Alpina has presented the Seastrong Diver Comtesse Quartz range. This is the successor of the first water sports watches designed for women, created by the brand nearly 60 years ago. The timepiece, however, is no revival, vintage style or backward-looking conservatism; the new Seastrong Diver Comtesse is made for the XXI century!
A real first
The Seastrong Diver Comtesse Quartz was born out of a union between the Seastrong Diver collections and the feminine yet sporty chic Comtesse range. The latter’s ladies’ models already feature in the Maison’s Alpiner collection. Their union has given rise to these brand new diving watches exclusively for women.
For women who dive
Designed to be used by those for whom the seas and oceans represent the ground for exploration, the Seastrong Diver Comtesse Quartz is made for diving. It has all the requisite features: guaranteed 300 m water resistance, graduated unidirectional bezel, screw-down caseback and crown, as well as broad luminescent hands to ensure one’s immersion time in the depths is easy to see.
Alpina design
Alpina is offering four different variations, three steel or rubber straps and mother-of-pearl dials (blue or white) revealing iridescent reflections. Each piece displays its Alpina iconic red triangle on the seconds hand counterbalance, as well as at 12 o’clock on the unidirectional bezel and on the dial. On the caseback, you’ll find an engraving specific to Alpina diving watches, incorporating Alpine peaks and the trident of the deep sea.
The AL-240 quartz calibre keeps the watch accurate in time (for nearly four years) and also shows the date, revealed through a window at 3 o’clock. Finally, the new Seastrong Diver Comtesse Quartz features a slim 34 mm steel case and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
