Product description
A Turning Point for Alpina
The Alpiner Extreme Automatic marks a significant turning point for the Maison, which will now focus its future on mechanical properties and outdoor use. The watch is presented in an entirely new format of 39 x 40.4 mm, with a design that prioritises functionality. It is stripped back to the essentials: three hands and a date display, which stand out prominently against the high-contrast dial.
The centrepiece of the new design is the stainless steel case, characteristic of the Extreme line, which has now been given a more contemporary look: a robust, brushed cushion shape, complemented by a circular bezel and dial. Surrounding the bezel are six screws with a triangular cross-section, a stylistic nod to the Alpina logo, a consistent feature since 2009.
The case reinforcement (at 9 o'clock) and the crown guard (at 3 o'clock) are positioned on either side of the sturdy case. It also features a rubberised crown, appreciated for its grip and ease of use, whether with or without gloves. The crown is screw-down to ensure water resistance up to 20 ATM / 200 metres.
Enthusiasts of fine mechanical watches will not be disappointed either. The AL-525 calibre is fully visible through a sapphire crystal case back. As an automatic watch, it provides a power reserve of 38 hours. However, the toughest challenge lies ahead: choosing between these three new, non-limited models, all offered at the same price—one of the most attractive in the market for beautiful ‘Swiss Made’ watches designed for adventure, which remains Alpina’s core mission.
