Seiko Prospex s The 1959 Alpinist Re-creation and The 1959 Alpinist Modern Re-interpretations look back to classic issues
published : 14 May 2021 at 04:00 Seiko Prospex The 1959 Alpinist Re-creation compared to the original Seiko Laurel Alpinist.
Tracing Seiko s history, Takumi Kishino was struck by a timepiece created in 1959 for mountain climbers and recreational field sports enthusiasts. The simple yet strong character of the Seiko Laurel Alpinist caught my attention, Kishino said of the company s very first sports watch.
He joined Seiko in 2006 and has designed many models, particularly with young customers in mind.
His focus is now on Prospex watches geared to sports and outdoor activities. The brand name comes from professional and specification, and the designs aim for functionality and performance.
