An early 2000s, now discontinued, titanium 8F56 HAQ (+/- 20 seconds per **year**) GMT Perpetual Calendar Alpinist from Seiko. **Model**: Seiko SBCJ019 / 8F56-00D0 **Year**: September 2002 **Complications**: It’s both GMT and a Perpetual calendar. The calendar won’t need correcting until February 28, 2100. Despite having a GMT hand, it’s still an Alpinist at heart so there’s rotating inner compass bezel instead of a World Timer bezel. The bezel can be used to determine the direction of North as long as you can see the Sun. **The Movement**: High Accuracy Quartz (HAQ). In its very nature quartz is very accurate (typically +/- 15 seconds per month), but it has one major weakness: changes in temperature. HAQ movements are thermos-compensated, meaning they can adjust themselves when the temperature changes, resulting in an accuracy of +/- 20 seconds per year! **The Battery**: The 8F56 battery up to a 10-year lifespan. It was replaced in 2023 so you’re good to go for a while! **Materials**: The case and bracelet are titanium making it super lightweight. A mix of polished and brushed surfaces give it a rugged but smart appearance. The bracelet is the full length (13 link) original titanium bracelet. **The Condition**: Very good condition overall. The crystal is flawless. The titanium casing has hairlines, but there are no deep marks. The photos show the condition well. The watch has just been serviced by Seiko Japan, and had its battery replaced at the same time. You can expect up to 10 years from the battery. **Price**: Offered at **$960** plus shipping. Bank Wire, [Wise.com](http://Wise.com), PayPal or Shopify via my website are accepted. Not accepting trades. Fees paid by you. **Scope**: No box or papers. **Movement**: 8F56 HAQ **Case Width:** 38.5mm **Case Thickness:** 11.1mm **Bracelet Length:** 7.0” wrist (18cm) [Album](https://imgur.com/a/BZ4h11l) [Timestamp](https://imgur.com/a/jMe3Mpv)
