Its glossy black dial is ringed with silver-tone indexes and a minute track dotted with beige Luminova, matched by hand-polished silver-tone hands that are also filled with beige Luminova. A small seconds display and a date round out a dial with plenty of classic tool-watch charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 34mm three-part case is brushed and polished stainless steel, just 8.7mm thick, with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal on top and a threaded solid case back engraved with Alpina's Heritage pattern. Inside is the Swiss-made AL-480 hand-wound caliber, so winding the crown becomes a small hands-on ritual that connects you to your watch, and a beige Alcantara strap with a pin buckle finishes off this Swiss mechanical watch with a relaxed, vintage feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwiss AL-480 Hand-Wound Movement\u003c\/strong\u003e – Hours, minutes, small seconds and date.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlossy Black Dial\u003c\/strong\u003e – Silver-tone indexes and minute track with beige Luminova dots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact 34mm Steel Case\u003c\/strong\u003e – Three-part, brushed and polished, only 8.7mm thick.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngraved Threaded Case Back\u003c\/strong\u003e – Solid case back decorated with Alpina's Heritage pattern.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeige Alcantara Strap\u003c\/strong\u003e – Fastened with a pin buckle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e AL-480B2H6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heritage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tropic-Proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alpina AL-480, Swiss hand-winding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hours, minutes, small seconds, date\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three-part case, brushed and polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.7 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Back:\u003c\/strong\u003e Threaded, solid, engraved with Heritage pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anti-reflective sapphire\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndexes \u0026amp; Minute Track:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver-tone, with beige Luminova dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHands:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-polished silver-tone, with beige Luminova\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Splash resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beige Alcantara\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClasp:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pin buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Switzerland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTimepiece History\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlpina's story began in 1883, when alpinist Gottlieb Hauser founded a watchmaking cooperative in Winterthur, Switzerland, with fellow mountaineers, aiming to build robust watches for harsh mountain terrain. In 1938, Alpina introduced the Alpina 4, marketed on four qualities: waterproof, shockproof, anti-magnetic and rustproof. After a period of near inactivity from the early 1980s, Alpina was revived in the early 2000s by Aletta and Peter Stas, the founders of Frederique Constant, and it joined the Citizen Group in 2016.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Alpina Tropic-Proof is dated to 1965, although Alpina has noted that the exact year can't be confirmed. It was conceived as an all-purpose travel watch at a time when transatlantic air travel was becoming more accessible, with a case designed by François Borgel and Alpina's in-house hand-wound 598R movement, a caliber that dates to the 1950s and remained in use for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlpina reissued the Tropic-Proof in 2025, keeping details from the original such as the 1965 typeface on the case back, hand-polished dauphine hands and the double markers at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50878802853936,"sku":"AL-480B2H6","price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/1764\/4336\/files\/Heritage_Tropic-Proof_Handwinding_dc5a323b-0fe3-430d-8eb5-7aff685f9bf9.png?v=1792792539"}],"url":"https:\/\/elizaldejewelers.com\/es\/collections\/alpina-heritage.oembed","provider":"Elizalde Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
