Moreover, it allows travel enthusiasts to keep a close eye on the time at home essential when contacting friends and family, arranging meetings across different time zones or simply readjusting your biological clock at the end of a long journey. The introduction of these three new models with GMT function further enhances the value of the Alpiner Quartz collection. Its quartz technology gives it almost 4 years of precision time-keeping and also ensures that Alpina’s authentic Swiss-made timepieces are highly affordable without sacrificing the technology or finishes for which the brand is famous. The latest Alpiner Quartz GMT follows in the footsteps of its sporting predecessors. The Alpina 4 collection, created in 1938, incorporated elements that are now globally recognised, some 80 years on, as the essential features of an “outdoor” watch. Indeed, it established the basic principles of the sports watch.

With its anti-magnetic, anti-shock and water-resistant qualities and stainless steel case, it was more than a simple watch. In 1933, exactly 50 years after Alpina was founded, the fledgling Swiss company launched its now legendary design, the “Block Uhr”. With two choices of dial colour and bracelet, the Alpina Alpiner Quartz GMT is available to purchase from 895 euros. The existing range, launched in 2019, has been updated to include three new models, each featuring a GMT function in the form of a central hand alongside the hour, minutes, seconds and date displays.
