Alpina recently introduced the new Extreme Diver 1000 M. It has a huge 48 mm stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal and display back. It has a helium release valve and a water-resistance of 1000 meters or 3333 feet. The movement is an automatic caliber Al-525, with a 42 hour power reserve. It comes in a cool display case that looks like an oxygen tank, pictured here. The stainless steel version is $2859 and the all-black PVD treated stainless version is $3333.

Here is an Alpina Avalanche Extreme Full Black Regulator watch that was introduced in 2006. It is Alpina's biggest watch with a 48 mm diameter. Alpina has stepped up and used a PVD treatment to make a statement with this beautiful stainless steel chrono.

Here is a cool new full black Extreme Regulator watch from Alpina. It has a Caliber AL-650 movement that vibrates at 18,000 /h with 17 jewels. It is a manual winder and has a 42 hour power reserve. The case is made of stainless steel and is a whopping 48mm wide and 12mm tall. It features sapphire crystal and a rubber strap. I really like Alpina watches, especially this full black stainless steel model.

Another exciting Alpina introduction at Baselworld 2006: the new Avalanche Ladies Chronograph. A lady’s watch “reflecting the lifestyle of luxurious mountain sports and exclusive resorts”. The striking white dial is decorated with a vertical Côtes de Genève pattern, and gives the watch a highly distinctive look. The stainless steel case is set with 24 VS Top Wesselton diamonds, conveying lots of character and feminity. I love women's watches that are sporty like this. Another excellent new watch from Alpina.

After the success of the Alpina Regulator 1883, Alpina is proud to announce the Regulator Avalanche Extreme. With its massive case and extremely pronounced design, it was a hit at Baselworld 2006. Major orders are received for various versions and shipments will start this summer. Ever since Alpina has started making watches again they have come out with many nice watches. This is a great looking watch that I would highly recommend.

This is an Alpina Startimer Chronograph produced by the recently revived Alpina manufacture. This Swiss watchmaker creates a very nice range of watches.
