Alpina’s Alpiner 4 Collection: Six Affordable Swiss Sports Watches
In 1938, Alpina launched the original “Alpina 4,” which the brand claimed was the “first modern Swiss sports watch.” That vintage timepiece was the inspiration for the sporty Alpiner 4 collection, released by Alpina in 2014, which includes a chronograph and a GMT watch, both powered by automatic Swiss mechanical movements and priced well under $5,000.The original Alpina 4 received its numerical name from the concept behind it: it was designed to combine the four features that Alpina founder Gottlieb Hauser considered essential for any sports watch to be called a sports watch �� antimagnetic properties, shock-resistance, water-resistance, and a case made of stainless steel.
