Introducing Alpina and their top watches

Regulator, aviation, diver and GMT timepieces. Signature sports watches: Introducing Alpina and their top watches Cementing their position in the horological world for over 130 years, Swiss watchmakers Alpina continue to attain the most exacting horological standards with the introduction of their new iterations of regulator, aviation, diver and GMT timepieces Swiss watchmaking visionary Gottlieb Hauser firmly believed that Alpina would achieve unparalleled global success because his timepieces had unmatchable calibre, robustness, accuracy, and aesthetics. In 1883, he founded the ‘Alpina Swiss Watchmakers Corporation’, an association of independent watch makers. Hauser’s intention was to make the perfect watch for athletes, engineers, technicians and explorers. With the introduction of the ‘Alpina 4’ concept, in 1938, Hauser was able to turn this vision into reality. He brought a revolution in sports watches by defining the four characteristics of a true ‘sport watch’—a steel case, anti-magnetic, water-resistant, and shock-resistant. Then, in 1967, the brand unveiled their iconic Alpina 10, a professional diving watch with a 200m water resistance and an automated mechanism. Soon after that, the watch industry was hit by the ‘quartz crisis’, and the brand was revived in 2002 by Dutch couple Aletta and Peter Stas (founders of Frédérique Constant). The Geneva manufacture still upholds the principles and innovations that Alpina was built on, producing professional sports watches in accordance with the horological requirements. Let’s take a closer look at their top six offerings. Alpiner Extreme Regulator Automatic: precise readings with a conventional layout Regulator clocks, developed in the mid of 18th century, are known for offering the most precise readings by separating the minutes, hours and seconds—the minutes take centrestage on the dial and are read with a large sweep hand, while the hours and seconds are consigned to smaller sub-dials. The Alpiner Extreme Regulator adheres to the traditional regulator layout, with the minutes occupying the standard position of the hours, and read by a central lumed hand. On the granite grey dial, the hours are displayed on a blue sub-dial located between nine and eleven o’clock, while the small seconds are presented on an even smaller blue sub-dial located at six o’clock. The dial is caged inside a heavy-duty steel case measuring 41mm, inspired by the architecture of an earlier 2005 model. Flip the timepiece over to discover the brand’s in-house automatic calibre AL-650, beating at a frequency of 28,800vph, and ensuring a power reserve of 38 hours. The Alpiner Extreme Regulator can even accompany you on a dive, as it is built to offer water-resistance up to 200m. The timepiece is mounted on a navy-blue textured rubber strap.
