The green Alpinist successfully captures the SCVF spirit, while modernising the design - it was always going to be a hit, and the 12+ year production run speaks volumes about its enduring appeal. In contrast, the SARB013 was only produced for less than two years. What crime it committed to be excluded from the SARB017’s extended production is anyone’s guess. Seiko’s puzzling decision has earned the SARB013 the nickname “Unicorn Alpinist” among collectors, thanks to its incredible rarity and colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Design.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ivory is a versatile colour, but the SARB013’s appeal goes beyond that. The Cathedral hands, iconic to the Alpinist series, are sometimes criticised for being too visually dominant. While I don’t share this view, it’s a sentiment often expressed within the Seiko community. However, the SARB013 addresses this critique with its dial-matched lume, softening the impact of the Cathedral hands and creating an almost skeletonised aesthetic. Among the many Alpinists produced, the SARB013 stands out as the most balanced and refined of them all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Collection. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Alpinist series started in the 1960s with the release of the Seiko “Laurel” Alpinist. Originally designed to be used as an outdoor watch by Japanese skiing enthusiasts, it is perhaps more well known to modern collectors as the series that contains the SARB017. All Alpinists are released as part of Seiko’s “Prospex” (professional specifications) line, as they are built to be rugged and regularly worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Bracelet.\u003c\/strong\u003e The original bracelet, able to accommodate up to a 7.4 inch wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"_12FoOEddL7j_RgMQN0SNeU\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: In very good condition overall.
