For sale: Seiko SARB017 Alpinist. I purchased this watch new in Tokyo in 2018 right after they were discontinued--it was the last one in stock. It is in very good condition overall, but it was in my regular rotation for a few years and shows normal wear throughout the case. Comes with the aftermarket jubilee-style bracelet, the original padded leather strap, instruction manual in Japanese, and worldwide guarantee and signed warranty card. The leather strap has been tried on but never actually worn--I immediately swapped it out for an aftermarket leather strap and later for the jubilee.

Payment by Zelle or wire for zero or low-transaction accounts, or Paypal F&F (or G&S +3%) for well established buyers. Thanks for looking.

	Established:	1881
	Website:	http://seikousa.com/index.php
	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.
