Is the SPB379 a true GMT?

Yes. The 6R54 movement has an independent 24-hour hand, so you can track a second time zone while the main hands show local time.

How does it compare with the standard Alpinist?

It adds a GMT hand and a 24-hour chapter ring, and it is thicker than the three-hand Alpinist models. The case stays compact at 39.5mm.

It is rated to 200m with a screw-down crown, so it handles swimming and everyday water exposure.

Seiko's 6R54 automatic, with roughly three days of power reserve when fully wound.

Yes, it ships on a stainless steel bracelet. The lug width is 20mm if you want to swap straps.

The inner rotating bezel works as a rough sun-compass aid. It is friction-set, so treat it as a guide rather than a precision instrument.
