Alpina was a renowned supplier of aviation watches to numerous European airforces in the first half of the twentieth century, and the new Startimer Pilot Automatic Chronograph “Black Star” is set to live up to its predecessors’ reputation and win a place on professional pilots’ wrists. All in black, it matches style with performance, beginning with the bi-compax layout of its 60-second and 30-minute counters for the instant readability that every pilot demands.
