A watch for extremes
The event is one where the very best skiers and snowboarders will be pushing their limits. To help them on their way, Alpina has designed a watch that echoes the essence of their sport – extreme.
The Alpiner Extreme Automatic Freeride World Tour 2023 is right there where it belongs, in the realm of mountains, outdoor sports, and extreme conditions. Focusing on the essentials (hours, minutes, seconds and date), the timepiece features an automatic caliber beating at 4Hz (28,800 vph) and comes in a chunky 41 x 42.5mm cushion format.
To ensure optimum readability, the Alpiner Extreme Automatic Freeride World Tour 2023 sports white luminous hand and hour markers atop a black dial bearing the Freeride World Tour logo at 6 o’clock. The case is sun-brushed – the wisest choice for a timepiece that by its very nature will be exposed to bumps and scratches. Similar thinking has resulted in a rubber strap ready to deal with slips, extreme temperatures, and the most unexpected circumstances. Located at 3 o’clock, the crown has been fitted with a rubber grip – a vital detail making it easy for gloved riders to operate.
Beneath the scratchproof, glareproof sapphire crystal, Alpina has indulged in a historic nod to its emblem: the dial and seconds hand counterweight echo its legendary triangle logo, symbolising the Alpine summits for which the watch is designed.
