ALPINA – Horological Smartwatch

ALPINA – Horological Smartwatch Blue Dial NEW

The new blue Alpina Horological Smartwatch

Geneva, September 7th 2016

In 2015, Alpina Watches introduced the first Horological Smartwatch collection, completely “horological”. With this innovation, Alpina established a new set of goals in terms of revolutionizing the smartwatch world. More than a gadget, this watch offers the most ground-breaking technology as well as the undisputable Swiss quality commanded by a continuously very connected and demanding user.

Today, Alpina launches a new aesthetical execution of this timepiece, maintaining the technological feats and Swiss excellence all the while presenting a more casual, subtle look in comparison to its full-steel predecessor. The new Alpina Horological Smartwatch is proposed in an elegant execution featuring a polished and brushed stainless steel 44 mm case combined to a classy navy sunray dial combined with a genuine brown-colored leather strap with red lining asides, turning this original sporty watch collection into a more well-dressed timepiece.

The navy sunray dial with beige luminous indexes displays central hours and minute hands, the “smart” counter is positioned at 6 o’clock. The small red hand indicates the date during the activity tracking mode and will point out the moon during your sleep tracking mode, while the small steel hand shows you the percentage of your activity or sleep goals achieved. One of the main assets of this model is that the battery life is 2+ years. The Alpina Horological Smartwatch is not a device, no need to charge it every day.

Melissa Arnott first American woman conquered Mount Everest without oxygen

ALPINA Watches ambassadress
Melissa Arnot becomes
the first American woman to summit Mount Everest without the use of supplemental oxygen

Professional American climber and Alpina Watches Ambassador, Melissa Arnot became the first American woman to summit the Everest and survive the descent without supplemental oxygen on May 23rd, 2016. Climbing the 29,035 foot peak's northeast ridge from Tibet, the expedition marked the sixth Everest summit for Melissa Arnot.

Melissa Arnot has made her life about exploring the beautiful mountains of the world. She is passionate about climbing and pushing her own limits. A professional mountain guide, working internationally since 2004, Melissa has stood on top of many of the worlds most stunning peaks alongside clients who reached their dreams thanks to the alpinist. It is the motivation of her customers which inspires her to push herself and achieve her own goals.

Melissa had been trying to conquer the Everest without oxygen for years. She came incredibly close in 2013 when she and her climbing partner, Tshering Dorje Sherpa, made it to 27,900 feet, where they encountered an unresponsive Sherpa.

They remained to assist him for an hour. By the time they continued their ascent, Melissa was too cold to safely proceed without supplemental oxygen. She also travelled to Nepal to attempt an ascent in 2015, but the catastrophic April 25th earthquake ended the climbing season early.

On May 23rd, 2016 Melissa Arnot has finally achieved the goals she had set herself and been working hard on for years.

She commented on her ascent "I never anticipated that I would be lucky enough to summit once, let alone six times. Climbing Everest without supplemental oxygen has been a goal of mine for a long time. When you succeed at reaching your goal, it makes you reflect on the hard days, the work and lessons I've learned along the way. I'm incredibly fortunate to have this experience."

Ascending to the 29,029-foot summit of Everest requires supplemental oxygen for the vast majority of climbers. Less than 200 out of 4,000 climbers who have climbed the Everest have done it without breathing bottled oxygen. Above 26,000 feet, in what's known as "the death zone" the human body can no longer acclimatize to the altitude. In order to function at this elevation, most people need to use tanks of supplemental oxygen in order to maintain circulation, stay warm, and maintain mental and motor skills.

In 1988, Lydia Bradley, from New Zealand, became the first woman to climb the Everest without oxygen. Since then, six other women have achieved this, including Carla Perez, from Ecuador. Arnot, considered America's best high-altitude female climber, has added her name to that elite's list, which makes her the seventh woman ever to climb Everest without supplemental oxygen.

Melissa Arnot has been wearing the Alpina Horological Smartwatch during the challenge to monitor her activity and sleep. She commented "I use the Horological Smartwatch as a safety tool in the mountains. Knowing my own data helps me better understand what I need to do to push myself to be better."

Her next challenge?

Melissa Arnot will be attempting to climb the highest peak in all 50 states in 50 days this summer. She will embark on the 50 Peaks challenge from approximately June 30th to August 20th, 2016.

ALPINA – SEASTRONG DIVER 300 Chronograph Big Date

ALPINA – SEASTRONG DIVER 300 Chronograph BIG DATE Quartz NEW

With the SEASTRONG collection, Alpina Watches has made diving watch history since the 1960's when the Seastrong "10" was already capable of reaching depths of 200m/660ft. In 2015 Alpina revealed the Seastrong Diver 300 Chronograph Big Date Collection and today, with the introduction of the new Diver 300 Black variant, Alpina proposes an all black execution of its successful professional diving big date chronograph. A highly recognizable diving watch due to its all black color code and its oversized red minute hand.

Serious about diving, the Alpina Seastrong Diver 300 Chronograph Big Date is a professional diving watch. Everything about this model is designed to cope with the most extreme conditions any professional diver could ever encounter, starting with water resistance to no less than 300m/100ft.

The watch has been designed with all the necessary features that allow owners to get the information they need, when they need it, for a safe dive.

The aluminum, unidirectional, turning bezel, turns in just one direction: anti-clockwise. With this "fail-safe" feature the number of elapsed minutes can never be accidentally decreased, only increased. In addition, the 60 minutes markers on the black bezel are luminous, as are the dial indexes, which perfectly contrast against the matt black dial. The watch's hands are luminous for maximum readability in low visibility conditions, and the minute's hand is oversized to instantly read diving time.

Built-in features that are relevant to the professional diver include a 44 mm black PVD coated, cushion shaped, stainless steel case, screw-in crown and case-back, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a black water-resistant rubber strap. The beautiful engraving of the Alpina diving symbol on the case-back provides for an additional and distinctive aesthetic feature.
