Introduced in 1961, the Alpinist line has been Seiko's product for upscale outdoorsmen. Designed for the 'Yamatoko' or 'mountain man,' these are watches for those who hike and climb mountains. Over the years, Seiko has introduced both mechanical and quartz versions, many with compass bezels and usually waterproof to an unusual 200m (660ft). Via, news now that they've been redesigned (as per the PR still on the right), with three new models set to drop in late July for the Japanes domestic market. The case shape has changed considerably, and the crown is now at the 4 o'clock position, and from these pictures it appears that they're using a variant of the classic SKX-series divers' watch case.
