The Alpinist was inspired by the Japanese concept of “yama-otoko,” or “mountain man.” The Japanese countryside is mountainous, and amateur mountain climbing was a popular hobby. These watches were ostensibly marketed toward these adventurers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat really makes this watch stand out from the pack is the dial. The Alpinist collection went through several different dial designs, but this model in particular is quite stunning and unique with its two-tone sector design.

A tightly refined version of it’s two predecessors, it has a polished and finished aesthetic that’s doubtful could be improved upon. A 38mm masterpiece with stout, tapered lugs, an oversized but well integrated crown, and a striking dial full of color, texture, and finish. This example from August of ‘69 is phenomenal. The dial is perfect in a silver linen with a lacquered finish and applied markers. At its border is a segmented 24 hour track in black for night, and baby blue for day. Framing it is the “cities of the world” inner bezel which can be rotated via the crown to determine the time anywhere in the world instantly. The colors are bright and vivid, and there is no peeling or fading from exposure. The hands are a polished sword style along with a bright red 24 hour hand. The 6117A is a workhorse calibre that’s solidly built, and post service, this one is keeping near perfect time. This particular model was only produced for about one year beginning in 1968 through part of ‘69, and as such is in fairly short supply and can be difficult to track down. Well worth the effort in our opinion, as it’s stunning on the wrist and a great piece of Seiko history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-small\"\u003eMODEL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time 3rd Model\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREFERENCE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6117-6010\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYEAR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1969\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSERIAL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e987800\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCASE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e38mm (excl. crown), Stainless Steel\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMOVEMENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic, Cal.6117A\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLUG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e19mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINCLUDES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatch with original Seiko bracelet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-fb760889c3d3a2658c7e\" data-block-type=\"47\" class=\"sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-c4e3f24cb0d73d6b8e5c\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-small\"\u003eOVERALL \u003cstrong\u003eA Rank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCASE \u003cstrong\u003eGreat Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCRYSTAL \u003cstrong\u003eGreat Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDIAL \u003cstrong\u003eGreat Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHANDS \u003cstrong\u003eLittle Patina\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMOVEMENT \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGreat Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eACCURACY \u003cstrong\u003e3 Sec. \/ Day (12 Hr.

Well worth the effort in our opinion, as it’s stunning on the wrist and a great piece of Seiko history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe original Seiko bracelet will fit wrists up to around 19 cm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-small\"\u003eMODEL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Time 3rd Model\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREFERENCE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6117-6010\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYEAR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1972\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSERIAL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e232180\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCASE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e38mm (excl. crown), Stainless Steel\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMOVEMENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic, Cal.6117B\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLUG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e19mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINCLUDES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatch with original Seiko bracelet (fit wrists up to around 19 cm) and Seiko box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule\" data-block-type=\"47\" id=\"block-00839fac561504721c46\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-c515722eb0e31d2fa66a\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-small\"\u003eOVERALL \u003cstrong\u003eA Rank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCASE \u003cstrong\u003eGreat Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCRYSTAL \u003cstrong\u003eGreat Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDIAL \u003cstrong\u003eGreat Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHANDS \u003cstrong\u003eGreat Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMOVEMENT \u003cstrong\u003eRunning normally\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eACCURACY \u003cstrong\u003e50 Sec. \/ Day (12 Hr.

The Alpinist was inspired by the Japanese concept of “yama-otoko,” or “mountain man.” The Japanese countryside is mountainous, and amateur mountain climbing was a popular hobby. These watches were ostensibly marketed toward these adventurers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat really makes this watch stand out from the pack is the dial. The Alpinist collection went through several different dial designs, but this model in particular is quite stunning and unique with its two-tone sector design. It is champagne\/silver toned with a brown outer ring and a radial brushed finish. There are thin, printed radial lines coming from the center of the dial to each of the small, lumed  hour dots. The brown outer ring is broken by a series of small rectangles, champagne silver in color, at each of the hour markers. The only exception is at twelve, where there’s a large triangle. The base end of the triangle is champagne, while the pointed end is brown and extends toward the center section of the dial. The dial is signed “Seiko Champion” in script below the twelve, and “Diashock 17J” in blocky, italicized letters just below that. Above the six, it is signed “Alpinist” in the distinctive logo font, and “Water Proof” below that in yet another typeface. The hour and minute hands are a dauphine style with large lume-filled centers. The second hand is unique in that it has a half-moon shaped tip that tracks through the brown outer ring for contrast and easy viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-small\"\u003eMODEL \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChampion Alpinist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eREFERENCE\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJ13079\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYEAR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1963\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSERIAL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3532795\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCASE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e35.5mm (excl. crown), Stainless Steel\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMOVEMENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLUG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e18mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOMES WITH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatch with new strap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-ed6823099d3469f6a34e\" data-block-type=\"47\" class=\"sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-86e67953f1c7d24bc17f\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-small\"\u003eOVERALL \u003cstrong\u003eA Rank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCASE \u003cstrong\u003eSmall Scratches, bezel crack at 3 o’clock\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCRYSTAL \u003cstrong\u003eGreat Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDIAL \u003cstrong\u003eLittle Patina\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHANDS \u003cstrong\u003e Little Patina\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMOVEMENT \u003cstrong\u003eServiced in end of 2021 \/ Great Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eACCURACY \u003cstrong\u003e15 Sec. \/ day (12 Hr.

It is rare to find a Seiko from that era in such condition, considering the humid climate of Japan (where air conditioning was not common until the 1970s).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStory\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Seiko Champion arrived from Daini Seikosha (famous for its King Seiko line) in the early 1960s. It served as Seiko's entry range, and in its first years offered elegant, classically styled models with thin, refined cases. From around 1963 the line took a sportier turn, gaining water resistance and a broader choice of dials, before narrowing to the Calendar model alone from 1964 and running until about 1966.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule\" id=\"block-dc8f2b7e4db5fdbaca4a\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" id=\"block-af1dc9b23e26d7c627fc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMODEL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChampion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYEAR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1961\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSERIAL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eN110186\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCASE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e36mm (excl. crown), Stainless Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMOVEMENT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual Winding, SEIKOSHA 17 Jewels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLUG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e19mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eINCLUDES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatch with new faux leather strap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule\" id=\"block-ec7ab7cc90f8bb70c7d8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" id=\"block-5ab5a2c3875101f65979\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqsrte-small\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOVERALL \u003cstrong\u003eA Rank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCASE \u003cstrong\u003eSome Scratches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCRYSTAL \u003cstrong\u003eSmall Scratches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDIAL \u003cstrong\u003eGreat Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHANDS \u0026amp; INDICES \u003cstrong\u003eLittle Patina\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMOVEMENT \u003cstrong\u003eGreat Condition, checked and oiled\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eACCURACY \u003cstrong\u003eAround 7 Sec. \/ day (12 Hr.
