Alpina Alpiner Comtesse Quartz Watch AL-240S3NC6B

The Watch

Crafted at the Alpina manufacture in Geneva, the Alpiner Comtesse Quartz Watch AL-240S3NC6B is irresistibly elegant. It features a stunning 316L stainless steel case in silver, measuring 36.5 mm in diameter and 9.89 mm thick - perfect proportions for women's wrists. The standout detail is the gorgeous blue bezel, featuring a serrated edge that frames the sapphire crystal treated with anti-reflective coating. On the right side, a slim crown lets you set the time with ease. Finally, the screw-down case back ensures water resistance to 6 ATM.

The Dial

This white dial is beautifully round - a timeless design that keeps things effortlessly elegant. Three grey and white hands sit at the center, including a slender seconds hand tipped with a red triangle for instant recognition. They sweep across arrow-shaped hour indices, except at 3, 9, and 12 o'clock, where Arabic numerals take their place. At 6 o'clock, a date window displays the day's date in black. Alpina's name is discreetly inscribed just below 12 o'clock.

The Movement

Powering this watch is a Swiss quartz movement - caliber 240 based on a Ronda 515. Highly reliable, it delivers a battery life of up to 45 months.

The Strap

A sleek stainless steel bracelet completes this watch, adding definition and character to the timepiece. Modern and stylish, it will look perfect on any wrist. The bracelet fastens with a silver deployant clasp. Note that the lug width measures 18 mm.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 6 atmospheres (60 m). Designed to shine in social settings, its precious character doesn't compromise its resilience. You can wear it in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it by the sink to preserve its brilliance and integrity over time. Swimming and diving are not recommended, as exposure to water pressure could cause damage and lead to repair costs.
