Alpina Alpiner 4 Automatic Watch

For over 140 years, Alpina has been blazing its own trail in the watchmaking world, staying true to its spirit of independence and adventure. One of the earliest producers of Swiss sports watches, Alpina has built an enduring legacy of crafting robust, high-performance timepieces that are made to withstand the elements. Their modern Alpiner collection embodies this rugged tradition, combining classic heritage with sleek, modern design cues to create versatile watches ready for the toughest conditions.

The Alpina Alpiner 4 Automatic ($1,495) is a standout in this collection, reimagining the brand’s pioneering “4” concept for today’s audience. Introduced in 1938, the original Alpina 4 set the blueprint for what a sports watch should be—impact-resistant, non-magnetic, water-resistant, and made from stainless steel. The Alpiner 4 Automatic pays homage to these core features with its versatile 40mm stainless steel case, which is water resistant to 100 meters and engineered with shock resistance and anti-magnetic properties.

Visually, the Alpiner 4 is a seamless blend of rugged sportiness and sophisticated elegance. The bidirectional stainless steel bezel, featuring a red triangle at the 12 o’clock position, gives the watch a distinctive sporty aesthetic. In contrast, the sunray blue dial adds a touch of refined elegance, complemented beautifully by a stitched brown leather strap that makes the watch effortlessly transition from mountain trails to urban streets. It’s a design that’s not just about looking good—it’s about being ready for anything.

The Alpiner 4 Automatic is powered by the AL-525 movement, a Sellita SW200-based automatic Swiss calibre that’s well-regarded for its reliability. This movement features 26 jewels, with hacking and hand-winding capabilities, a date complication, and a power reserve of 38 hours. It beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, ensuring accurate timekeeping even in the most demanding conditions. This level of precision and dependability is exactly what you’d expect from a brand with Alpina’s storied history.

Founded in 1883 by Gottlieb Hauser, Alpina has long been a pioneer in the sports watch sector, characterized by an unwavering commitment to performance and adventure. With the Alpiner 4 Automatic, Alpina breathes new life into the iconic “4” concept, reminding us why they have always been at the forefront of sport watch innovation. Whether you’re an adventurer scaling new heights or simply someone with an appreciation for well-crafted timepieces, the Alpiner 4 is ready to take on every challenge you throw at it.

Crafted in Switzerland, this watch stays true to the Alpine spirit—a spirit that’s all about pushing boundaries, defying limits, and embracing the call of adventure. The Alpina Alpiner 4 Automatic is not just a watch; it’s a testament to 140 years of craftsmanship, innovation, and the pursuit of excellence. A timeless companion, ready for wherever your next adventure leads.
