Alpiner Extreme Quartz AL-220PI2AE6B Watch

The Watch

With roots stretching back to 1883, Alpina is a cornerstone of Swiss watchmaking. Specializing in professional sports timepieces and guided by the "alpinist principle" in both design and manufacture, its watches are built to withstand the most extreme conditions while maintaining a refined style. Continuing its legacy of creativity, the brand presents the Alpiner Extreme Quartz AL-220PI2AE6B Watch, combining elegant design with innovative functionality. Its cushion case offers relatively compact proportions with a width of 34 mm, a length of 35 mm, a thickness of 8.35 mm, and a weight of 97 g. Crafted from 316L stainless steel, it is composed of three sections alternating polished and brushed finishes, accentuating the model's three-dimensional look. It is completed by an elegant bezel featuring 6 screws with triangular heads for a bold finish. The bezel frames a sapphire crystal that provides superior scratch resistance for the dial, while its anti-reflective coating ensures excellent legibility. The protected crown at 3 o'clock features a knurled ring for a secure grip when adjusting the hands and date. The whole is completed by a screw-down case back ensuring 10 ATM water resistance and engraved with the brand's logo.

The Dial

The attractive dial features a repeating triangle pattern as its base, creating a three-dimensional effect that adds a sporty edge to the watch. In a feminine pink tone, it delivers a clean, timeless aesthetic. A minute track is printed on the flange to keep the dial's iconic pattern uninterrupted. Only applied silver baton indices, doubled at 12 o'clock, line the perimeter, enabling excellent legibility in low light thanks to their white SuperLuminova C1 treatment. The distinctive nickel-plated hour and minute hands also provide outstanding readability, paired with a slender nickel-plated seconds hand featuring a red triangular counterweight for a pleasing finishing touch. A date window at 6 o'clock displays a white background that blends seamlessly into the dial. The brand's name is signed below 12 o'clock.

The Movement

This model is powered by a high-performance Swiss quartz movement - the in-house AL-220 caliber, based on the Ronda 505 - driven by a 371 battery with a lifespan of 45 months. Featuring 1 jewel, it delivers a three-hand analog display with a date function.

The Strap

This watch comes with an integrated 316L stainless steel bracelet measuring 17 mm wide at the lug. It features a row of H-shaped links connected by chamfered edges that are both visually striking and highly wearable. The bracelet has a brushed finish that pairs beautifully with its silver tone. It measures 22 mm in total width and fastens with a push-button deployment clasp that opens and closes effortlessly. It has a length of 180 mm, fitting men's wrists comfortably in any situation.

Water Resistance

At 100 meters water resistance - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this bold timepiece is equally at home at a black-tie gala and in the water. You can wear it in the shower, the bath, or while swimming (even at full speed). That said, our team of watch experts wants to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving (freediving or tank diving) or high-pressure water jets. Remember: showers, baths, and swimming only - and never operate the pushers or crown while in the water.
