Alpiner Extreme Chronograph Automatic Men's Watch AL-730NS4AE6B

The Watch

Founded in 1883 by Gottlieb Hauser, Alpina is a brand renowned for its highly sophisticated watch collections. Combining sport and elegance, every piece is crafted to the most exacting standards - a testament to generations of Swiss watchmaking mastery. These are perfectly engineered timepieces built to elevate every moment of your day. Today, the manufacture unveils this stunning Alpiner Extreme Chronograph Automatic, reference AL-730NS4AE6B. A true horological masterpiece, it seamlessly blends elegant aesthetics with exceptional performance. Its timeless appeal is anchored by a cushion case crafted in brushed and polished 316L stainless steel for a refined finish, complemented by a bezel featuring six screws that add an extra layer of sophistication. Designed for men who demand both performance and durability, it measures 42.60 mm in length, 41 mm in width, and 14.30 mm in thickness. At 3 o'clock, a knurled, screw-down crown with a blue band is flanked by two pushers, allowing precise control of the dial's various functions. The dial is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal that guards against shocks while ensuring optimal legibility. Finally, this superb model features an engraved case back secured by screws, offering a view of its movement and guaranteeing water resistance to 10 ATM.

The Dial

This stunning watch houses a blue dial that captivates with its refinement and urban flair. Its chic, elegant character is impossible to ignore - a genuine statement piece for the wrist. The blue surface features triangle patterns that create a visually striking contrast. Applied baton indices in silver ensure effortless time reading. The hours and minutes are tracked by nickel-colored brass hands, joined by a seconds hand with a red base. Together, they sweep over the minute track around the perimeter. Both the hands and indices are coated with Super-LumiNova C1 for legibility even in low-light conditions. Three counters at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock display respectively the 30-minute, 12-hour, and 60-second chronograph functions. A date window at 4 o'clock adds precise calendar information. Finally, the brand name is displayed at 12 o'clock, with the "Swiss Made" label at the bottom of the dial.

The Movement

At the heart of this beautiful watch beats an automatic chronograph movement of Swiss origin. This is the AL-730 caliber built on the base of the SW-510, delivering outstanding precision and reliability. With an oscillation frequency of 28,800 vph and 27 jewels, this movement powers the hands, date window, and counters with unwavering accuracy. It provides an impressive power reserve of 62 hours.

The Strap

This exceptional timepiece comes fitted with a brushed and polished 316L stainless steel bracelet that contours the wrist with effortless elegance. Its silver-toned links deliver a sophisticated style that adds brilliance to any outfit. With a length of 180 mm, it is secured by a push-button deployment clasp for a perfect, comfortable fit. The clasp measures 16.00 mm and the lug width is 22.00 mm.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance to 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters - a truly water-ready timepiece. From puddles to the pool, this watch is happy to join you in the water. Showers, baths, and casual swimming are all well within its capabilities. That said, our Ocarat watch experts want to be clear: while water-resistant, this model is not suited for diving (recreational or professional) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend avoiding use of the crown or pushers while submerged.
