Blue Startimer Pilot AL-525NW4S26 Watch

The Watch

Alpina, the celebrated Swiss watchmaking maison, expands its Startimer Pilot Automatic collection with this new model. It features a two-part round case crafted from brushed and polished stainless steel. Elegant and refined, the case measures 41mm in diameter and 11.5mm thick - ideal proportions for men's wrists. A convex sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating sits over the dial for scratch resistance and optimal legibility. The case features a screw-down crown at 3 o'clock and a bezel with a distinctive design bearing black time markers. Finally, the screw-down case back ensures water resistance to 10 ATM.

The Dial

The elegant petrol blue dial features a stunning matte finish and white Arabic numeral indexes with luminescent treatment. Note the Alpina logo incorporated into the 12 o'clock index. A white seconds graduation ring around the dial perimeter adds extra precision. The rectangular date window at 6 o'clock keeps you informed at a glance. At the center of the round dial, two hands and a seconds hand in steel display hours, minutes, and seconds. Silver-toned, they are hand-polished and filled with white luminescent material. The seconds hand is crowned by an elegant red triangle.

The Movement

An automatic movement powers this timepiece. The AL-525 caliber is a Swiss mechanism with 26 jewels, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour. It delivers a power reserve of 38 hours and displays hours, minutes, seconds, and date.

The Strap

This timepiece comes with a high-quality, comfortable strap. Crafted from brown calfskin leather, it pairs effortlessly with any outfit. Inside, a red lining adds a subtle pop of color only visible from within. Ecru contrast stitching runs along the edges for a refined finishing touch. A pin buckle in silver stainless steel keeps this jewelry securely in place.

Water Resistance

With water resistance to 100 meters - 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this boldly styled timepiece is equally at home at a gala or in the water. Feel free to wear it in the shower, the bath, or while swimming (even at a vigorous pace). That said, our watch experts are clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or high-pressure water jets. To recap: shower, bath, and swimming only - and never manipulate the pushers or crown while in the water.
