As the official timekeeper of the extreme yacht race Arkea Ultim Challenge – Brest, the brand launches the Alpina Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic Arkea Limited Edition. Which is available in two versions: one with a silver dial on a rubber strap and one with a blue dial on a steel bracelet. Both with a stainless steel case measuring 41 x 42.50 millimeters.
This Arkea Ultim Challenge – Brest is a round-the-world yacht race that started on the 7th of January 2024. Six competitors have sailed from west to east around the Cape of Good Hope, Cape Leeuwin and Cape Horn. To link the watch with this event, the trident-shaped logo of the race is depicted on the dial.
The Alpina Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic Arkea Limited Edition has a power reserve of 38 hours
The dial is executed with a triangle pattern with clear, large indexes and large skeletonized hands. Other Seastrong models like this Alpina Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic have a unidirectional rotating diving bezel. However, these two Arkea models have a fixed, screwed steel bezel, probably for even more rigidity and durability.
The movement of the Alpina Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic Arkea Limited Edition is the Alpina caliber AL-525. Which is an adjusted Sellita caliber SW200-1 a with a power reserve of 38 hours. The silver dial version comes on a blue rubber strap, the blue dial on a stainless steel bracelet, which adds about 400 to the price.
