The sea is one of the greatest challenges for watch brands. In particular, great ocean crossings have always captured the imagination of enthusiasts and fuelled the competitive spirit of both the crews and the watch brands involved. This is precisely the case with\u00a0Alpina\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic<\/strong>, dedicated to\u00a0the Route du Rhum\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 a watch designed to brave the ocean\u2019s waves in this fascinating race, for which Alpina is the official timekeeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Route du Rhum is a transatlantic sailing race set to start on 1 November, taking the boats from Saint-Malo, in Brittany, to Pointe-\u00e0-Pitre, in French Guadeloupe, in the Caribbean. A crossing that, in 2022, Frenchman Charles Caudrelier completed in 6 days, 19 hours, 47 minutes and 25 seconds \u2013 a record that remains unbroken to this day. Amongst others, French skipper and brand ambassador\u00a0Eric P\u00e9ron\u00a0<\/strong>will be attempting to beat this record, wearing an Alpina watch on his wrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ALPINA SEASTRONG DIVER EXTREME AUTOMATIC X ROUTE DU RHUM: CASE AND BEZEL<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Turning to\u00a0the Alpina Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic x Route du Rhum<\/strong>, unveiled by the brand at the recent\u00a0Geneva Watch Days<\/strong>, the watch builds on one of Alpina\u2019s established collections. Despite its strong mountain heritage, Alpina has supported pioneering explorations of the seabed with the\u00a0Seastrong<\/strong>\u00a0collection since the 1960s. This range has evolved over the years to its current form, which is fully realised in the watch created for the Route du Rhum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Alpina<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The watch features a three-piece stainless steel\u00a0case<\/strong>\u00a0with a classic, solid and compact cushion-shaped profile. It measures 39 x 40.50 mm and is 13.40 mm thick \u2013 wearable and compact dimensions for a diver\u2019s watch that makes performance one of its defining features. It is, in fact,\u00a0water-resistant to 30 bar<\/strong>, as befits a watch designed to withstand\u00a0the\u00a0<\/strong>rigours of\u00a0the\u00a0<\/strong>ocean, both above and below\u00a0the\u00a0<\/strong>surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Alpina<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The case features an attractive alternation of polished and satin-finished surfaces, creating an interesting contrast with the\u00a0carbon bezel<\/strong>. The latter, a bidirectional rotating bezel, features the four cardinal points at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o\u2019clock, along with the 360-degree scale typical of\u00a0compasses<\/strong>, reinforcing the adventurous spirit\u00a0of the Alpina Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic<\/strong>. The case back is screw-down, as is the large crown, and features a beautiful engraving depicting the\u00a0Route du Rhum\u00a0<\/strong>course, the regatta\u2019s logo and the limited edition number, which is 313 pieces. This number pays homage to the 13th edition of the sailing race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE TURQUOISE DIAL<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

However, it is\u00a0the dial\u00a0<\/strong>that gives\u00a0the\u00a0<\/strong>Alpina Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic x Route du Rhum its distinctive touch. It is turquoise<\/strong>\u00a0in colour, a nod to\u00a0the\u00a0shades of\u00a0t<\/strong>he\u00a0<\/strong>Caribbean seabed towards which\u00a0the\u00a0<\/strong>regatta is heading. The gren\u00e9 finish is enhanced by a decoration reminiscent of\u00a0the\u00a0<\/strong>flow of sea currents \u2013 in this case, oceanic currents. The\u00a0turquoise<\/strong>\u00a0colour is also found in\u00a0the\u00a0<\/strong>rubber coating of\u00a0the\u00a0<\/strong>winding crown,\u00a0the\u00a0<\/strong>cardinal points and\u00a0the\u00a0hour markers on\u00a0the\u00a0<\/strong>bezel, as well as in\u00a0the\u00a0<\/strong>textured rubber strap<\/strong>. The inside of\u00a0the\u00a0<\/strong>strap is\u00a0turquoise<\/strong>, as are its sides;\u00a0the\u00a0<\/strong>outside is black with a pattern reminiscent of woven fabric. The strap is secured by a steel pin buckle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Alpina<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Returning to\u00a0the dial<\/strong>, the large hour and minute hands and the large hour markers are generously coated with luminescent material. The triangular hour marker at 12 o\u2019clock echoes the Alpina logo, as does the red counterweight on the central seconds hand. A\u00a0touch\u00a0<\/strong>of red can also be found on\u00a0the date disc<\/strong>, which appears in the window at 6 o\u2019clock. Indeed, the number 13 of the month is in this colour, a further nod to the 13th edition of\u00a0the Route du Rhum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE CALIBRE OF\u00a0THE ALPINA SEASTRONG DIVER EXTREME AUTOMATIC X ROUTE DU RHUM<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As for the movement, Alpina has opted for a tried-and-tested solution. Inside the case of\u00a0the Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic x Route du Rhum\u00a0<\/strong>is the\u00a0AL-525<\/strong>\u00a0automatic calibre, which is also found in other watches from the Seastrong collection as well as in the Alpiner. It is a movement developed by Alpina\u2019s engineers based on the Sellita SW200-1a automatic calibre, widely used by various brands with different customisations in each case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Alpina<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The appeal of this base calibre lies in its\u00a0robustness\u00a0<\/strong>and in the characteristics it retains even after various degrees of modification: 28,800 vibrations per hour, compactness and a modest power reserve (38 hours) \u2013 yet sufficient to guarantee precision and chronometric reliability in everyday use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A SOLAR-POWERED ALPINER FOR THE ROUTE DU RHUM: THE PRICES OF THE TWO WATCHES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of calibres, for the ocean race Alpina offers more than just the Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic\u00a0x Route du Rhum<\/strong>. There is also a watch from the Alpiner collection,\u00a0the Alpiner Extreme Solarmetre x Route du Rhum<\/strong>. As the name suggests, it is powered by\u00a0the light-powered AL-140 calibre<\/strong>, developed on a La Joux-Perret base and widely used by Alpina in both the Alpiner and Startimer ranges. Thanks to the translucent dial, light charges the batteries located beneath it, which recharge as long as the dial receives light. It would take\u00a010 consecutive months of total darkness\u00a0<\/strong>for them to run out. Once exposed to light again, the watch takes just 10 seconds to restart, and\u00a0a single minute\u00a0<\/strong>of exposure is enough to ensure a full day\u2019s operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Alpina<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Alpiner Extreme Solarmetre x Route du Rhum<\/strong> shares several design features with the Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic x Route du Rhum<\/strong>. It features a cushion-shaped case (37.5 mm in this instance), a carbon bezel, turquoise accents on the flange, a rubber strap, and a caseback engraved with the regatta route, with a limited edition of 513 pieces<\/strong>. Given its diameter and slim profile (10.2 mm), this watch is particularly well suited to smaller wrists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Alpina\u00a0x<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The prices\u00a0<\/strong>of the two watches are particularly attractive, in keeping with Alpina\u2019s commitment to high-quality yet accessible watchmaking:\u00a0\u20ac 2,195\u00a0<\/strong>for the Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic x Route du Rhum, and\u00a0\u20ac 1,095\u00a0<\/strong>for\u00a0the Alpiner Extreme Solarmetre x Route du Rhum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
