Seiko Prospex Landmaster Miura Everest Watch Review
Monday - 07 January 2013
Seiko has created a limited edition watch in tribute to 80-year-old Japanese alpinist Yuichiro Miura, who plans to climb Mount Everest for the third time in May 2013.
Miura became the oldest person to reach the summit of Mount Everest in 2003, aged 70. He broke the record for a second time in 2008 at 75 years old. Seiko will now honour Miura's third attempt at the achievement with a 300-piece limited edition watch.
