About Alpina Men's Startimer Pilot 1920s Heritage, 3-Hand
The Alpina Startimer Pilot Heritage Automatic expands into the Heritage designs, as it was modelled on original creations from the 20s. This variation with blue and beige tones evokes the sky and the historical counters used by aviation pioneers. Inside the 44 mm diameter case beats an automatic movement with 38 hours power reserve, driving three hands and the date at 3 o’clock. It maintains the original look of the 20s with the same Arabic numerals and luminescent beige hands as the dials from the era. Their generous proportions help make them easy to read, even when flying and the 24 hour dial is perfect for long-haul pilots. At 12 o’clock, as well as at the tip of the seconds hand, you can find Alpina's symbolic triangle, representing the Alpine peaks. The final finishing touch is provided by an "onion" crown, the standard in the last century, designed for optimum grip, even with flying gloves on. Discerning collectors will also have spotted the push-button at 4 o’clock. The latter opens the Startimer Pilot Heritage Automatic's steel back. Known as the "officer’s case back", the system allows the AL-525 automatic movement to be admired through the transparent case back for the exclusive enjoyment of the owners – a personal pleasure typical of the 20s and 30s. Limited Edition of 288 pieces.
