Seiko Alpinist GMT HBC007 brings green and gold to the three-day traveller

The green-and-gold combination has long been associated with the Alpinist, and the HBC007J1 brings it to Seiko’s mechanically driven GMT line for an international audience in 2026. The rich forest-green dial uses warm gold-tone numerals and hands, while a bright red-tipped GMT pointer reads against a fixed 24-hour steel bezel. The brown leather strap reinforces its traditional outdoor-watch identity.

A second crown adjusts the rotating inner compass ring, a distinct feature that traces the Alpinist’s mountaineering origins. Seiko’s 6R54 automatic movement offers approximately three days of running time and a second time-zone indication. The 39.5 mm steel case is 13.6 mm thick, protected by curved sapphire crystal, and water-resistant to 200 metres.

Although this reference is marketed internationally as new in 2026, the green Alpinist GMT design previously appeared in Japan as the SBEJ005. Seiko’s US price is US$1,150; the Belgian and Dutch listings show €1,240. This is a new regional offering rather than an entirely new watch design.
