The Watch

Alpina is one of the most iconic names to have shaped the Swiss watchmaking scene with dazzling creations and meaningful innovations. Known for their sport-chic aesthetic and impeccable quality, its watches are designed to be timeless, elegant, high-performing, and robust - built to be worn for years. The brand unveils here its Heritage Carrée AL-530SAC3C6 timepiece from the Alpiner collection. Celebrating the brand's 140th anniversary, it seizes every occasion to make you stand out with distinction. It blends classic design and retro-modern style to perfectly complement your day-to-night wardrobe. Its case is crafted in 316L stainless steel with a refined rectangular shape and polished finish for an exquisite everyday brilliance. Designed to enhance men's wrists, it measures 32.40 mm wide and 39 mm long with a thickness of 9.71 mm. A convex sapphire crystal sits above the dial to protect it from daily shocks and scratches, while its anti-reflective treatment ensures effortless legibility in any setting. A crown at 3 o'clock allows manual adjustment of hours and minutes. On the caseback, a transparent screwed caseback ensures water resistance of 3 ATM while offering an admirable view of the watch's movement.

The Dial

The dial of this watch takes a delicate rectangular shape with a matte finish and silver tone. It draws every eye with its finesse and elegance, making time-reading effortlessly clear. Two black leaf-shaped hands sweep smoothly across the dial to indicate hours and minutes. The perimeter features a minute track marked with black lines, surrounding eleven Arabic numeral indexes for easy hour recognition. At 6 o'clock, a small seconds sub-dial completes your timekeeping. The brand signs the watch below 12 o'clock with its name.

The Movement

The in-house AL-530 caliber - renowned for its high quality and performance - powers this watch with precision and fluidity. Based on SW261, this automatic movement features 31 jewels and oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, or a frequency of 4 Hz. With a power reserve of 38 hours, it reliably drives the hands to display hours, minutes, and seconds.

The Bracelet

The watch comes on a brown ostrich leather strap that enhances its timeless beauty with a delicate, refined touch. White stitching adds a captivating sophisticated flair. With a strap length of 75 x 115 mm, it wraps your wrist with elegance and ensures all-day comfort. It pairs equally well with casual and dressy outfits, always adding the perfect touch of elegance. Its 18 mm tang buckle in 316L stainless steel makes it easy to put on and take off securely. Note that the lug width is 22 mm.

Water Resistance

This watch offers a water resistance of 3 atmospheres, or 30m. This model is made for style, not for water adventures! It shines at events and gatherings, but aquatic environments are not its strong suit. It will handle rain, splashes, or dishwater without a problem - but nothing more. We strongly advise against wearing it in the shower or bath, and even more so for swimming or diving!
