Seastrong Extreme Solarmetre × Route du Rhum
Alpina celebrates the 13th Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe with the Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic “Route du Rhum” Edition, a robust timepiece inspired by the demands of offshore sailing. Its compact 39 x 40.5 mm steel case features a striking turquoise dial engraved with a map of Atlantic currents, reflecting the challenging route from Saint-Malo to Guadeloupe. A carbon bezel insert and 300-metre water resistance reinforce its extreme, adventure-ready character.
Maritime details add depth to the design, including a compass-inspired bidirectional bezel and the race route engraved on the caseback. The date window highlights the race’s 13th edition with a red “13”, while a textured turquoise and black rubber strap completes the look. Limited to 313 pieces, the Seastrong embodies Alpina’s spirit of resilience, exploration and performance.
