FUNCTIONS: HOURS, MINUTES,

ZONE)
USE OF THE GMT FUNCTION:
The GMT is fitted with an additional,
red-arrow hour hand, setting it instantly
apart from the main hour hand.
This additional hand completes a revo-
lution of the dial in 24 hours and repre-
sents the reference time. The hour hand,
which represents local time, may be
easily set by jumping from hour to hour.
If you are travelling: pull the crown to posi-
tion
2
and set your reference time, using
the graduated scale on the raised dial.
Then, push the crown to position
and
adjust the hour hand by one-hour jumps
in order to display the time of the country
you are visiting. This operation is done
without stopping the mechanical move-
ment and therefore without changing the
watch’s other settings.
You can now read the time of the location
from which you have travelled, on a 24-
hour scale, and the time of the place where
you are currently located at a glance!

COUNTDOWN
Before starting the countdown, the 5
apertures are the same colour as the
dial. Each aperture represents one mi-
nute. When the gun is fired, start the
counting (press button
1
).
After 1 minute, the first aperture becomes
blue and the next 4 are still the colour
of the dial. After 5 minutes, the second
hand is at 12 o’clock and the 5 apertures
are blue. The race official fires again to
confirm the continuation of the start.
If the countdown is stopped, simply stop
the counting on the watch by pressing
button
4
and restarting it when the
countdown resumes, by pressing button
4
again. After 6 minutes, the first aper-
ture becomes orange and the next 4 are
still blue. After 9 minutes, 4 apertures
are now orange and the blue of the final
aperture has started to disappear.
You should then organise the start of
your boat to pass the line when the 5
apertures are orange and the second
hand is at 12 o’clock.

TACTICAL PLANNER
The Alpina Seastrong Yacht Timer
watches are fitted with a tactical planner,
in the form of a start line drawn on the
dial. A “+“ and a “-“ indicate a favou-
rable or unfavourable starting position at
the starting buoy.
This planner helps the sailor make deci-
sions concerning the boat’s position on
the starting line. To determine the best
position on the starting line, use the
compass on the bezel as follows:
- measure the wind direction with your
compass (anemometer);
- turn the bezel to have the wind angle
at 12 o’clock;
- sail from the starting boat to the starting
line buoy to determine the orientation of
the starting line;
- look where the orientation of the star-
ting line is located on the bezel of your
watch. If the angle is between 9 and 12
o’clock, it is best to start from the buoy
side. If this angle is between 6 and 9
o’clock, it is best to start from the star-
ting boat side.

Example 1
An essential feature of all Alpina diving
watches is the unidirectional, anti-clo-
ckwise, rotating bezel, used to control
immersion time. The bezel is fitted with
a graduated scale divided into minutes.
The bezel’s working principle is both
simple and reliable. At the beginning of
each immersion, the zero on the bezel
must be aligned with the minute hand. A
simple glance at the position of the mi-
nute hand with respect to the bezel will
show the diver at any moment how much
time has elapsed since the start of the
dive (in minutes).
The unidirectional anti-clockwise rotation
of the bezel is a safety feature that en-
sures that any accidental movement of
the ring will always cause the remaining
diving time to reduce with respect to the
effective remaining diving time.
Measurement scales are scales that es-
tablish a relation between elapsed time
and another variable. The desired infor-
mation in terms of speed (tachymeter),
distance (telemeter) or units (pulso-
meter, productivity meters) is read off
between the central seconds hand of
the chronograph and the corresponding
scale, over a maximum duration of 60
seconds. For the telemeter, it is possible
to make use of the minutes counter by
adding 20 km to the distance indicated
by the central seconds hand for each
minute elapsed.
TACHYMETER SCALE USE
Example 1: calculating the speed of a car.
Measure the time it takes the car to cover a
distance of 1 km. Read off the speed indi-
cated by the central chronograph seconds
hand on the tachymetric scale. In our exa-
mple, the car is travelling at 90 km/h.

