The Alpina Alpiner Date Manufacture Label Noir (ref. AL-706W4E6) is a highly limited edition of 130 pieces born from the collaboration between Alpina and the Geneva studio Label Noir. This collaboration embraces a snow-white aesthetic, with a hammered case featuring a mineral texture and a grained white dial that evokes alpine peaks.
Currently available in store (number 1/130), this model stands out primarily for its mechanical heart: the AL-706 manufacture caliber developed by the La Joux-Perret manufacture, offering 72 hours of power reserve and a pointer date at 6 o'clock, an elegant complication rarely seen in this range.
A "snow" Alpiner with a hammered case: the detail that changes everything
The 41.50 mm hammered and polished 316L steel case immediately sets the tone: each surface catches the light differently, like rock sculpted by the cold. The grained white dial extends this "powder snow" effect, while the white lacquered hands and luminescence ensure clear daily readability.
The date, displayed by a hand in a sub-dial at 6 o'clock, provides a more "manufacture" watchmaking signature than a simple window, reinforcing the piece's identity.
A manufacture heart: the AL-706 caliber
Beyond the design, this collaboration highlights the watchmaking dimension.
The Alpiner Date Manufacture Label Noir is equipped with the automatic AL-706 caliber, developed by Alpina:
- 28,800 vibrations/hour
- 72 hours power reserve
- Pointer date at 6 o'clock
- Transparent case back to admire the movement
This comfortable power reserve allows the watch to be left for a whole weekend without stopping – a real plus for daily wear.
The pointer date, more elegant than a classic aperture, reinforces the "manufacture" identity of the piece.
A truly confidential edition
With 130 pieces worldwide, including fewer than 10 in France, this Alpina x Label Noir is not an extended series.
This low volume provides:
- True rarity
- Collector appeal
- Strong differentiation within the Alpiner range
For Alpina enthusiasts seeking a piece outside the classic catalog, this is a particularly interesting alternative.
