Alpina: Seastrong Extreme Automatic x Route du Rhum Destination Guadeloupe, an Extreme edition limited to 313 pieces

The Alpina Seastrong Extreme Automatic x Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe AL-525T3VE6 celebrates the 13th edition of the famous solo transatlantic race, for which Alpina is the Official Timekeeper. Limited to 313 pieces worldwide, it adopts the characteristic cushion-shaped case of the Extreme family in a versatile 39 × 40.5 mm format. Its matte textured duck-blue dial, turquoise accents, and black and blue rubber strap give the Seastrong Extreme Automatic x Route du Rhum an identity directly inspired by the world of sailing.

The Seastrong Extreme Auto x Route du Rhum uses a 316L stainless steel case with a thickness of 13.4 mm, topped with a bezel featuring a carbon fiber insert. The blue dial features a pattern of Atlantic Ocean currents. A turquoise flange and white minute track add contrast to this Seastrong Extreme x Route du Rhum.

At the heart of the Alpina Seastrong x Route du Rhum is the Swiss Alpina AL-525 automatic caliber. With its 38-hour power reserve and formidable reliability, this base Sellita SW200 caliber displays hours, minutes, seconds, and a date at 6 o'clock.

The Seastrong Extreme x Route du Rhum is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and features a solid screw-down case back bearing an exclusive engraving of the Route du Rhum Destination Guadeloupe route. Its textured black rubber strap extends its sporty and nautical orientation, while its water resistance of 30 ATM / 300 meters allows it to accompany daily use and various aquatic activities. The Seastrong Extreme x Route du Rhum thus combines Swiss mechanics, signature Alpina format, and a true collector's dimension.