TELEMETER SCALE USE
Example 2: calculating the distance
between your position and an upcoming
storm. Start the chronograph when you see
the lightning; then stop the chronograph
when you hear the thunder. Read off the dis-
tance indicated by the central chronograph
hand on the telemetric scale. In our example
the storm is 5 km away from your position.
Alpina watches featuring a 360° ro-
tating compass bezel can roughly
determine directions a particularly
useful feature for orientation sports
and other adventure or alpine sports.
COMPASS USE INSTRUCTIONS
ON ALPINER 4 CHRONOGRAPH
AND ALPINER 4 GMT*
Precautions in using a compass bezel:
- Do not use the compass in situa-
tions where accuracy is critical.
The compass only gives a rough
indication of direction.
- Use the compass where the sun is
visible or its location known.
- Your watch must be set to winter
time. If daylight savings time (sum-
mer time) is in effect in your area,
you must set your watch one hour
behind before using the compass
bezel.

* When using the Alpiner 4 GMT you can
also use the 24H hand to operate the
compass. To do this, the 24H hand must
indicate your local time.
A) In the northern hemisphere put the
“36” (=North) facing the 24H hand.
Point the hour hand (keeping the dial
level) in the direction of the sun and your
compass is activated.
B) In the southern hemisphere put the
“18” (=South) facing the 24H hand.
Point the hour hand (keeping the dial
level) in the direction of the sun and your
compass is activated.
COMPASS USE INSTRUCTIONS ON

you can read the directions on the
rotating compass bezel. The 36,
09,18, 27 indicate North, East, South
and West, respectively.
EXAMPLE 1: It is 8 am in your area. Set
the 18 facing the 8 on the 24H scale
of the dial. Now point the hour hand
(keeping the dial level) in the direction of
the sun and your compass is activated.
EXAMPLE 2: It is 6 pm in your area. Set
the n° 18 facing the 18 on the 24H scale
of the dial. Now point the hour hand
(keeping the dial level) in the direction of
the sun and your compass is activated.

Magnetic fields can significantly impact
the precision of your watch. There are
many sources of magnetic fields, such
as mobile phones, iPads, computers,
loudspeakers, refrigerators and other
electronic devices. The more powerful
the magnetic field the higher the impact
on your watch. All Alpina watches
designated by “4”, i.e. the “Alpiner 4”,
are anti-magnetic. This means that they
have a minimal deviation when exposed
to a certain level of magnetic field.
Alpina “4” anti-magnetic watches
conform to the international ISO 764
standard which defines the resistance of
watches to magnetic fields. According to
ISO 764 a watch must resist exposition
to a direct current magnetic field of 4,800
A/m. The watch must keep its accuracy
to ± 30 seconds/day as measured
before the test in order to be recognised
as a magnetic-resistant watch.

Swimming in salt water: take care
to rinse your watch with fresh water
immediately after your swim.
Magnetism: avoid placing your watch
on iPads, computers, loudspeakers,
mobile phones or refrigerators. These
devices generate powerful magnetic
fields that can affect the precision of
your watch.
Shocks to the watch: different types
of shocks whether chemical,
thermal, physical, magnetic or other
– can affect your watch. Take care to
avoid them.
Screw-in crown: to prevent water
or humidity from entering the case,
make sure the crown is always tightly
screwed into the case. Do not use
chronograph pushers under water.
Normal crown: to prevent humidity
from entering the case, make sure
the crown is always pushed back
in the wearing position. Do not use
chronograph pushers under water.
Care and cleaning of metal bracelets,
rubber straps and water-resistant
metal cases: clean with soapy water
and a toothbrush and dry with a soft
cloth.

