Alpina - Startimer Pilot Heritage

WHAT WE LOVE:

The Alpina Startimer Pilot Heritage GMT (Ref. AL-555RGS4H6) is a watch that seamlessly blends vintage aviation aesthetics with modern functionality. Encased in a 42mm stainless steel case, this watch features a unique tonneau shape, offering a contemporary twist on classic pilot watch design. The salmon-coloured sunray dial is a classy touch complemented by silver-tone hands and index hour markers. An internal rotating 24-hour bezel, controlled by a secondary crown, allows for tracking a second time zone, enhancing its practicality for frequent travellers. The watch is fitted with a brown leather strap, secured by a tang buckle and has a water resistance of 100 meters.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

At its heart lies the Alpina Caliber AL-555 automatic movement, boasting a 38-hour power reserve and operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. This movement provides essential functions, including hours, minutes, central seconds, date, and a second time zone (GMT). The date display is conveniently positioned at the 3 o'clock mark, adding to its user-friendly design.
