Seiko Alpinst SARB17<\/h2>\n
The Green Seiko Alpinist<\/p>\n Just an amazing looking watch in my opinion. Looks much more expensive than the $500 asking price. It has the 6R15 movement. The 6R15 is a cousin of the bullet proof 7S26, but it can be hand wound and it hacks. The power reserve is rated at 50 hours vs. 40 the 7s26. Though, it is probably better than that. My 7S26\u2032s usually get about 44 hours. This model comes on a dark, leather strap. It also has a compass feature like the Land Shark, but much less obtrusive. A 200m water resistance rating is nothing to sneeze at either. Dress looks with diver\u2019s type water resistance.<\/p>\n This is my grail watch. Someday I will have this pretty.<\/p>\n It also comes in Black and White, but none are as stunning as the emerald green.<\/p>\n The Marathon Search and Rescue Automatic.\u00a0 Probably the most hard core tool watch ever made.\u00a0 Designed for the US and Canadian military.\u00a0 Meets military specifications for divers and weapons fire.\u00a0 Plus, it looks bad ass.\u00a0 The US versions are hard to come by, since they are built in lots for the military.\u00a0 This is the Canadian version, which is legal to own and order.\u00a0 Inside beats a Swiss Made 2824 automatic movement.\u00a0 It is 300M\/1000Ft water resistant with Tritium tubes for luminous material.\u00a0 The case is a reasonable 41.1mm, so not giant, and actually smaller than several of my watches. It should glow for at least 10 years with no exposure to light.\u00a0 Gotta love the radioactive symbol on the dial.\u00a0 It isn’t decorative, it is to warn operators to dispose of it properly as nuclear waste.\u00a0 About $650.<\/p>\n The poor man’s version of a Marathon SAR. Quartz, but very tough, with a stainless steel case. About the same size at 42mm and has Tritium tube markers.\u00a0 200M water resistance means it makes a great camping and outdoors watch. \u00a0 Nice, rugged look, and only costs $80 on amazon.\u00a0 Glow guaranteed for 25 years.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/a> This is the Seiko 6138-8020 Chronograph.\u00a0 Possibly the best chronograph movement from the 1970’s.\u00a0 In several ways, the 6138 is a better movement than the Valjoux 7750.\u00a0 It is a true column wheel, vertical clutch movement.\u00a0 What the heck does that mean?\u00a0 The chronograph is fully integrated into the movement, not an add on module, like most movements.\u00a0 The 6138 is also Day and Date, and has a bidirectional winding system, that all Seiko’s have and the 7750 lacks. \u00a0 It is also a very handsome watch, with a 40mm stainless case and super easy to read hands and layout. \u00a0 About $200 to $300 on eBay.<\/p>\n Riki Watanabe is one of the most famous industrial designers in Japan.\u00a0 He worked with Seiko\/ALBA (yet another division of Seiko) to create this watch:\u00a0 It\u2019s the Riki AAAA101.\u00a0\u00a0 The lines are so simple, yet elegant.\u00a0 It is also powered by Seiko\u2019s 7S26m which really makes it a very fancy Seiko 5.\u00a0 Modern, but not too big 37.5mm across.\u00a0 It is modeled after Riki\u2019s industrial clock designs, with rectangular hands and easy to see across a room markers.\u00a0 It also comes in black and a rose gold face.\u00a0 About $200<\/a>.<\/p>\n You would think that with over 20 watches in my collection, I would have almost every type of watch out there.\u00a0 In order of wanting, this is what remains on my wish list: Seiko Alpinst SARB17 The Green Seiko Alpinist Just an amazing looking watch in my opinion.
