Hi all! Selling my Seiko Mystic Forest Alpinist, SPB289. This comes as a full kit with box and papers. I’ve also included 3 brand new, unworn straps. 2 perlon and 1 saffiano leather. The dial on this one is stunning. There is a slight texture that plays well with the sunlight, shifting from blue to green. The crystal is immaculate. The case and bracelet have minor superficial wear (e.g. desk diving marks). I’m asking a negotiable $750 shipped to CONUS. Please PM if you have questions or would like to see additional pictures. Open to trades for a Doxa or Oris, with cash if needed.

	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.
