What reference number is this Seiko? I really like it!

Thanks! Hereโs the info:
Itโs the SPB259 - aka the โAlpinist Ginza.โ
Itโs the OG 1959 field watch design, with 200m WR of the 1959 Seiko Alpinist + the dial is patterned brickwork of the streets of Ginza/Gion, and the Konparu blue second hand like a traditional maikoโs (young geisha) hairpiece in that area.

Despite Seiko making 3500 of these, theyโre hard to get! Mine has some sentimental value so itโs a keeper (unless supplanted by another Ginza themed watch gifted by my wife.
So, Iโd suggest โmystic forestโ Alpinist or the blue fishbone pattern Alpinist as my other favorites. Those 2 are similar can be had at discounts!

Too kind, as always, Tony. Well, we are sadly needing to cancel several cardiac surgeries this week for lack of staff and exhausted staff, but it wonโt be on account of me: Iโm working my tail off !
Thatโs such a sick watch! The dial is almost hypnotic ๐ตโ๐ซ

Thanks Gary!
Yes, somehow the dark and lighter tiles seem to alternate and move, so watch can be one you look at โฆ but donโt notice the time ๐
