An Alpinist in Rajasthan

The Seiko Alpinist in green (SARB017) is a quirky watch. With a deep green dial and gold numerals, it can come off dressy, even though it was designed for mountaineering (hence the name). I recently took mine to a tour of Rajasthan, India, where it served...

A less known Seiko, but...

...a really nice one indeed 👍🏻 I didn‘t know this model.

This is legendary as with the SARB 033

Discontinued Japan-only models with a cult following.

Nice Seiko - green and gold dial works really well

Very versatile watch. Doesn't look like a diver, but has 200m water resistance. Cheers JML

Beautifully made watch

I felt like you were reliving the classic movie "The Man Who Would be King" with Sean Connery and Michael Caine. Coming back down to earth, I had an Alpinist once, back a decade or so ago. This photo is dated 2005. I can't remember what happened to it ......  

Thanks erict, jml_watches, watchlover78, and cazalea!

Wow, the movie sounds like an interesting one... one which I've never watched! Will check it out, tks! (and nice Alpnist, Cazalea!)

Was written by Rudyard Kipling; the movie was directed by John Huston and won an Academy Award. Peachy & Daniel vow to forego womanizing They meet a woman - Daniel wants to marry her (who wouldn’t) Later (in real life) Michael Caine does marry her. Great ...  

Lovely and solid alpinist

This never came with a bracelet.

Is it the SARB033 bracelet?
