Is The New Seiko Alpinist GMT SPB379 The Perfect Alpinist? Owner’s Review

2023 has once again been the year of the GMT with the release of the Longines Spirit Zulu Time in the much anticipated 39mm size, the all new Longines HydroConquest GMT, and my favorite Seiko Marine Master 200 GMT SPB383. I have loved GMT watches for years after owning the likes of the Rolex Explorer II, Tudor Black Bay GMT, Tudor Black Bay Pro, Grand Seiko SBGM221, Zodiac Super Sea Wolf GMT Sherbet, and more.

But from the very beginning right up to now, one of my favorite watches I own is the classic green dial Seiko Alpinist SARB017. I love the case, dial, and overall experience immensely so imagine my excitement when I heard that Seiko released the Alpinist GMT SPB377 and SPB379. I knew I had to get one. And now I have one.

In this video I’m going to get into the details, all the dimensions, how the new Alpinist GMT wears on the wrist, the dial, the case, the movement, and more now that I’ve been wearing the watch for the past few days. (It’s pretty fantastic).
Big thanks to Taylor at Edward Arthur Jewelers for getting me this Alpinist GMT so quickly! Feel free to reach out to him : edwardarthur@comcast.net with "THE WATCH IDIOT" in subject line
