​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. The Alpina Star timer Camoue Pilot Big Date Chronograph features a new take on design. Mirroring the functionality of flight instruments, the displays are generously sized and clearly laid out. The hands of the dial have a white luminescent coating that guarantees high legibility in case of poor visibility. The unmistakable red Alpina triangle signature is found in its traditional position at the base of the central chronograph hand. The optics of this decidedly masculine timepiece are rounded off by an attractive stainless steel case with black pvd coating and a black genuine leather strap. But what makes this timepiece really stand out is the beautiful camoue dial with its big date at 6 o'clock. The chronograph function has all the features needed: the sub dial at 9 o'clock shows the recorded minutes while the seconds can be read off from the central hand. The permanent small seconds hand in the sub dial at 6 o'clock indicates that the watch is running normally. With a sapphire glass crystal scratch resistant face, secured against drops in pressure, the watch has all the credentials of an air pilots watch. The 44mm stainless-steel case of the Star timer Camoue Pilot Chronograph Big Date is water-resistant up to 10 ATM and houses the AL-372 high precision Swiss quartz chronograph movement. The case back is decorated with an engraving of a jet fighter, to remind us of its spirit. The new Star timer Camoue Pilot Chronograph Big Date will delight both professional soldiers to accompany them during their operational missions on hostile grounds and people looking for a nice and stylish desert camoue designed Swiss watch.
