The all-new StarTimer Pilot Chronograph Big Date is actually designed for serious pilots who fly in fast jets and who make split second decisions about the limits to which they can push their planes and themselves.
The StarTimer Pilot Chrono Big Date features the perfectly readable and essential aviation dials of the Alpina Startimer range, which are appreciated by pilots worldwide. Every element of functionality built into these watches is designed to provide the essential information to a pilot, the moment he needs it.
Every model in the new range is driven by the AL-372 quartz chronograph movement. Other features include an extra-wide 44 mm-diameter, two-part stainless steel case, a scratchproof sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, big date and small second displays at the 6 o’clock position.
The unmistakable red Alpina triangle signature “the Alpiner” is in its traditional position at the base of the second hand, and for activities other than flying, these watches are water resistant to 100 metres. All watches from the collection come with a fabric “Cordura” strap with a tongue buckle in different colours matching the dial and case, or a stainless steel bracelet.
Alpina is the official watch of the Cessna Aircraft Corporation, and to honour this partner and aircraft manufacturing pioneer, Alpina has engraved a Cessna Citation on the case-back of the StarTimer Pilot Chrono Big Date. The StarTimer Pilot Big Date collection comes with an unrivalled battery life of 48 months.
