Alpina Heritage Tropic-Proof Handwinding

With 142 years of history behind it, Alpina has a heritage that’s rich beyond imagination. One example of this is the Tropic-Proof, a quintessential Alpina piece from the mid-1960s that embodies the adventurer’s watch. Featuring an ultra-robust case by master casemakers François Borgel, a Swiss Made movement (that even back then boasted a two-day power reserve) and a design focusing on readability, it paved the way for the Alpina watches of today. Now, the brand has produced the most faithful of tributes: two versions of the piece with, as before, a black or white dial, a 34-millimetre steel case, Dauphine hands and a manual movement, mounted on an Alcantara strap.
