This version (AL-525LB4V26) is a notable step up from the standard Seastrong auto. The Alpina-modified high grade Sellita movement features perlage decoration, not present on other models, and the distinctive black axe rotor is visible through a sapphire exhibition caseback. The gorgeous deco lines of the case have a step-up finish, with alternating polished and brushed surfaces. The piano gloss bezel with retention screws is another model of grade and a standout feature. Bezel action is among the best I have felt - affirmative, satisfying, with no backplay. The milled buckle has push-button deployment and three micro adjusts. 300m of water resistance. A lot of watch at this price. The dial features applied indices with generous Superluminova fill, raised chapter ring, framed date window, red accents on the handset with Alpina triangle counterbalance, and a thick application of blue AR - a great combination. The large crown has a rubber sheath for grip and is also signed. Case diameter is 44 mm, but the short lugs make for a great fit on my 7.25 inch wrist.



The watch is in excellent cosmetic condition - nothing but the slightest hairlines. Crystals and high polished bezel are clean, and virtually no wear on the original deployant buckle. Mechanically superb, running within 1s/day - easily my most accurate watch. The crown and bezel action are perfect, too. Original silicone strap cut for a 7 inch wrist is present, but pictured here on a Cinturini/Zuludiver genuine rubber strap, cut for 7.25-7.5 inch (also included). The original milled Alpina buckle works on either strap.

No box, hence asking price is $550 - a better value than the standard Seastrong. Trade value $600. I am open to offers and ideas from trades.
