Alpina's orange-and-black Diver Extreme bridges land and sea

The Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic borrows the bold geometry of Alpina's Extreme sports-watch family and reshapes it into a serious mechanical diver. Reference AL-525BO3VE6 uses a black triangular-patterned dial with high-contrast orange rehaut and rubber strap. The toothed ceramic bezel and pronounced crown guards help give it the look of a compact instrument.

Its 316L steel case spans 39 × 40.50 mm and stands 12.65 mm high. Inside, the automatic AL-525, based on the SW200, beats at 28,800 alternations per hour and supplies 38 hours of reserve. A 300-metre water-resistance rating and prominent lume support real dive-watch utility, while the Belgian list price is €1,995.
