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, this collection features a 44 mm polished steel case, a matt black dial with its oversized white luminescent hourmarkers, and a red triangle at the base of the direct-drive seconds hand. 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.
