Born to tackle the mountains, this timepiece is now revived with advanced materials, a next-generation movement, and a refined sporty aesthetic that is equally suited to adventure and urban life.
A Seiko icon reinterpreted in a modern key

The deep black dial adds character and elegance, creating a sophisticated contrast with the stainless steel bracelet . The result is a sporty yet timeless design that can effortlessly adapt to any context.
The LumiBrite indexes and hands ensure excellent readability even in low-light conditions, while the screw-down crown and water resistance up to 20 bar underline the outdoor vocation of this model.
Caliber 6R55: three days of mechanical precision
At the heart of the Seiko SPB505 is the new automatic Caliber 6R55 , designed for reliability and high performance. The 72-hour power reserve , equivalent to three full days, allows the watch to be left stopped without losing precision.
Equipped with a stop-second function and manual winding option , the movement ensures total control and an accuracy of between +25 / -15 seconds per day , making it ideal for intensive daily use.

-
Transparent case back engraved with mountain motif , a tribute to the model's Alpine origins
-
Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment , resistant and highly legible
-
39.45mm stainless steel case , proportionate and comfortable on the wrist
A timepiece that doesn't just measure time, but tells a story spanning over sixty years.
From the mountains to the city: an uncompromising style
Technologically advanced and stylistically faithful to the 1959 original, the Laurel Alpinist SPB505 is the ideal watch for those who want to wear a piece of history on their wrist without sacrificing modern comfort, robustness, and reliability.
