@tamimi8085]

Great content , professional review

[@bodegaboylex]

Great video. Thank you

[@alicansunal3487]

I got Sunbeam Alpinist. Great dress/sporty watch.

[@DesignAtelier]

I’m jelly, man! I’ll have an alpine at one day

[@grapevinelover1]

Garmin Fenix 6 or 7 is the watch to bring while rescuing Megan. Great review on a great piece for sure…thanks for sharing.

[@DesignAtelier]

Fun fact. I never heard of Megan again.

[@WardStroud]

Most watches that have cyclops…look like a cyclops, this watch has a dewdrop. I’ve actually had people ask me if I had a drop of rain on my watch! it’s elegant. It’s perfect and I love it.

[@DesignAtelier]

Good catch! Yes I agree!

[@user-yc1wi9de3t]

nkuwan is best watch factory!!!

[@dmantziaras]

Great video... thanks a lot. I would like to see a review of the GRAND SEIKO SBGM221, please....

[@kadehyde3817]

Great video 👍

[@NexDim.]

Great video

[@watchsixto]

I missed out on getting one before the price has increased, so now if I want one, I'll have to pay a pretty penny. Seiko has a lot of great options

[@DesignAtelier]

Seiko did us dirty with this one. The moment they saw that we are starting to appreciate the alpinist, they jacked the price.

[@jagdishpithadiya467]

I have Alpinist .... Green...... With Compass........I like So much....My Favourite.... Watch...👌👌👌 Like DONE...

[@edwards4409]

Currently own the "Phantom" and "Champagne" alpinist and let me tell you hiw beautiful those dials are

[@DesignAtelier]

Seiko dials are always gold! Even when they’re not gold. If you know what I mean.

[@saleendriver]

I owned one of the SARB017s. Nice watch, lousy standard strap. I put a Strapcode bracelet on it, and wore it a bit. But I never did bond with it, and ultimately sold it for more than I paid. Nice watch, but not for me. Great video as always my friend.

[@DesignAtelier]

i think its a given at this point that seiko straps and bracelets are just low quality. nice that you sold it for profit. I may need to get one before its too late.

[@mikebingham9700]

I understand you're a casio watch kind of guy!

[@taotzu1339]

Kicking myself for not getting it when it was $350 on Amazon several years back. $700 is now too steep a price increase.

[@phatstar6344]

5:46 Anyway know the model number of the blue Alpinist? Thanks!

[@morgan.enfield]

SPB 089

[@jh-il5sb]

i would take whatever means possible to find megan

[@Bob.martens]

I've got three.

[@DesignAtelier]

Show off. 😂

[@peterc3700]

I’m trying to think of something pithy to say without getting into trouble.......Nope can’t do it😊. Seriously, good overall review of a neat watch. I always liked it but not enough to buy it. Not sure why? Thanks again Jayson!

[@DesignAtelier]

To me it's really about having a solid watch that can be for outdoor wear without being too toolish looking. And im always a sucker for inner bezels.

[@Star_Sn1per]

Dude "Hey checkout my Seiko Alpinst" Hot Babe "Seiko???" Dude "Yea it's a discontinued model" Hot Babe " It's not even a Rolex.."

[@DesignAtelier]

very true

[@manuelmaggioli9077]

From 1959/1960, the first seiko Laurel Alpinist.

[@rosewoodsteel6656]

Forget about the watch, I want the girl!

[@boejiden]

I would bring a garmin fenix 7 lmao

[@andresrivadeneira7494]

39.5 mm diameter. Too small for my wrist..

[@DesignAtelier]

well i dont know how big your wrist is but yes 0.5mm is sometimes pushing it too far.

[@kevinangulo8965]

I'm sorry, I had to stop watching after the corny "babe" spiel

[@CompassIIDX]

Stay cucked.
