**A sleek Swiss watch with a distinctive dial**
Alpina, a Swiss watch manufacturer with roots dating back to 1883, has long been a go-to for superbly crafted watches that can perform in harsh conditions. The Alpiner Extreme California Dial plays up that impressive pedigree with unique vintage flair. The first thing you’ll notice: It features a “California dial” with dashes, a triangle at 12 o’clock, and Roman and Arabic numerals—a layout that was originally developed to make watches easier to read. In addition, the silver hands wear a coat of beige lume, which gives the watch a warm throwback look. And with a reliable automatic mechanical movement under the hood and a water-resistance rating of 200 meters, this Alpiner isn’t just good looking—it makes an accurate, durable pick for daily wear, too.
