What to know
The Watch Angels x Alpina Startimer Pilot Chronograph IFR is an announced 300-piece edition with delivery currently scheduled for December 2026. Its pre-order window now closes on 30 November, according to the official project page. The listed price is CHF 4,295 including local VAT, import duties and shipping.

An automatic Sellita SW531b column-wheel chronograph powers the timing and central UTC displays. A separate mechanical system within the bezel and surrounding case components interprets holding-pattern information entered by the wearer. The blue-dial watch has a ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal and 100-metre water resistance. This profile concerns forthcoming delivery of a previously announced watch, rather than a new November unveiling.
