THE ALPINA SEASTRONG DIVER HERITAGE

Almost half a century after its first appearance, the Alpina "Seastrong 10" Super Compressor diving watch finds its way back into the Alpina collection as the "Seastrong Diver Heritage". More than a replica, a modern interpretation of a Swiss watchmaking classic.

The Story
"When the water-resistant watch came on the market 15 years ago, some people thought it was just another crazy fashion or a sales gimmick. After all it is not absolutely necessary to wear your watch in the bath …" According to the German specialist magazine Uhrmacher-Woche.

In the year these watches first appeared, 1942, things looked very different. Women and men would value their wristwatch as an almost indispensable companion in all situations of life. Naturally, contact with water could not be ruled out. The technicians of the Swiss watch manufacturer Alpina therefore saw this as a challenge. Their dealers and their customers wanted wristwatches with water-resistant cases. Following several years of development work, the sporty and functional "Alpina 4" was therefore presented for the first time in 1938. The numeral stood for four impressive quality characteristics. Firstly, the timepiece had antimagnetic properties. An "Incabloc" impact protection device protected the delicate pivots of the balance wheel from breakage. Thirdly, the highly resilient case was made of stainless steel. Finally came the fourth and particularly important argument for purchasing the Alpina 4", in the form of a "Geneva" type water-resistant case. Its specially designed crown was patented. In spite of its outstanding qualities, however, this of course could not yet be described as a genuine diving watch. The presentation of such a watch by Alpina would have to wait a further 30 years.

In this way, we learn from the annals of the art of watchmaking, the era of this type of wristwatch began. Not least because of the underwater equipment available, the pressure-tightness initially only extended to ten bar. Shortly afterwards instruments for professional use came on the scene, which easily withstood depths of up to 200 metres.

Because air supply is always limited, time spent under water is extremely precious. To ensure the hours, minutes and seconds can be easily read, and as a reminder to divers to return to the surface in good time, product designers not only provided their diving wristwatches with striking illuminated dials and hands, but also incorporated a useful rotating bezel. For safety reasons, the rotating bezel can now exclusively be turned in an anticlockwise direction. In this way the time for remaining under water as displayed by the watch can only be reduced in the event of an accidental change, never increased. Because the inventor company had placed their unilaterally positioned rotating bezel under patent protection in the 1950s, their competitors either had to be content with copies that could be displaced on both sides, or proceed in a completely new direction.

This is precisely the option chosen by Ervin Piquerez SA (EPSA), based in Bassecourt in Switzerland. In 1956 the experienced watchmaking company presented a design of a new kind (which was therefore also patented). As usual, the back was also screwed together with the middle. In addition, however, the "Super Compressor", water-resistant to twenty bar, boasted a truly innovative special feature: an integrated spring mechanism prevented compression and the damage that this could cause to the rubber sealing ring when the case was being screwed down. But the name "Compressor" was also associated with a further characteristic: increasing diving depth and the increasing water pressure associated therewith press the two parts of the case ever more firmly together. The outstanding features of this newcomer also included two crowns, one for winding and adjusting the hands, the other for deliberately adjusting the internal diving time rotating ring in both directions. The sophisticated design really made sense. Accidental actions and incorrect operation of the "device for individual preselection of a diving time" (as specified by the relevant standard) were almost impossible. A third advantage consisted in a relatively flat design of the watches, which was both functional and elegant.

No wonder that the EPSA has been able to secure many well known watch manufacturers as its customers over the years. One of these customers – closing the circle, as it were – was Alpina. In 1967 the cooperative brought its highly regarded "Alpina 10" on to the market. The "Super Compressor" case, water-resistant to up to twenty bar, housed the 572C automatic calibre. The extremely pressure-tight "Super Compressor" case is instantly recognisable from the outside by the grid pattern on both crowns, and on the inner side of the case back by the stylised depiction of a diving helmet.

The 2016 Seastrong Diver Heritage

Just 50 years later, the highly regarded diving watch is back in the Alpina Collection, this time as the "Seastrong Diver Heritage". Its illustrious predecessor from the 1960s is recalled in two operating elements in the right case flank and the rotating ring which was (at that time, for good reason) shifted into the inside of the case. With the help of the crown, the rotating ring can be quickly and easily adjusted at "2". The 60 minute division is also useful for non divers. For example, the arrow can be positioned so that the approaching hour hand indicates when parking time is running out. Thanks to the modern case design, the classic stainless steel case (now increased to a diameter of 42 millimetres) with its engraved screwed case back resists water pressure up to 30 bar, corresponding to a diving depth of 300 m/1000ft.

