For years, Alpina’s Startimer Pilot model has represented affordable luxury in the popular category of aviation-inspired watches. The new Startimer Pilot Quartz GMT, one of the watches the brand will showcase at the event, brings even more affordability as it is equipped with a Swiss quartz movement. Outwardly, all the famed aviation design codes remain: for good readability, the watch’s dial features oversized, luminous Arabic numerals and a red-and-white GMT hand. The local time and the time in a second time zone are indicated either a two tone dial — with a 24-hour scale contrasted to indicate day and night time — or on an all-black dial. The GMT function can be adjusted with the crown.
The 42-mm case is available in stainless steel or in black PVD-treated steel. To make the watch even more individual, wearers can combine their case of choice with different colored nylon straps. Prices start at 550 Swiss francs (about $570).
Will it be available with a Type B dial?
Nice watch
