The Alpina Heritage Tropic-Proof Handwinding AL-480S2H6 watch is inspired by the Tropic-Proof model from the 1960s. The case measures 34 mm, making it suitable for lovers of small retro watches. Its case size is faithful to the original models.
The Alpina AL-480S2H6 watch has a stainless steel case complemented by a light brown leather strap. Inside the case is the Swiss hand-wound mechanical AL-480 movement, based on a Peseux movement. The movement has 17 jewels, runs at a frequency of 28800 vibrations per hour and has a standard power reserve of 42 hours. The movement also has a "hacking" function, which stops the seconds hand when setting the time.
The white dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, which is highly resistant to scratches. The water resistance of this model is 30 m, so it can only withstand basic contact with water, such as hand washing.

Alpina is again a step higher for us, a step among traditional watch manufacturers who are characterized by something innovative. Alpina's history dates back to 1883. Nevertheless, it remains a modern brand and the proof is the new models with smartwatches. Alpina has several watchmaking patents and its own solutions: Flyback chronograph, Tourbillon and the perpetual calendar. The brand is very nice to us with its sporty approach.
Helveti.eu is an authorized dealer and specialist of the Alpina brand.
