This is the legendary red alpinist 37mm x 11mm thick x 43mm smaller than the modern alpinist it has the 4S15 movement which has just been freshly serviced. \*Please note that these movements are known to have stiff date change mechanism but it's absolutely normal\* Running about plus 4 seconds a day on my wrist This watch is from 1998 and is 24 years old. I was told it has replaced gaskets and it did pass a 30m water pressure test and should be able to do deeper. However, I would not risk it on a vintage watch Watch located in Canada Price: $900 USD PPGS +4% Shipped.

	Established:	1881

	Country of Origin:	Japan

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
