Alpina, one of the pioneers in professional pilot watches introduces its new Startimer Pilot Automatic Chronograph, featuring a vertical “bi-compax” counter layout and distinctive military dial colours, to honour three different fields of aviation.
A legendary aviation heritage
In the first 50 years of the past century #alpina was a renowned manufacturer and official supplier of military aviation watches to continental air forces. Early aviation pioneers had strict requirements: their instruments had to be extremely precise and provide ultimate shock resistance. In addition, #alpina pilot’s watches were mostly equipped with an anti-magnetic case, highly contrasting dials with oversized luminous numerals and luminous hands for instant readability. Since its initial launch in 2011, the Startimer Pilot Collection has imposed itself as one of most recognized and recognizable professional pilot watches on the market.
The Startimer Pilot Automatic Chronograph
Alpina introduces this new model, encasing the AL-725 Automatic Chronograph caliber, while at the same time honouring the 3 different fields of aviation: Air Force, Naval Aviation and Bush flying. The 3 aviation domains are symbolized by the respective dial colours of the thee models: Black for the Air Force, Petrol Blue for Naval Aviation and Military Green for bush flying.
The new Startimer Pilot Automatic Chronograph features the iconic #alpina aviation dial design, albeit with a slight vintage touch and the distinctive #alpina red triangle symbol at 12H. To insure perfect time readability, the running seconds counter at 9H has been hidden in order to create a vertical “bi-compax” counter layout.
The 44mm diameter stainless steel case with an oversized pilot screw-in crown features a scratchproof sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, an engraved screw-in case-back with the Startimer Pilot Collection symbol and is water-resistant up to 10 ATM /100M /330feet.
Alpina, famous for its red triangle signature, is a fine watchmaking manufacture based in Geneva, Switzerland. Founded in 1883, Alpina’s watchmaking history spans more than 130 years.
A true pioneer of the Swiss watchmaking industry, #alpina has been the source of numerous patents and innovative calibers. #alpina invented the concept of the Swiss sport watch, as we know it today, with the birth of its legendary #alpina 4 in 1938.
Today, #alpina is one of the very few Swiss watch companies, which develops, produces and assembles its movements entirely in-house. #alpina proposes five in-house calibers: the AL-980 Tourbillon; the AL-718 World Timer; the AL-950 Automatic Regulator; the AL-710 Automatic Small Date, and, most recently, the AL-760 Flyback Chronograph, featuring the patented “Direct Flyback” technology.
Faithful to its long tradition of innovation, in 2015 #alpina introduced the first connected Swiss Made Horological Smartwatch, thereby creating a new watch category in the Swiss watch industry.
Alpina’s mission is to design and engineer luxury sport watches that operate with the greatest precision and reliability possible in the most demanding sporting environments, like the Alps.
