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 innovations, patents and calibers. Alpina invented the concept of the sport watch, as we know it today, with the birth of its legendary Alpina 4 in 1938. Faithful to its long tradition of creating mechanical calibers, Alpina produces five in-house movements in its Manufacture: the Tourbillon AL-980, the World Timer AL-718, the Automatic Regulator AL-950, the Small Date Automatic AL-710, and most recently the AL-760 In House Manufacture Direct Flyback Chronograph, a robust movement with only 96 components. 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. The 2015 launch of the Alpina Horological Smartwatch follows this mission with its “connected” technology. Alpina introduces this new model, encasing the AL-725 Automatic Chronograph caliber, while at the same time honoring the 3 different fields of aviation: Air Force, Naval Aviation and Bush flying. The 3 aviation domains are symbolized by the respective dial colors of the thee models: Black for the Air Force, Petrol Blue for Naval Aviation and Military Green for bush flying. The new Star timer Pilot Automatic Chronograph features the iconic Alpina aviation dial design, albeit with a slight vintage touch and the distinctive Alpina red triangle symbol at 12H. To insure perfect time readability, the running seconds counter at 9H has been hidden in order to create a vertical "bi-compass" counter layout. The 44mm diameter stainless steel case with an oversized pilot screw-in crown features a scratchproof sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, an engraved screw-in case-back with the Star timer Pilot Collection symbol and is water-resistant up to 10 ATM /100M /330feet.
