Milifortic S089 Officially Launches Today — The First Homage to the Seiko Alpinist SPB121
The long wait is finally over — the Milifortic S089 officially debuts today. The S089 is the first watch on the market to truly and faithfully pay homage to the legendary Seiko Alpinist. From design to build quality and function, this piece fully inherits the essence of the Alpinist — yet comes in at less than one-third of the price. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this model so special.

The black and green dial versions are priced at $184 USD, while the gold bezel version comes in at $199 USD. Compared to the Seiko Alpinist, the price is less than one-third — yet in terms of overall quality, craftsmanship, and wrist feel, the R089 easily rivals the original.