The modern AL-525 automatic calibre ensures timekeeping. This is the equally reliable, robust and accurate SW 200 from Sellita. Alpina has refined it with its customary attention to detail, giving the ball bearing mounted rotor the asymmetric form signature to the brand. The balance wheel completes 28,800 vibrations per hour. Fully wound, it has 38 hours of power reserve. Choosing a dial style may proof difficult. Admirers of the retro look will go for the traditional light-dark contrast design. Those who love elegant understatement will prefer the exclusively dark option.

ALPINA – Full Black Alpiner 4 Manufacture Flyback Chronograph
















ALPINA ALPINER Manufacture 4 Full Black Flyback Chronograph NEW

With the launch of its first in-house Manufacture Flyback Chronograph at Baselworld 2015, Alpina celebrated an important première in its 132 years history. With its AL-760 patented "Direct Flyback Technology" automatic flyback caliber, Alpina not only introduced its first in-house chronograph caliber, but also innovated and ingeniously simplified the flyback and return to zero mechanism. As a 2016 pre-Baselworld novelty preview, Alpina is now proud to present its new full black AL-760 Alpiner 4 Manufacture Flyback Chronograph.

With its its striking appearance, the new "Full Black" Alpiner 4 Manufacture Flyback Chronograph remains true to its successful predecessor, but demonstrates a more aggressive and distinctive personality of its own. The new model features an intense black PVD coated case made out of stainless steel. The black dial with beige luminous pearl black applied indexes, matching the luminous beige hands, provides a unique and powerful design. This horological masterpiece exhibits the contemporary essence of the Alpina Flyback Chronograph design, and integrates the 4 features of the "Alpina 4" sport watch:

1) Antimagnetic
2) Water-resistant
3) Antishock
4) Stainless

All this and much more goes to make up the new "Alpiner 4 Manufacture Flyback Chronograph". Its new look evokes dynamism and clarity. Like all the Alpina watches, this one too was shaped into a precision instrument, which features ergonomically shaped chronograph push-pieces, screw-down winding and setting crown, and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. It can withstand a water pressure of up to 10 atmospheres, equivalent to a diving depth of 100 metres. Following a long tradition, the screwed steel case back is decorated with the familiar Alpina logo.

Looking at the right-hand side of the case, connoisseurs will immediately notice that the crown and push-piece are positioned on a straight line, despite the calibre AL-760's modular construction. To finish this watch, an elegant black genuine leather strap with beige stitching ensures safety and comfort on the wrist.

The Flyback Chronograph


Generally, chronographs of all kinds are based on perfectly standard watch movements, notably in a Lépine design with a small-seconds hand opposite the winding and setting crown. On wristwatches, this hand appears in a sub-dial at 9 o'clock. Watchmakers can mount this sophisticated mechanism, which enables time intervals to be measured without stopping the main movement, immediately under the dial or at the back of the watch. The position chosen has no influence on the stop function. Traditionally, the industry recognises two different modes of construction of a chronograph mechanism: integral and modular, fixed to the watch movement. The latter has the advantage of offering greater flexibility, as it can be fitted, after appropriate adaptation, to a wide variety of hand-wound and automatic calibers. Furthermore, the chronograph assembly can be pre-mounted and tested independently of the "power unit" used, and if necessary even completely replaced. This saves time and hence also costs.

The new AL-760 Manufacture Automatic Flyback Chronograph caliber

Seventy-seven years after inventing the concept of the sport watch, Alpina once more pushed the boundaries by creating an entirely in-house developed, produced and assembled chronograph equipped with a Flyback Function.

Over three years went by in the Swiss mountains between the initial concept and readiness for production. For the new Al-760 caliber the technicians decided to adopt a modular construction based on the reliable and robust AL-710 caliber, which features a balance frequency of 4 Hertz, centre seconds and a date hand at 6 o'clock.

The powerful Al-760 movement, comprising 233 components (from which only 96 components are necessary for the flyback module) with a rotor operating in both directions and a 38-hour power reserve, is particularly suitable for a drive mounted at the front, immediately below the under-dial work. The ingenious construction of the chronograph mechanism is apparent not least from the fact that Alpina was able to create it from only 96 parts. Critically minded contemporaries may suggest at this point that such a small number of parts must imply loss of quality. This is by no means the case. On the contrary, the development team acted in accordance with a wise saying from Antoine de Saint Exupéry: "Perfection is attained, not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away." As an adventurous pilot, the French poet knew what he was talking about. In the particular case of a highly complex chronograph mechanism, in which the assemblies have to work together to perfection, keeping to the vital minimum really makes sense. And it adheres to the dictum that nothing can break down and fail if it is not there in the first place!

Actuating the chronograph push-piece above the crown for the first time demonstrates how thoroughly the functional relationships have been thought through. Protection against errors of manipulation is clearly perceptible in the resistance felt on starting. Nevertheless, the pressing action is extremely smooth. Of course, the same is true of the subsequent stopping and resetting operations.

