Affordable Swiss Heritage Diver | Alpina Seastrong Heritage
Рет қаралды 7,843
3 жыл бұрынThe compressor style divewatch was very popular in the 1960's. In recent years it got a revival from brands like Longines, JLC and Christopher Ward. One very interesting take on the compressor-style diver is the Alpina Seastrong Heritage.

It's nice to hear a reviewer that is not turned off by the date placement. Watch enthusiasts can be so finicky. I think if they had their way all watches would look the same lol.

They'd have literally every watch ever made be a rolex sub and have the logo be rolex's logo

Agree on the styling, pricing an lume you mentioned...a good value prop at lower than RRP. Thanks for the share.

Sweet alternative to a Longines legend diver and not giving up quality

Yes, and the Alpina has shorter and more curved lugs. I love the Longines but the long and flat lugs turns from that watch. Best regards, Anders

Did you have to curve the spring bars on the mesh bracelet?

I like the date placement, would look better on a white dial & would much prefer all divers not to have a date as for me it's a pointless complication that's only really needed once per day. Nice watch, tho I'd go for the Chris Ward myself. Cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻

Where can I buy mesh bracelet. Thank you in advance.

what brand mesh bracelet did you buy?
@dasweed1323 Жыл бұрын
Did the mesh bracelet scratch the case? I noticed the rubber bracelet has a slight bend.

Really need o explore Alpina more, they have some great pieces. The date placement on this one is a deal-breaker for me though... yuk

Well I have designed this beautiful dive watch, but oops I forgot the date complication. Guess I'll just put it anywhere lol Strangely the 1967 model has it at 3 o'clock.

The Christopher Ward is actually a legit compressor, not just compressor style.
@joerichardson6107 3 жыл бұрын
The mesh is killer, the lume is disappointing, they should have lit up that inner bezel and the hour markers... It's a dive watch with no utility as such with the lack of lume. Was thinking about getting this but I'll pass. Love my Alpiner 4 Auto though.

Was the designer drunk when he placed the date there? Looks like the date location was chosen by throwing darts blindfolded.
@TimeAndCrown 3 жыл бұрын
There are no reports from Alpina Watches suggesting any use of alchohol or precision sports when designing this watch. So the answer to your question is no.

Longines Legend Diver copy :(
@TimeAndCrown 3 жыл бұрын
Both Longines and Alpina released their compressor divers in the 1960’s so it can’t be a “copy”.
