The new Alpinist designs were recently released and will be coming in 3 color schemes: green, black, and white/cream (SBDC 091, 087 and 089, respectively).
They feature a longer power reserve at 70hrs via a 6R35 movement (same 21,600 vibration), a cyclops over the date window, and a display case back. Other changes include addition of Prospex logo on the dial.
The price will be 75000 yen (about £535 or $690) for strap models (green, white/cream) and 77000 yen (about £550 or $710) for bracelet model (black).

Like the look of the black one with bracelet and will certainly be keeping an eye on this early near year, will have to wait and see how much value it offers when nearly double the price of the black dial Sarb.

Re: New Seiko Alpinist arriving Jan 2020
I agree. This has appeared on a few of their new releases recently and is an instant turn off for me.

Just an update. There appears to be another color scheme with the release, cream dial with silver indexes and hands. I still prefer the black dial model. The cyclops seems out of place.
For anyone desiring the blue dialed Alpinist, it appears ADs are receiving shipments. Our local one received 2 pieces.
