Alpina Alpiner Extreme Quartz Glacier Ice Blue Limited Edition
Swiss watchmaker Alpina has launched a new limited edition glacier ice blue dial version of its Alpiner Extreme Quartz watch.
The new Alpiner Extreme Quartz comes with an ultra-compact diameter of 34 x 35.20mm. Released in an ultra-limited edition of just 83 pieces (a nod to the year Alpina was founded, 1883), it boasts three exclusive features: a bespoke dial, two jewel-set bands on the bezel and a dedicated, matching rubber strap.
The dial offers an expanse of regular, gentle highlights in shades of blue and turquoise recalling the mountain glaciers native to Alpina’s natural habitat – a palette that marks a first for Alpina, forming the backdrop for the luminous hands and hour markers.
The solid steel caseback engraved with the Alpina logo is guarantee water resistant to depths of 100m (equivalent to 10atm). At six o’clock, an understated date window makes a discreet appearance in the glacier blue decorating the lively and distinctive dial.
The bezel, meanwhile, is clad with two rows of diamonds. This is another first for Alpina: no other Alpiner in the current collection has a jewel setting like it. Six screws emerge from this precious bezel, their triangular heads a nod to the alpine summits from which the brand draws inspiration; the seconds hand counterweight also bears a similar triangular motif.
The new Alpiner Extreme Quartz sports a textured rubber strap especially designed to match one of the three hues on the dial. It comes with a deployment clasp.
Designed to withstand extreme environments, this timepiece houses the AL-220 quartz movement with a battery life of 45 months.
