Seiko's green Alpinist GMT (HBC007) is now available outside Japan, after the sunray green dial was first reserved for the Japanese market. The piece places the new GMT beside the three-hand Alpinist Mechanical (SPB507), comparing dial layout, case thickness, movement and strap choices. It also traces the collection's roots from the 1959 Laurel Alpinist through the 1995 compass model.

In Partnership - Dialed In: Seiko's Green Alpinist GMT Goes Global

Sponsored

Seiko's green Alpinist GMT (HBC007) arrives in a global release after first being reserved for Japan. The watch pairs the sunray green dial with a 24-hour GMT hand and the Caliber 6R54 automatic movement. Compared with the three-hand Alpinist Mechanical (SPB507), the GMT has bold Arabic numerals, no date cyclops and a 13.6mm thickness against 12.7mm. Both references share a 39.5mm case, 46.4mm lug-to-lug, 20-bar water resistance and a 72-hour power reserve. The partner content presents the release as a bridge between the Alpinist's mountaineering heritage and modern travel.
