Up for sale is the Seiko Laurel LHAM600 in great condition Images: https://imgur.com/a/zyITAxB Timestamp: https://imgur.com/a/K6AVUXw Video: https://imgur.com/1PXHGza The LHAM600 was part of the Laurel lineup released in 1995, which paid tribute to the 1959 Laurel Alpinist — Japan’s first real attempt at a rugged sports watch made for winter mountaineering. The original Alpinist was inspired by Chiharu Igaya’s silver medal at the 1956 Winter Olympics, a huge moment that sparked a boom in skiing and alpine sports in Japan. Seiko built the Laurel Alpinist to match that spirit — strong lume, mountain-shaped markers, and a no-nonsense tool watch vibe. The LHAM600 follows that same heritage but leans more toward a clean, dressy look. It still carries subtle nods to the Alpinist line, like the mountain-inspired hour markers seen on the SCVF005. In fact, you could argue that the LHAM600 looks closer to the 1959 Alpinist than the modern reissues. It has a soft blue dial with mirror-polished casework, silver applied markers, and dauphine hands — a sharp everyday watch that still feels connected to Seiko’s rugged past. Inside beats the 4S15 “Hi-Beat” automatic movement, running at 28,800 bph with hacking and hand-winding. It was a premium in-house caliber for Seiko at the time, also used in the iconic SCVF Alpinists. The case measures 38mm wide, 43.7mm lug-to-lug, 10.9mm thick, and 20mm lug width — a very wearable size that suits almost any wrist. You get an onion-shaped crown, a polished laurel leaf motif on the caseback, and the original bracelet that fits up to about a 7.1-inch (18cm) wrist. This watch is in great condition, the case shows little scratches here and there. Crystal is flawless. The minute markers outside the hour indices are slightly faded (at the 4-5 o’clock position and 9-12 o’clock position). It comes with the original bracelet. The watch is recently serviced so it keeps great time. No box or papers, but a standard watch box will be provided upon purchasing. Price: $725 + $35 flat shipping (via FedEx/DHL – shipping costs me around $70–$80, so I cover the rest). Payment via PayPal F&F or G&S (+4.6% fee paid by buyer). Not accepting trades.
