Alpina’s latest release, the Alpiner Extreme Automatic Titanium, brings rugged sophistication to the wrist with its first-ever use of lightweight, grade 2 titanium. Slimmed down to a sweet-spot 39mm case size, this titanium edition is all about balance—tough enough for the trail, refined enough for the boardroom. At just $2,695, it’s an unapologetic tool watch that doesn’t skimp on design or durability.
The Alpina cushion-shaped case integrates seamlessly with a new titanium bracelet, featuring brushed H-links and a push-button folding clasp that’s both secure and cleanly executed. With 200 meters of water resistance, a screw-down crown, and an engraved case back, this is a dive into the deep end of everyday wearability.
The satin silver dial stands out with its geometric triangle motif, a signature of the Alpiner line. High-polish black mother-of-pearl hour markers and white lume offer sharp legibility, while a red-tipped seconds hand adds just the right amount of energy. Inside, the AL-525 automatic movement keeps things ticking reliably, with a 38-hour power reserve and a 4Hz beat rate—hidden behind a solid case back to keep the weight down and the robustness up.
Alpina’s move to titanium is a strong step forward, giving its heritage sports watch lineup a futuristic edge. Lightweight, stealthy, and thoughtfully built, the new Alpiner Extreme Automatic Titanium isn’t just a watch—it’s a statement in form and function.
