The Alpina Startimer Pilot Automatic perfectly embodies the spirit of modern aviation watches. Developed by the Swiss brand Alpina, it combines legibility, robustness, and a reliable automatic movement, in a design directly inspired by cockpit instruments.
With the new Startimer collection, Alpina modernizes its iconic model while retaining its DNA: a functional, legible watch designed for real use.
At PAUSE Montres, we selected this collection for its coherence, quality, and price positioning. We would like to congratulate Alpina on the impressive quality-price ratio of this new Startimer.
The DNA of the Alpina Startimer collection
Alpina has been designing pilot watches since the 1920s, as tool watches for air navigation. The Startimer collection adopts these codes to perpetuate this heritage with modern features.
Historically, aviation watches had to allow for immediate readability, even in difficult conditions. The Startimer takes these codes with a modern twist. Increased readability, simple use and adapted robustness, everything is respected to make this Startimer collection suitable for piloting, but also for everyday use.

The new Alpina Startimer collection: a controlled evolution
With the new Startimer, Alpina brings a very relevant evolution:
The case size is perfectly in line with current trends. The grained dial and large indexes add texture and relief, further improving readability. The straps are adapted to the dial colors, making all 4 available Startimer watches unique.
Without betraying its DNA, the Startimer has now become a more versatile, more urban watch that is very easy to wear every day. This is precisely what makes it a particularly interesting collection today.

Startimer Pilot Automatic Black
The black version of the Startimer Pilot offers a rather sporty combination. The black grained dial and matching Cordura strap, the red accents on the bracelet stitching, the base of the seconds hand, and the font color of "Startimer" inscribed in the center of the dial contribute to the sporty positioning of this Alpina pilot's watch.

Startimer Pilot Automatic Blue
The blue version of the Startimer Pilot is undoubtedly the most versatile. The combination of grained blue with the cognac-colored brown strap makes it easily wearable every day. It is probably the most balanced, and having seen them all at Watches and Wonders, it is also our favorite of the four!

Startimer Pilot Automatic Green
The green version of the Startimer Pilot is the most elegant. The forest green of the grained dial and the chocolate brown strap are two colors often associated with more formal contexts. Although it doesn't look out of place for more regular use, its robustness and comfort improve its versatility.

Startimer Pilot Automatic Black PVD
This version stands out from the other 3 Startimers thanks to two changes: the black PVD case and the leather NATO strap. The case is still 316L stainless steel, but with a black PVD coating, displaying a strong style. The leather NATO strap completes the look, which is both vintage and military. This Startimer Pilot has the air of a field watch, even though it still ticks all the boxes of a pilot's watch.
