This is a fast-paced, condensed version of the full Seiko Alpinist service video. If you’ve already watched the original, this shorter version shows you the service process in just under 6 minutes, focusing on restoring precision without the detailed explanations of the inner mechanisms. If you’re looking for a quicker overview, this version gives you just what you need, showcasing how the accuracy was restored with macro footage of the service process.
If you haven’t seen the full version yet, be sure to check it out for a deeper dive into the inner workings of the Seiko Alpinist!
