help Alpina Startimer Pilot FAQ
Which movement is inside the Alpina Startimer Pilot Automatic?
A common current reference uses Alpina's AL-525 automatic caliber, based on the Sellita SW200. That version has 26 jewels, runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour, and provides about 38 hours of reserve.
Is the Startimer Pilot Automatic suitable for swimming?
The 41 mm AL-525BW4S26B reference is rated to 100 meters, which is adequate for ordinary swimming when its crown and seals are intact. It is not a dive watch, and its water resistance should be pressure-tested as the seals age.
Does the Alpina Startimer Pilot use sapphire crystal?
The 41 mm automatic model uses a scratch-resistant convex sapphire crystal. It also has a matte black dial, luminous white markers, and a date window at 6 o'clock.
How large does the Startimer Pilot wear?
Startimer Pilot references have appeared in several sizes, including 40, 41, and 44 mm cases. The current 41 mm steel model is 11.5 mm thick and uses a 21 mm lug width, so check the reference rather than relying on the collection name.
