Alpina's Startimer Pilot Heritage GMT Brings Globetrotting Luxury To The Economy Class

The Alpina Startimer Pilot Heritage GMT is a vintage-inspired travel watch from the Swiss brand known for balancing quality and accessibility With a retro case shape, GMT capability, and a sub-$1,500 price tag, the Startimer Pilot Heritage GMT offers a decent and durable watch at an approachable price The watch features layers of concentric circles from the inner GMT indicator, to the local hour indicators, the two chapter rings, and the outer GMT ring.

Similar to the Alpina Seatrong Diver Heritage that we reviewed recently, this airborne Alpina features dual crowns for controlling the time/date and the GMT function Unlike its diver brother, the Startimer Pilot GMT uses the AL-555 movement, a Sellita-based caliber that has been modified in-house At $1,395, the Startimer Pilot Heritage GMT doesn't have much in the way of competition at its price point.

With neo-vintage styling, multiple dial color options, 100m water-resistance, and travel-ready GMT movement, Alpina sets the bar high for any challengers looking to enter the affordable GMT market. . Source
