Description from the seller
Rare full steel Alpina from the 1940s – Featuring the Renowned Calibre 598
A charming and increasingly hard-to-find Alpina from the 1940s, combining understated Swiss elegance with a high-quality mechanical movement. Known for its precision, reliability and robust construction, Alpina has a long-standing reputation in Swiss watchmaking. Early examples like this remain particularly appealing to vintage watch enthusiasts.
Case: Stainless steel, measuring about 34 mm excluding the crown. Good condition. 18 mm lug width. Fancy lugs!
Caseback: Stainless steel screw-down caseback in very good condition.
Movement: Alpina calibre 598, a high-quality manual-winding movement. Beautiful traditional Swiss engineering, appearing very clean and running well. Service history unknown.
Dial: Original, unrestored dial with an attractive vintage patina.
Hands: Original, unrestored hands with some patina
Crystal: Plexiglass in great condition.
Crown: Unsigned, in good condition.
Strap: New old stock brown lizard leather strap.
A wonderful opportunity to acquire an authentic 1940s Alpina, retaining its original dial, honest signs of age and the appeal of its fine mechanical movement. An unspoilt vintage timepiece with plenty of character, preserved without unnecessary restoration.
