The green, the dark blue and the beige dial options get an ice-blue counterpart.
Alpina, a subsidiary of the Citizen Group since 2016 – specializes in sports watches, while its sister brand Frederique Constant focuses on accessible luxury. Its core collections, the Startimer, Seastrong, and Alpiner, embody the adventurous spirit of aviation, sea exploration, and mountaineering. Within the Alpiner lineup, the Extreme series includes a chronograph, regulator, skeleton models, and various time-and-date variations. While the latest addition to the Alpiner Extreme Automatic series, in a compact 39mm case, doesn’t introduce groundbreaking changes, its ice-blue dial makes it worth a mention.
The new Alpiner Extreme Automatic is built for durability. It is housed in a 39mm x 40.5mm cushion-shaped stainless steel case with a mix of brushed and polished surfaces. It boasts 200m water resistance, a sapphire crystal to protect the dial, and a screw-down crown accented with a blue rubber ring for enhanced grip. The engraved, see-through case back adds modernity to its presentation.
The ice blue satin-finished dial features Alpina’s signature triangle pattern, framed by a blue outer ring with a minutes/seconds track. Applied silver-tone indices, filled with white lume, ensure readability, while polished silver hands – also luminescent – enhance visibility in low light. A red triangle counterweight on the seconds hand adds a sporty touch. The date window at 3 o’clock completes the functionality.
The watch is powered by the AL-525 automatic movement (based on the Sellita SW200, an alternative to the ETA 2824), which operates at 28,800 vibrations/hour and offers a 38-hour power reserve. The new Alpiner Extreme Automatic comes on a brushed and polished stainless steel bracelet secured with a folding buckle. The price is EUR 1,995.

I would really like Alpina to change the dial structure, it looks too busy. Tone down all the criss cross patterns, or take it away completely.
To me, ice blue dials always look great in photos, but don’t impress on the wrist. It pairs with nothing, and the hands tend to disappear.
Glad Alpina are coming back to earth with regard to size, however.
I’m so sick of negative reviews from people. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. Rolex just released the landweller with the same color dial only with a price tag of 30x as much. Change the level in this from alpine to AP or Rolex and I’m sure the opinion of this watch changes just as fast.
