Inside ticks the 4S15 hi beat movement, that was based on the legendary King Seiko «Daini» movement. This sparked the evolution of the 9S GS movements. The monoblock all titanium construction was hard to machine, leading to short production time in the late 90s. --- **Introducing the Seiko SCVF001: A Tribute to the Alpinist Legacy** Launched with the 4S15 Red Alpinist family, the Seiko SCVF001 pays homage to the iconic Alpinist line, featuring the distinctive pair of cathedral hands. Upon closer inspection of the dark matt grey dial, you'll notice that the indices at 12 o'clock are a nod to the first Seiko Alpinist, the Laurel Alpinist 14041. Encasing the dial is a monocoque titanium case with a screw-down crown for enhanced waterproofing. A brushed stainless steel bezel gives the watch a cold, utilitarian look that contrasts with the vibrant lumed indices, ensuring greater visibility. The watch bracelet comes with a ratchet buckle clasp, allowing for easy adjustment when wearing a wetsuit or providing extra comfort in hot weather. Powering the SCVF001 is the calibre 4S15, a descendant of the revered Daini 52 family. The 4S15 operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (vph), has a 40-hour power reserve, and an accuracy of +25/-15 seconds per day. These specifications are similar to the current 8L movement, except for the power reserve. The watch is in excellent condition, with only a few hairline scratches visible on the case and bracelet. A NOS (New Old Stock) Seiko crystal has been installed for enhanced clarity. The watch comes on its original bracelet with full links, fitting wrists up to 8 inches without extending the clasp. It also includes its original guarantee paper. For privacy, the serial number has been covered. **Specifications:** - Diameter: 40mm - Thickness: 12.5mm - Lug Width: 19mm ---
