After the Juicy Couture Leather Lock-It Worth-It Crossbody Hobo Bag, I encounter another long product name Alpina Avalanche Extreme Chrono Double Digit Watch. While I detest brands that have no time to think about the name things-Hublot, for example, simply named its latest watch-Hublot Big Bang Gold Watch, I do not like brands that try too hard to produce long names.The above mentioned names are typical examples.
Well despite the name is unlovable, the mentioned new watch from Alpina is quite nice looking. Sized at 46 mm, it is done on stainless steel. One version is fully coated with black PVD, and the other version showcases the nice contrast between plain steel and PVD-coated steel. The The dial is protected by sapphire crystals and lighten up by sporty red applied on the counterweight of chronograph seconds hand or the subdials. And it is officially said the “Double Digit” is original from the 5 minute indicators that replace the traditional hour markers. And the minute hand is designed to pass right over the “minute ring”.
By the way, I find the large screws on the bezel is very impressive. And I feel the skeletonized hour and minute hand on the version featuring red subdial may confuse the reading of time. Though the design ideal is not bad.
Beating inside this watch is the Alpina caliber AL-850 based on the Swiss ETA automatic movement. It comes with date complication that displayed at 6 in addition to the chronograph functions and tradition time display. Though the sapphire crystal case back, you can have a clear view of this movement.
