About the Brand

Famous for its red triangle - a symbol of the famous Swiss Matterhorn - Alpina is a Swiss watch manufacturer based in Geneva, Switzerland, founded in 1883 by a group of passionate watchmakers. A true pioneer in the Swiss watchmaking industry, Alpina has brought the world numerous patents and innovative calibres. Thus, when the brand introduced its legendary Alpina 4 in 1938, it invented the concept of the Swiss sports watch as we know it today. In line with its long tradition of innovation, Alpina created a new watch category in the Swiss industry in 2015 with the launch of the first networked Swiss Made Horological Smartwatch for luxury sports watches that are characterised by maximum precision and reliability even in extreme situations such as in the Alps.

We are an official retailer of the Alpina brand, which has decisive advantages for you as a customer in terms of security, warranty and after-sales service when purchasing online.

This is such a beautiful watch for the money. I personally feel it's better than the others in its range like the Hamilton. Well built, strong and beautiful watch. Review by Ben24 (Posted on 22.01.2023) for Alpina Startimer Pilot Nato, AL-235B4FBS6 0 | Report abuse

High-quality quartz watch in retro style (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
Verified Purchase
The Alpina Startimer Pilot Nato is very good value for money, especially at the discount offered here. The aviator-style dial offers quick and easy readability, which you might not necessarily expect from the pictures: The hands are delicate and framed in black, but stand out clearly from the black dial due to their material (metal). The length of the hands is well thought out: The second hand, which hits the indices quite well, reaches exactly to the end of the short indices (e.g. minutes 1-4). The pointed minute hand reaches to the middle of these indices and stands out from the respective minute markings thanks to the black frame. Also worth mentioning is the typical Alpina triangle on the back of the second hand. It is red and complements the "Startimer" inscription on the dial, which is also red. These small color elements are used carefully and accentuate the appearance of the watch. The PVD-coated stainless steel case looks robust and high-quality and is matt brushed (the eyelets of the NATO strap are of a similar quality, by the way). The crown is signed with the typical Alpina triangle and the case back is also decorated in a way that is worth seeing. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal is slightly curved, which harmoniously complements the retro look of this Alpina. Despite this not exactly modern look, the watch does not want to be something that it is not: With a water resistance of 100m, it is clear that functionality is not neglected, especially when you consider that pilot's watches (especially in the higher price segment) are often not waterproof for more than 50m. However, the previously mentioned legibility, which is provided by the 42mm case diameter, has remained true to the history of pilot's watches, especially because the dial is not restricted by a wider glass frame or a bezel. A somewhat more special feature of this watch is the rather atypical lug width of 21mm, which should somewhat limit the choice of strap. In principle, however, many different strap styles should suit the black pilot's watch, so that you can wear it for different occasions by changing the strap. All in all, the Alpina Startimer Pilot Nato is a highly recommended watch for anyone who appreciates pilot-style models and values robustness. The design has a clear retro influence, but still conveys a modern feel, which gives the model a certain timelessness.

Noble aircraft at a budget price (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
Verified Purchase
I am completely satisfied with my new Startimer. The legibility of the numbers and the time is simply excellent, as is the comfort. I have been wearing the watch non-stop for the last few days, and that is saying something for me - I usually change my watches several times a day. The overall impression of quality is very high. The only downside - admittedly this will probably not bother most wearers - is the lug width of 21mm, which severely limits the search for suitable straps.

The Alpina Startimer Pilot Nato AL-235B4FBS6 is a pilot style watch. The dial of this watch is equipped with Arabic numerals and luminous details for easy reading of the time. This watch is a great option for pilots looking for a reliable and versatile watch. It is light and ergonomic. I think this is a very good option if you are looking for a good quality pilot style watch at an affordable price.

Excellent product (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
Verified Purchase
Aesthetically very pleasing, in real life even better than in the picture. Very well designed, easy to read and above all precise. With a sporty and modern look, the NATO/NATO strap gives it an extra touch. Again, the diameter of its case of only 42 mm, rather rare for an Aviator, also gives this watch a complement of elegance and class. Completely satisfied with this purchase.

Beautiful watch at a fair price (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
A high-quality watch that is really very affordable at the sale price. The high-quality case and the elaborate dial are particularly noteworthy. I also have another watch from Alpina, this one has been running reliably for years and is still beautiful.

FAQ

Questions about warranty

How long is my warranty?

You will find details of the item's warranty on the relevant product page under additional information. We provide the official international manufacturer's warranty for branded watches and branded jewellery. This is at least 24 months. Individual brands or products sometimes have a significantly longer warranty. CHRISTIAN brand jewellery is guaranteed for 24 months.

What does the warranty cover?

A watch's warranty generally covers manufacturing and material defects, including the movement, hands, dial, crown and sometimes the case. However, it does not cover damage resulting from incorrect use, lack of care (see our maintenance tips), accidents or normal wear and tear (e.g. straps, batteries, etc.).

Questions about the products

Are your watches original?

Yes, all the products we sell are original and 100% new. They are purchased directly from the respective manufacturer.

Is the watch water-resistant?

Information on water resistance is indicated for each watch in the product information. Here you can find the detailed meaning of the various specifications and the water activities you can do with your watch: www.uhrenschmuck24.ch/wasserdichtigkeit

What is the difference in colour between 14-carat and 18-carat gold?

18 carat gold contains 75% pure gold, which gives it an intense, warm yellow colour that radiates elegance. In comparison, 14 carat gold, with 58.5% pure gold, has a slightly lighter, more restrained yellow colour. In white gold, 14 carat appears brighter and more radiant, while 18 carat has a softer, subtle lustre. In rose gold, 14 carat stands out with a more intense shade of pink, while 18 carat is characterised by a softer, more restrained shade of red.

Does the jewellery come with a certificate of authenticity?

All CHRISTIAN diamond jewellery is sent with a certificate of authenticity indicating that our diamonds are natural and extracted from conflict-free sources.
CHRISTIAN gold jewellery and silver jewellery do not come with a certificate. The responsibility label (CGZ stamp) on the piece of jewellery is sufficient to indicate that it was produced by CHRISTIAN AG. The gold quality is indicated by the symbol 750 or 585. The silver quality is indicated by the symbol 925.

Are your diamonds and gemstones natural?

CHRISTIAN diamonds and gemstones are natural. They come from conflict-free sources and meet the strictest international standards.
