Pilot watch collectors can rejoice as another reputable Swiss manufacturer of watches creates a new Pilot watch for enthusiasts. The Alpina Startimer Pilot is a beautiful Pilot watch with a twist.

ALPINA – Startimer Pilot Collection

Alpina, former supplier of army pilot watches, has returned to its century-old heritage with the Startimer Pilot Collection. Comprising four models, two with three hands and a date, an in-house regulator and a chronograph, these re-interpretations meet the same requirements as in the past: precision, reliability, resistance and instant legibility. The 44 mm polished steel case, the matt black dial with its oversized white luminescent hourmarkers, and the red triangle at the base of the direct-drive seconds hand are hallmarks of every Alpina timepiece, now as in the past. For the launching of this latest model, limited to 8,888 watches, the brand has joined forces with two choice partners, Cessna Aviation and PrivatAir.
