Seastrong diver 300 heritage brand new colours for the iconic alpina diving watch
The 2022 edition of the Seastrong Diver 300 Heritage embodies everything #Alpina stands for: an athletic feel powered by state-of-the-art technology and vintage undertones in step with its heritage, inspired by the 10 Seastrong, the brand's very first Super Compressor. This new watch stars something of a first for the Maison, too: a green face paired with an original green rubber strap. Thanks to its two push-buttons – one to set the time, the other to programme its mobile rehaut – the latest addition to the family stands out as the ultimate automatic dive watch, measuring 42 mm across and water-resistant up to 300 metres.
For this new version, #Alpina opted for all-over green, from face to strap. Generally, a mainstay of pilots' watches, green is rarely associated with diving watches. This year, #Alpina decided to wander off the beaten path with a shade symbolic of underwater life and biodiversity: a tribute to the ocean, Earth's largest ecosystem. A glossy, radiant finish scatters light evenly across the face in a glow reminiscent of sunshine reflecting off the surface of the water.
This mirror-shine effect serves to further enhance the different shades of green used while improving clarity of the hour and minute hands – a crucial feature for any diver's watch. #Alpina has taken care to come up with a trio of large hands to ensure the Seastrong Diver 300 Heritage is functional and genuinely usable in action. Each of the three hands is shot through with luminous matter, and the minute hand is topped with a generous arrow pointing up to indices that glow just as brightly, making sure that divers are never left guessing just how long they've been in the water.
Immersion times are calculated using the Seastrong Diver 300 Heritage's black bi-directional flange, which can be adjusted using the upper crown positioned at the two o'clock mark. The timer can be set for dives for up to 60 minutes. Positioned opposite the minute hand, it instantly counts time spent under water, or any other timespan divers may like to work with, such as remaining oxygen time or decompression limits. The second crown is set above the four o'clock mark and can be used to change the time. These two screw-down crowns prevent any mishaps when handling the watch once the time and flange have been set.
In terms of fittings, the Seastrong Diver 300 Heritage puts the emphasis on sturdiness thanks to its steel casing: polished and brushed on the sides, measuring 42 mm across and water-resistant up to 300 metres. It boasts a full steel caseback engraved with Alpina's beloved Alps and embellished with a trident in a nod to the watch's maritime flavour, and is anchored to a new green rubber strap that is sand-, sea salt- and corrosion-resistant. Self-winding with a high frequency of 28'800 alt. /h, the Seastrong Diver 300 Heritage offers 38 hours of power reserve.
