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\u003eIntroduced in 2024 and available from October of that year, the Heritage Automatic brought the first round-cased designs to Alpina's Heritage collection, which until then had been home to the Alpiner Heritage Carrée and the Seastrong Heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design draws on Alpina watches of the 1920s. Where those originals measured about 27.5mm, the Heritage Automatic scales the look up to a modern 38mm for today's wrists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50878802591792,"sku":"AL-520SBG3SH6","price":1895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/1764\/4336\/files\/Heritage_Automatic.webp?v=1792792892","url":"https:\/\/elizaldejewelers.com\/products\/alpina-heritage-automatic-al-520sbg3sh6","provider":"Elizalde Jewelers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
