Well between those two I gotta go with the Seiko.
I got the same baby alpinist last year and its an absolutely stunning watch ❤
I have a Hamilton Khaki Field automatic 38. The movement is crazy accurate. Better than my Junghans Max Bill automatic and on par with my Sinn 556aRS.
I loved Interstellar and i visited a local AD and the felt underwhelmed by the 38mm Murph.
I like the green Baby Alpinist 155 from Seiko but I've heard the 6R35 is not well regulated in some units.
I think the Seiko is more interesting with the dial and polished sides on the case. But I do like the taper on the Hamiltons bracelet a lot better. I have the green baby Alpinist on a Parnis jubilee, which I got from a review you did awhile back. It fits both Alpinists.
Both look great but that Seiko dial is beautiful.
I like the screw down crown on the Alpinist and added water resistance but Hamilton has a better movement and brand name. I own the Murph and absolutely love it. I would like to get the Oyster Uncle strap but they are always sold out
Love this comparison! Love both these models.
I bought the SPB211 after watching your review more time than I would like to admit.
Main reason is I can't have my daily without date, and in my region the SPB211 is half the price of the murph.
I just hope Uncle will release the senator bracelet like the one on the murph with alpinist endlink, as it will be the perfect bracelet for me.
I like both. I own the murph, love the movie connection - which is my only reason for preferring it overall.
Hamilton Murp 38 for me.
What is that rainbow effect on them?
Even though I think Seiko charges too much for a very basic (but solid) movement, I'll never stop disliking the Powermatic.
I mean why would you want a mechanical movement that's made to be disposable and unrepairable?
The H-10 is NOT a powermatic. It has two more jewels, and a non synthetic escapement. It's also repairable
I have the Murph. The movement is superior. +/-1 second a day. I prefer a brushed case (less finger prints) and it's thinner (better for NATO straps). Seiko will obviously have better lume but the Arabic numerals aren't lumed (unlike the Murph)so what's the point. And the Seiko movement is trash compared to the Hamilton. +/-16 seconds a day or whatever. Garbage.
I wear my Murph on a khaki colored ribbed NATO from CNS watch bands and it looks amazing.
This is a little unfair ... you're comparing a personal anecdote about the Hamilton's accuracy with the stated accuracy of the Seiko … in reality the Hamilton's stated accuracy (or really the ETA 2824's) is just about neck and neck with the Seiko's (+/-30 for the ETA vs -15/+25 for the Seiko). In hand from anecdotal experience the Seiko is usually around 5 seconds fast. So the difference isn't that stark.
Not only that but also the Seiko can be regulated at home. Also you only need 1 lumed hour marker to tell the time as long as the hands are lumed and 12-6 line is about perpendicular to the run of your wrist.
@moreplatesmoreface I have 3 hamiltons all within 2 seconds per day and the accuracy stays great even when low down the power reserve. My seiko 6r35 not so accurate and thr 6r35 I have worse its about plus 11 seconds per day if fully wound when power reserve lower its 30+ fast this defeats the object of 60 hr reserve .

@@nwerdscissorhands7475 The Murph should have an older style 2824 inside!
Seiko for me
Definitely the Hamilton. If the Seiko was less than half of its rrp then I might consider it... Nah, I'm still taking the Hamilton.
Hammy wins! ❤
I had both and sold both. The Murph is a good watch with an infinitely more precise movement but it lacks a screw-down crown. The Seiko is prettier and could even be compared to an Explorer but it has 3 major flaws: Too thick, crappy bracelet and worst movement ever.
What do you have to replace the 2 ?
@@daveLin104 well, right now nothing. I only have divers !
Faux patina 🤮
Seiko just has better lume and a better dial, bracelet, build, a date. Tbh it's a no contest
Hamilton is boring. Seiko is artistic
I believe no man can say no to #mamacoo
