This Swiss made automatic pilot watch pairs a 40mm polished 316L stainless steel case with a deep matt black dial, its velvety grained finish set against white applied indexes charged with blue-green luminescence for instant legibility in any light. The oversized aviator crown and red-tipped seconds hand are drawn straight from cockpit instrumentation, while the black Cordura strap with red topstitching keeps the tool-watch character honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eInside beats the Alpina Calibre AL-525, an automatic movement built on a La Joux-Perret base — one of Switzerland's most respected movement manufactures. Running at 28,800 vibrations per hour with 24 jewels, it delivers a 68-hour power reserve, meaning the Startimer keeps perfect time from Friday evening to Monday morning off the wrist. An anti-reflective convex sapphire crystal, a screw-down caseback pressed with Alpina's aviator motif, and 100 metres (10 ATM) of water resistance complete a watch engineered to Alpina's founding creed: precision instruments for those who push further, on the ground or in the skies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAt 40mm across and 11.5mm tall, it wears with genuine versatility — rugged enough for the weekend, refined enough under a cuff — and functions are kept deliberately essential: hours, minutes, seconds, and a date window at 6 o'clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003ePlease note that the caseback pictured will not necessarily be in the same profile as the watch received as the watches are hand assembled individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat we love about the Alpina Startimer Pilot Automatic\u003c\/strong\u003e AL-525BW4S36 is the rare pilot watch that delivers true Swiss manufacture credentials — a La Joux-Perret-based calibre with a 68-hour reserve — at a price where most rivals are running off-the-shelf movements with half the reserve. It's 140 years of Alpina's alpine sports heritage in its purest, most wearable form, and in our view the smartest entry point into serious Swiss aviation watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShips in 1-3 Business Days from Sydney with Australia Post Express.
