However, through a module that Alpina has designed and added there is a jumping hour function for the local time display. It has a 38-hour power reserve, a 4Hz operating speed and 26 jewels. This watch runs on a Sellita base movement which is pretty standard as movements go. Of course, the party piece of this watch, in particular, is related to the GMT display. I like this setup, it gives a cleaner look and makes for a more interesting spectacle than a simple GMT hand, though I do wonder whether it would prove to be as easily readable at a glance as a GMT hand. It also extends to the dial, where we find a GMT function subdued by a large disk on the dial which rotates as you might see on a vintage JLC Memovox.
Also, they create some smashing designs for the money they charge, and it’s precisely what they’ve done here with their latest model, the Startimer Pilot Heritage.Īs the name suggests, this watch draws on history for its design, the barrel-shaped case with polished chamfers is a good indicator of this. Alpina is a watch brand that we like here at WristReview, we like their sports watches which are well laid out and thoughtfully designed.
