In early 2018, Seiko announced that several lines were being discontinued, including the SARB017 Alpinist and the SARB065 Cocktail Time . However, you can still find the Alpinist for sale via numerous grey market sellers, including Amazon.

Prices have fluctuated somewhat since the announcement, but the Alpinist is typically still found at an affordable price.

If you’re looking for something that is unique and offers great value, the Alpinist is hard to beat.

If you can find one for under $450, you’re getting a great price. Given their relative scarcity, the Alpinist may also become one of the only watches in this price range that actually appreciates over time.