An unmistakeable characteristic of high-quality chronographs is a column wheel rotating on bearings to control the three start, stop and reset functions. In conventional mechanisms, this component has several columns. In contrast, the calibre AL-760 has no standard-type column wheel, but a star-shaped one. Together with the operating lever, which is controlled by the start/stop push-piece, this component is responsible for the exceptionally smooth operation of the mechanism.

The absolutely essential part in all chronographs is the clutch. Its function is to establish the connection between the power source, that is the watch movement, and the gearing, or under-dial work, when required. To achieve this end, watchmakers are acquainted with three different designs: the classic horizontal wheel coupling, the oscillating pinion, also traditional, and lastly the modern vertical friction clutch. Symbolic of the ingenuity of the AL-760's designers is a new type of swivelling component with two toothed pinions. When the button is pressed, it connects the two "storeys" together. At the lower level, in the watch movement proper, it takes up the rotation of the centre seconds and conveys this, via the corresponding upper component, to the actuating mechanism to turn the chronograph hands. At the same time, the lower central seconds also drives the seconds hand at 9 o'clock, which turns continuously in unison. The rotations of the chronograph hand are "recorded" by the 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock.

Repeating pressing of the start/stop push-piece causes slight pivoting of the clutch lever. The chronograph stops. At the same moment, for perfect legibility, a small locking lever ensures that the two stopping hands pause exactly at the last position chosen. If desired, this stop operation can be repeated as often as wished with the upper push-piece. Specialists know this as a cumulative split. The chronograph will not be reset to zero until the push-piece at 4 o'clock is actuated. Here again, the ingeniously contrived construction of this newcomer among chronographs is evident.

The "DIRECT IN-LINE" Flyback Function

As a recognized specialist in pilots' watches, Alpina equipped the calibre AL-760 with a split-seconds function. Also known by the name of "flyback", this function was invented in the 1930s to make it easier for pilots to use this most essential of instruments. With this function, pressing the push-piece just once starts the timer again from zero. In this case, the push-piece at 4 o'clock and its associated mechanism cause three tasks to be performed very quickly one after the other: first, the clutch is disengaged; secondly, the chronograph is reset to zero by means of the single-piece hammer, whose sloping surfaces turn the two zero reset hearts so that the hands position themselves vertically again; and thirdly, the clutch engages once more as soon as the push-piece is released. The highly complex sequence of movements involved in this case proceeds directly from the push-piece to the clutch lever. This instant type of flyback is another instance of the unique details of construction of the new calibre AL-760. And last, but not least noteworthy, are the carefully designed shape and the mode of attachment, not by a force-fit method, of the chronograph module to the basic watch movement. It achieves a reliable and, above all, energy-saving connection between the two mechanisms, both of them produced in-house. And to conclude, the very legible date hand at 6 o'clock avoids the unsightly well through which the date disc rotating on the front of the basic movement must be read on modular chronographs of conventional construction.

ALPINA – StarTimer PILOT Chronograph BIG DATE “201st Squadron” Edition

ALPINAStarTimer PILOT Chronograph BIG DATE “201st Squadron” Limited Edition NEW

Celebration of the 70th Anniversary
of the Return of the 201st Squadron

On Wednesday 18th November 2015 at 2 pm at Mexico’s Air Base No.1 in Santa Lucía, Pachuca, we celebrated the 70th Anniversary of the Return of the Pilots of the Mexican Expeditionary Air Force’s 201st Squadron, known and recognised worldwide as “The Aztec Eagles” thanks to their participation in the Second World War.

In 1945, the 290 volunteer soldiers who travelled to the Pacific War Combat Zone were between 20 and 22 years old. They are now aged 90 to 94 years old and describe themselves as happy to have served their country.

The Second World War Veterans came together to receive a well-deserved tribute from the Mexican Air Force and also to commemorate their companions who died in the performance of their duty. 

In recognition of their services, the surviving members of the unit were presented with a 201st Squadron Limited Edition watch made by the Swiss brand, Alpina, during a ceremony presided over by Captain Manuel Reyna Garza of the 1st FAAMA Group.

The watch was designed to commemorate this key date in the history of Mexico, and a plaque was created depicting an eagle holding in its claws the distinctive tricolour triangle that is the symbol of the Mexican Expeditionary Air Force. The watch’s back features a P-47, the aircraft used during the fighting.

The ceremony was attended by representatives of the Mexican Association of Second World War Veterans from the 201st Squadron of the Mexican Expeditionary Air Force, by General Ernesto Púres Monroy of the Mexican Air Force, and by Alpina executives and members of the specialist press.

At the end of the commemoration, a toast was made in the presence of the Veterans and their families, all of whom were deeply moved by their memories of their deceased companions.

On 18 November 1945, half a million men, women and children in Mexico City alone turned out to welcome the combatant’s home along a route from Buenavista Station to the city’s Zócalo square. These great heroes are today remembered at the Mexican Air Force Museum.
