Model: SCVF009

Year: February 1995

Features:

4S15 movement. Released in 1995, the SCVF009 Green "Red" Alpinist uses Seiko’s famous 4S15 “Hi-Beat” movement (28800 bph), resulting in silky smooth second-hand. It's a historically important movement for Seiko, as it found its way into many of Seiko’s turn-of-the-century big hitters like these Alpinists, the King Seiko reissue, the Brightz line, and the Laurel reissue. Sadly all of the recent Alpinists use a more basic movement.

Alpinist. Designed to be used as outdoor watches by Japanese mountain climbers, the Alpinist series started in the 1960s with the release of the Seiko “Laurel” Alpinist. The most recent Alpinists are part of Seiko’s “Prospex” (professional specifications) collection, as they continue the tradition of being tough and rugged. 

Rotating Bezel. Now a feature of all Alpinists, it can be used to determine your bearings if you can currently see the Sun. Works very smoothly, with no binding/sticking and absolutely no loss of colour due to aging.

Strap. Not the original leather strap, but in keeping with the design of the original leather strap

Condition: The watch is in good condition overall. The crystal, cyclops, and dial are in great condition. The case and case back have lots of hairline scratches and bump marks. The photos highlight the condition of the metal clearly. It definitely has definitely been worn as a the sports watch that it was meant to be! The movement has been regulated to +6 seconds per day across three positions. The leather strap is not the original leather strap.

Scope: No box or papers, so it will be packed in a secure leather travel case.

Movement: 4S15 automatic 28800bhp

Dimensions:

  • Lug to Lug: 43.0mm

Do I have to pay customs or taxes?

It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to; the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage, new, or modified), and the import and tax laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.

Are your watches water resistant?

All of our watch mods are tested by our own pressure depth testing equipment, and are guaranteed to resistant water up to 50m of depth. Seiko Originals have varied levels of depth resistance, which will be stated in the description of each watch.

Can I modify an existing design?

We welcome all ideas! Get in touch via the Contact Us page and we can let you know the possibility and cost of any potential alterations.

What is your returns policy?

Due to the hand-made nature of the Seiko Mods, we offer a 7 day returns period after the watch has been received. The returner must bear the cost of the returns, and the watch must be returned in the same condition as it arrived. We do not offer returns on any bespoke or custom-made watches.

Due to the vintage nature of the Seiko Originals, returns are considered on a case-by-case basis, as vintage items typically have a no returns policy.
