Description

This Heritage model features a brushed and polished stainless steel case measuring 34 mm, paired with a beige Alcantara strap. Powered by the hand-wound AL-480 calibre, it offers a 42-hour power reserve. The watch displays hours, minutes and seconds with hand-polished silver-coloured hands and beige Luminova details. Alpina reissues the Tropic-Proof, the emblematic adventurer’s watch of the 1960s. Rugged (an “FB” case, Swiss Made hand-wound movement), it returns true to form in black or white (34 mm), honouring Alpina’s pioneering spirit and reliability in exploration. Born of an opening to the world, the Tropic-Proof withstood tropical conditions. Rugged (François Borgel case, proven Swiss calibres), it embodied Alpina’s DNA: ruggedness, reliability and accessibility. This reissue bears witness to the brand’s spirit of adventure. The new Alpina Heritage Tropic-Proof is a faithful replica of the 1965 model (34 mm case, AL-480 hand-wound movement). The vintage aesthetic (dauphine hands, distinctive indexes) is respected, with modernised materials (sapphire crystal). It combines the appeal of the past with today’s watchmaking quality, offering an immersion into Alpina’s history.
