Alpina Alpiner Extreme Skeleton Automatic

Taking perhaps the most unexpected turn imaginable, the Alpiner Extreme is back with an all-new face: a dial- less model revealing the Swiss Made mechanics within. Two versions with a polished steel case—39 x 40.5 mm for the first time—give this timepiece an even more technical, horological style. The first is made entirely from steel, including the case and strap, while the second features a blue-clad rubber strap, crown and flange.

There’s a strange tradition dictating that sports watches and skeleton watches, and indeed strength and refinement, should be opposites. The two new Alpiner Extreme Skeleton Automatic watches prove otherwise.
