For sale is a highly sought after Seiko SCVF007.

The Seiko Alpinist collection is one of the most highly sought after collection by fellow seiko collectors. Originally created for Japanese mountain climbers, the alpinist collection often feature an inner bezel compass. 
With a similar dial layout and case shape many might mistake the SCVF007 with the SARB013 and SBDC093 at the first glance. Upon looking further, one will begin to notice the few differences the SCVF007 possess. 
Two major aesthetic differences being the smaller case size of 37mm and the lack of the red "Alpinist" printing at 6.
The one key factor that makes the SCVF007 superior than the other two is the heart of it; the calibre 4s15.
The 4s15 movement is the descendant of the revered Daini 52 movement. The 4s15 beats at 28000bph, has 40hours power reserve and an accuracy of +25/-15. All this which is similar to the current 8L movement other than the power reserve.
The watch is in excellent condition other than a nick on the side of the case and a light dot near 2 on the dial. The watch was serviced in August 2020 and is fitted with a NOS crystal.
The watch comes with its original bracelet which fits up to 6.5" wrist. Additional straps option are available upon request.
