At Baselworld 2016 Alpina presents its new automatic diving range, featuring professional diving specifications and a highly effective essential design, which seamlessly joins form and function.
The new Alpina Seastrong Diver 300 Automatic is a professional diving watch with a cushion shaped 44mm stainless steel case that can manage depths up to 300m/1000ft. The design privileges optimal dive time readability and stands out through its essential and functional beauty, which transforms this timepiece in a beautiful masculine object also outside the water.
The design codes of this new range are derived from the Alpina diver watches from the last century, which were equally strong design statements in functional simplicity. The triangle at 12h is a wink the legendary triangle logo of the Brand.
The features of the new Seastrong Diver 300 include a screw-in crown and a screw-down case-back, as well as a unidirectional rotating 60min diving bezel in four different colours. The oversized diver hands, dial indexes and bezel markers are luminous and the watch cyrstal is in anti-reflective treated sapphire.
The watch comes with a see-through case back, which allows to see the inner workings of the Alpina AL-525 automatic caliber.
As standard the watch is equipped with a water-resistant genuine leather strap with stitches at the lugs, and for fashion conscious divers a strap set with 4 different colour rubber straps will be available to accessorize the watch.
About Alpina
THE ORIGINAL SWISS SPORT WATCH
ALPINE SPORTS WATCH MANUFACTURING SINCE 1883
Alpina, famous for its red triangle signature, is an independent, family-owned fine watchmaking manufacture based in Geneva, Switzerland. Founded in 1883, Alpina’s watchmaking history spans more than 130 years. A true pioneer of the Swiss watchmaking industry, Alpina has been the source of numerous patents and innovative calibers. Alpina invented the concept of the Swiss sport watch, as we know it today, with the birth of its legendary Alpina 4 in 1938. Today, Alpina is one of the very few independent Swiss watch companies, which develops, produces and assembles its movements entirely in-house. Alpina proposes five in-house calibers: the AL-980 Tourbillon; the AL-718 World Timer; the AL-950 Automatic Regulator; the AL-710 Automatic Small Date, and, most recently, the AL-760 Flyback Chronograph, featuring the new and patented “Direct Flyback” technology. Faithful to its long tradition of innovation, in 2015 Alpina introduced the first Swiss Made Smartwatch, thereby creating an entirely new watch category in the Swiss watch industry, the Horlogical Smartwatch. Alpina’s mission is to design and engineer luxury sport watches that operate with the greatest precision and reliability possible in the most demanding sporting environments, like the Alps. www.alpina-watches.com
