Limited Edition Chronograph Hits the Slopes
Alpina re-affirms its deep connections to the sporting world by introducing an eye-catching , affordably priced quartz chronograph in partnership with the snow sport Freeride World Tour .
The new limited edition Alpiner Quartz Chronograph Freeride World Tour 2022 commemorates Alpina ’ s fifth year as a partner of the ski and snowboarding competition series .
To be produced as a limited edition of 100 pieces , the 42mm steel watch is designed to recall the original 1938 Alpiner4 , complete with Alpina ’ s red triangle logo at the base of the seconds hand . Like the original Alpiner4 , this new model also combines the four primary features that typically define a sports watch : anti-magnetism , shock resistance , water resistance and a steel case .
This limited model , however , incorporates the Freeride World Tour ‘ alpine peaks ’ logo at 12 o ’ clock and on its solid caseback ( atop an engraving of the Swiss extreme skiing mountain Bec De Rosses ). The watch also adds a chronograph , which is displayed here on the black dial via three counters , each framed by a silver circle .
Alpina touts an impressive four-and-a-half-year battery life for its quartz movement .
Price : $ 1,295 .
