For sale is my Seiko Prospex Ginza SPB259. This was a limited run of 3500 pieces for Seiko’s 140th anniversary. Timestamp: [https://photos.smugmug.com/Watches/n-MnHXvb/Seiko-Ginza-Alpinist/i-xRnv5wH/0/CDG9TvWRmXh3JS5kmRTfccGhNQ326L5Nbsw3H338w/O/IMG\_7060.jpg](https://photos.smugmug.com/Watches/n-MnHXvb/Seiko-Ginza-Alpinist/i-xRnv5wH/0/CDG9TvWRmXh3JS5kmRTfccGhNQ326L5Nbsw3H338w/O/IMG_7060.jpg) I have owned this watch since Feb 2022, and it has seen very little wrist time since I bought it. I have maybe worn it two or three times total, for special occasions. This watch really doesn’t need much introduction. Full specs here: [https://www.seikowatches.com/global-en/products/prospex/spb259j1](https://www.seikowatches.com/global-en/products/prospex/spb259j1) There are no issues with the watch and it keeps time well within spec in my experience. The case and bracelet show light scratches from regular use. I did my best to highlight these in the photos. The photos are considered part of the description so please take a close look. The front and back crystals are both clean. Please let me know if you have any questions, happy to answer! I'm in the Minneapolis area so we could meet up in person if you're nearby. Asking $1500 (including insured shipping in CONUS). Not looking to trade. Zelle or PayPal F&F.

	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.
