Alpina is the Official Timekeeper – Destination Guadeloupe of the 13th Route du Rhum, the single-handed transatlantic race from Saint-Malo in France to Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. \u003cstrong\u003eThis edition is limited to 513 pieces worldwide. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe brushed and polished stainless steel cushion case measures 37.5 x 38.9mm and is 10.19mm thick, framed by a carbon fibre bezel insert. The matte, translucent black dial has a triangle pattern and a turquoise inner ring with a white minute track, which brings in the colours of Caribbean water. Blue luminous accents on the seconds hand and the 12 o’clock triangle add a sailing-instrument feel. The solid steel case back is engraved with the official race route. It’s fitted to a textured black rubber strap with a steel pin buckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eInside is the AL-140 Swiss solar quartz movement, developed by La Joux-Perret. It charges from natural or artificial light and runs for up to 10 months in complete darkness, so it never needs a battery change and doesn’t stop when it’s left in a drawer. It shows hours, minutes, seconds and the date at 3 o’clock, and it’s water resistant to 100 metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a Swiss solar watch for sailors, swimmers and anyone who wants an active everyday watch with a story behind it. The compact cushion case suits smaller and larger wrists alike, and it looks as right on the deck as it does at the bar afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat we love about this watch:\u003c\/strong\u003e The AL-140BT3AE6 is a real collector’s piece without a collector’s fuss. Turn it over and the whole race route from Saint-Malo to Guadeloupe is engraved on the back, which is a lovely detail on a watch you can swim in and never need to wind or re-battery. With only 513 made, it’s a small piece of ocean-racing history you can actually wear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50757721424058,"sku":"AL-140BT3AE6","price":2877.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/3781\/5994\/files\/al-140bt3ae6.png?v=1792139970","url":"https:\/\/starbuy.com.au\/en-nz\/products\/alpina-extreme-solarmetre-route-du-rhum-al-140bt3ae6-limited-edition-watch","provider":"Starbuy Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
