Alpina Startimer 40mm Series

[@joed.twyman6355]

I guess these are the mechanical movements. Never said. I was looking 2 years ago, found the 42mm startimer white dial Quartz for $160.oo. Out of my price range on the mechanicals. Nicely done.

Putting my money down this morning! 👍 👍 👍

You won't be disapointed

Have the 44mm of the navy dial with rose gold plated case, and love it! I would like to see the 40mm. Love the classic white dial as well.

[@alwoo5645]

Rose gold looks really nice you recommend it I quess?

[@jayjay9932]

I love Alpina, so underrated and under the radar. They should offer a reduced Startimer chrono also.

[@halifaxwatchcompany7728]

It will be interesting to see what they do this year, hard to say if they will do a smaller then their 42mm chrono but if they did I think it would be a huge hit.

I bought an Alpina Startimer Pilot Limited Edition in black. Mine has a glass back where I can see the movement, included a small jet plane and I only paid $450 from Facebook Marketplace. I can not afford a IWC Ceramic 44 mm Fliegler Pilot watch. I simply love my watch!

Just managed to order one of these to the UK. Could only find one 40mm on the whole internet! But can't wait to get it.

[@bifflee3603]

I got mine from iguana located in Spain delivered to the UK, amazing watch

[@YeCannyDaeThat]

@@bifflee3603 same. Love it.

[@GODSPEEDseven]

Wow! Man these are superb! Very nice dimensions, I love the hands and red highlights so much. A watch I would be pretty interested in seeing in a future video is the Alpina Regulator...

[@halifaxwatchcompany7728]

That is high on my list, didn't help Alpina didn't release much info with the watch but I have some history on it now. It is in the pipeline :)

[@boldaslion281]

Do you have any more of the blue dial versions?

[@tombousquet2819]

Thank you for you video. Do you think the lume will last all night to be able to read in morning the time ?

[@yash595]

What is the lug to lug distance on these

[@bifflee3603]

47mm

[@Rch_P]

Anyone know if these crystals have at AR coating on both side of the crystal? I hear Alpina does this with other models and that it sometimes gets scuffed on the exterior.

[@itamaradio]

Wow, I can't believe you are the only ones with those watches. I was looking for them for days. Will you have the black dial steel version (no PVD) sometime? Thanks.

[@halifaxwatchcompany7728]

We got very lucky to get these. I will try and get them again but where they aren't in the North American collection I'm not sure if I'll be able to get them again anytime soon, if at all.

[@itamaradio]

@@halifaxwatchcompany7728 Thanks

[@ep7164]

I’ve just discovered this great new model : thank you for the video !!

[@martykatz5823]

Now that Christmas has passed, what is the availability of these? Did they decide to release them generally to US and Canada if you know?

[@halifaxwatchcompany7728]

So far no news on getting anymore of the 40mm stuff, maybe for the spring or summer but I am still waiting on details on anything new for this year.

[@RJtoon1]

Beautiful. A week ago I got the 42 mm start timer quartz chronograph and do you have any idea who makes the quartz movements for this company? Also if I ever require servicing would it be possible to ship it to you from Saskatchewan?

[@halifaxwatchcompany7728]

I am not sure who makes their Quartz Movements, a lot of the higher end brands use Rhonda Quartz for their chronos but I couldn't say for sure. And you can always contact us for service, we don't cover warranty for products we didn't sell but I am always able to help even if it's just contact information. And anything outside of warranty we can take care of as well.

[@RJtoon1]

@@halifaxwatchcompany7728 OK that’s good to know like for example if I break the crystal or something or if a pusher on the chronograph gets stuck for example hypothetically, Hopefully these are things I could get fixed if I had to

[@RagnarHoff]

Actually, this is a great cheaper alternative to Longines Spirit.

[@sarsiemanuel9229]

Yes! The Alpina’s design is actually better and more creative. It’s the winner also at half the price

[@halifaxwatchcompany7728]

Agreed, they are a great brand at very reasonable prices.

[@lambroshilas8080]

are you sure those are 40mm diametre and not 44mm?

[@halifaxwatchcompany7728]

Yes, their original collection was 44, these new ones are 40mm.
