Alpina Alpiner Comtesse Quartz

In 2023, Alpina is unveiling three new variations of its Alpiner Comtesse Quartz women’s sports watch featuring new dials in brown, peppermint green, and lilac. Housed in a steel case that’s as robust as its 34-millimetre diameter is graceful, these quartz-powered watches complete with date window are the ideal companions for women looking forward to a lively, exciting summer whether they’re in town, at work, playing sport, or on holiday.

Back in 1883, the intrepid mountaineers at the origins of the Alpina watchmaking firm were already hard at work designing watches that could accompany them everywhere on their adventures. It was important for these timepieces to be watertight, anti-magnetic, and impact-resistant. In 1963, a grand old lady of watchmaking benefited from these specifications to become Alpina’s first women’s sports watch: the Comtesse, notable for having what at the time was the smallest, strongest automatic movement ever: the Caliber 362, complete with a bidirectional rotor.

The Comtesse went on to become part of the Alpina collection; now known as the Alpiner Comtesse Quartz, the watch is celebrating its sixtieth anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, it will be released in three all-new shades heralding a summer devoted to sport and elegance.
