Overview

Alpina Alpiner Extreme Automatic Titanium Watch with Silver Dial.

The Alpiner collection takes its specification from the Alpina 4 of 1938: antimagnetic, shock-resistant, water-resistant and cased in stainless steel. The Alpiner Extreme Automatic Titanium builds a three-piece cushion case 40.5 mm long in brushed and polished grade 2 titanium, 39 mm across and 11.5 mm thick.

An AL-525 automatic movement powers the hours, minutes, seconds and a date beneath a sapphire crystal.

The silver dial is satin-finished in the triangle pattern, and the hands and indexes carry a luminescent treatment. The bracelet is brushed and polished grade 2 titanium, closed by a push-button folding clasp.

Questions & Answers

What are the four qualities behind the Alpiner collection?

They come from the Alpina 4 of 1938. Alpina set out that a sports watch had to be antimagnetic, shock-resistant, water-resistant and cased in stainless steel, and the Alpiner collection keeps that brief. Gottlieb Hauser founded Alpina in 1883, and the brand produces and assembles its movements and watches at its manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva.

What difference does titanium make on the wrist?

Grade 2 titanium is lighter than steel, resists corrosion and is hypoallergenic, so case and bracelet together feel lighter than the steel Alpiner Extreme of the same size.

How long does it run when it is not worn?

A full wind delivers about a 38-hour power reserve. Daily wear keeps the mainspring topped up, and after a longer rest in a drawer a few turns of the crown restart it.

Who makes the movement?

Alpina builds the AL-525 on a Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic base, and assembles its watches at its manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, as part of the Frederique Constant group.

How does the luminescent treatment work?

The pigment on the hands and markers stores light and releases it in the dark. It is brightest just after exposure to daylight, fades gradually through the night and recharges the next time it sees light.
