The Alpina Heritage Tropic-Proof Handwinding watch is a faithful reissue of an iconic 1960s model - more precisely, from 1965. This watch perfectly captures the essence of the era while integrating modern advances for enhanced functionality. The case is crafted from 316L stainless steel, a material prized for its robustness and corrosion resistance, weighing 61 g. It features a classic round shape, with a diameter of 34.00 mm and a thickness of 9.25 mm, giving it beautifully delicate proportions. This retro-styled piece is finished with a domed sapphire crystal, known for its durability and clarity, protected by an anti-reflective treatment for optimal legibility in all lighting conditions.
The dial of this watch features an immaculate white, enhanced by a brilliant finish that beautifully captures the light. The luminescent hands and indexes, equipped with SuperLuminova technology, ensure perfect visibility in the dark - blending elegant aesthetics with essential functionality. The dial displays three hands, offering a classic analog display of hours, minutes, and seconds with precision and fluidity. The brand name, proudly displayed, adds a touch of authenticity and underlines the watch's prestigious character. Every element of the dial has been designed to evoke the sober, efficient elegance typical of 1960s watchmaking, while meeting modern standards.
The heart of this timepiece beats with a Swiss mechanical hand-winding movement, identified as caliber AL-480. Beating at a frequency of 28,000 A/h (Hz), this movement delivers remarkable precision while honoring the tradition of manual watchmaking craftsmanship. The watch benefits from a power reserve of 42 hours, offering comfortable autonomy between windings. This mechanism reflects a deep commitment to quality and accuracy - values at the very core of the Alpina brand.
The strap of this watch is crafted in beige Alcantara, a material renowned for its unique softness and exceptional durability. It is accented by stitching that speaks to careful craftsmanship, adding a refined detail. With a lug width of 17.00 mm, it fits the case perfectly and closes with a silver-toned pin buckle - both practical and elegant - reinforcing the piece's retro-chic style. This strap completes the design, paying homage to the relaxed yet refined aesthetic of the 1960s.
This timepiece offers water resistance of 3 ATM, or 30 meters. It is not designed for aquatic adventures - showering, bathing, swimming, or diving. However, you can wear it for hand-washing or light household tasks involving minimal water exposure.
