Alpina teams up with the ever-opinionated hosts of The Real Time Show to unveil the Alpina × TRTS Seastrong Diver Extreme Automatic Special Edition. A punchy reinterpretation of a modern tool-watch favourite. With its streamlined dial architecture, revamped markers, and a freshly reimagined Alpina crest at 12 o’clock, this edition strips away the flange to amplify clarity. The result is a Seastrong that feels bigger, bolder, and unmistakably more legible, all while dialling up its visual punch.
Designed by Alon Ben Joseph and Rob Nudds, the watch launches online on 27 November 2025 before hitting global retailers in early 2026. Their brief was simple: enhance readability, embrace Alpina’s 1883 spirit, and inject TRTS’s signature design flair. A charcoal, finely grained dial lies beneath glossy lacquer, allowing the vivid orange seconds hand to dominate the stage. Subtle ton-sur-ton dial text recedes depending on the light, further boosting contrast with Alpina’s newly developed bright-white lume. Removing the rehaut opens the dial dramatically, enabling larger indices and a tighter, more precise minute track. A matte ceramic bezel with glossy highlights ties dial and case together with satisfying cohesion.
Sized at 39 mm and paired with a black rubber strap, the Special Edition brings rugged nautical charm without sacrificing comfort. It’s a confident, compact diver built for real-world use.
