Alpina Seastrong

The Alpina Seastrong is a diver's watch with a unidirectional rotating bezel in four colors and a water-resistant rating to 300 meters (30 ATM). The luxury watch from 2016 has an automatic movement caliber AL-525, while the new edition in 2017 was equipped with a Sellita SW 200 Automatic clockwork. The features are otherwise identical, except for a modern rubber strap on the new edition: a 44 mm case, a transparent case back and a screw-down crown. The dial is designed with indexes with luminous material. There is a date window at 3 o'clock. The diving watch is an entry-level diving watch in the luxury segment with all the important functions for divers.

The Alpina Seastrong

The Seastrong model from Alpina, with a simple look focused on functionality, has a stainless steel case with a transparent back that, together with the colored bezel, emphasizes the sporty character of the luxury watch. The crown with extra handy profile surface is screwed. The men's watch is 13 mm high. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal is part of the basic equipment.

The clockwork

An automatic caliber AL 525, which is also installed in Alpina Starttimer pilot luxury watches, provides a precise time display with 28,800 vibrations per hour. The power reserve is 38 hours.

Bezel

The unidirectional rotating bezel is an important accessory for divers. It marks the beginning of the dive. The indices on the dial and on the bezel are designed to be larger than average and have luminous material to make them visible even in murky water. The color palette of the Seastrong luxury watch ranges from black to burgundy to maritime blue and anthracite.

Dial

Alpina's Seastrong features a reduced design with luminous indexes on its dial. The three-hand movement is covered with luminous material. The typical Alpina triangle can be seen at 12 o'clock, which can also be found on the bezel. The seconds are displayed in increments of five. A date window is located at 3 o'clock. Openworked hands, a red marker on the seconds hand, and narrow hour markers keep the black dial uncluttered. All in black, Alpina's Seastrong benefits from beige luminous material.

Variations of the Alpina Seastrong include the Seastrong Diver 300 and other functional dive watches in the luxury segment. One of them is the Seastrong Diver 300 Big Date with large date display at 6 o'clock and three sub-dials with 60 seconds, 30 seconds and 1/10 second. The Alpina Seastrong Diver Heritage is a faithful retro model with a black internal dive time ring on the white dial, which can be moved via an additional crown. The Alpina Seastrong Horological Smartwatch pays homage to the growing demand for smartwatches. With the simplicity of a dive watch, it informs of incoming calls, serves as an activity tracker and sleep monitor. The water resistance is 100 meters.