TAKING
CARE
OF YOUR
ALPINA
WATCH
PLEASE FOLLOW THE BELOW RECOMMENDATIONS, TO ENSURE THAT
YOUR ALPINA WATCH WILL SERVE YOU LOYALLY AND WITH EXCELLENCE
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.
4.1
Chemical products: avoid direct
contact with chemical cleaning
agents, solvents, detergents,
cosmetics and other chemical
products, as they may damage your
case, bracelet or rubber gaskets.
Temperature: avoid exposure to
temperatures greater than 60°C
(140°F), or below 0°C (32°F).
Also avoid extreme changes in
temperature, such as putting the
watch in extremely cold water after
prolonged exposure to the sun.
Water-resistance: a watch’s water-
resistance cannot be guaranteed in
all situations or for ever. The water-
resistance can be affected by a
shock to the crown, the ageing of
gaskets (for example, due to the
action of chemical products), etc.
Like any other mechanical precision
instrument, it is important to service a
watch at regular intervals to make sure
it performs correctly in time. As a general
rule, and depending on how you use
your watch and the conditions in which
you use it, we advise you to have your
watch serviced every 4 to 5 years.
You can find the list of our Official
Retailers and Service Centres at
www.alpina-watches.com.
MECHANICAL WATCHES
The balance wheel in an automatic
Alpina watch swings 28,800 times an
hour and the gear train moves forward
691,200 times in 24 hours. In four years,
this represents over one billion impulses!
We advise you to bring your watch
every 3-4 years to an official Alpina
Retailer or Service Centre, where a
trained watchmaker will meticulously
inspect it before thoroughly cleaning and
lubricating the movement.

WATER-RESISTANCE
The water-resistance rating of your watch
was determined and checked when it
was manufactured at our workshops.
It does not imply a lifetime guarantee
against water entering into the watch.
Your watch is water-resistant only when
the crown is fully pushed-in against the
case. If your watch has a screw-in crown,
it must be tightly screwed into the case.
Your watch is not water-resistant if the
crown is in the winding or time-setting
positions. Likewise, pushers should not
be operated while the watch is wet or in
water.
Ageing and normal day-to-day handling
affect the water-resistance of your watch.
Avoid temperature extremes (immersing
the watch in cold water after a prolonged
period in the hot sun) that can damage
the gaskets as well as any other shocks
– chemical, physical or other – which
might compromise the technical integrity
of the watch case.
We advise you to bring your watch to an
Official Alpina Retailer or Service Centre
for a water-resistance check every 2-3
years.
We recommend you adhere to the
following indications to keep your leather
strap in good condition for as long as
possible:
Avoid contact with water and
humidity to prevent discolouration
and deformation.
Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun
to prevent discolouration.
Avoid contact with greasy
substances, cosmetic products and
any other chemical agent.
Leather is an organic and permeable
material and therefore will not last for
ever in its original condition. However, if
you adopt the steps above it will last for
many years. You can replace your leather
strap at any Official Alpina Retailer.

WAR-
RANTY
The anti-reflective treatment of the sap-
phire crystal improves the visibility and
contrast of your watch’s dial. Normal
daily use and wear and tear may cause
marks to appear on the coating. These
are considered normal and are therefore
not covered by the warranty.
4.4
ANTI-
REFLECTIVE
TREATMENT
OF THE
SAPPHIRE
CRYSTAL
Some Alpina watches have a screw-in
crown, which must be unscrewed to
change the time or the date. After use,
the crown must be pressed against the
case and screwed in tightly. Failure to do
so will compromise the water-resistance
of your watch.
4.5
SCREW-IN
CROWN
Your Alpina watch is guaranteed for a
period of two years (24 months) starting
from the purchase date, covering all
manufacturing defects during regular use
as stated in the following terms: Alpina
Watch International S.A. will replace free
of charge any defective component due
to a manufacturing error, duly noted by
our technical services. Your watch is
under warranty for a period of two years
from the date on the Warranty Certificate,
signed and stamped by an authorised
Alpina Retailer.

GENUINESS
We are often asked to check if a
Alpina watch is genuine. Official Alpina
retailers attest the genuineness of every
Alpina watch and provide expert and
dependable after-sales servicing, thanks
to their expertise and professional skills,
and to specially adapted equipment.
Alpina Watch International S.A. disclaims
any relationship to, or responsibility for,
any timepiece or other item bearing the
Alpina name, brand, logotype or symbol
offered for sale by anyone not being an
official Alpina retailer.
Purchasing such an item from an
unauthorized party is therefore at the
buyer’s sole risk, particularly in the case
of counterfeit or substandard products
and in case of products purchased on
the Internet.
No explicit or implicit warranty or
servicing or any other obligation
shall ensue for Alpina or for any of its
authorized representatives for products
sold by unauthorized parties and not
accompanied by a duly stamped Alpina
international warranty certificate.
For the above reasons and in your own
interest, you are invited to acquire only
genuine Alpina timepieces available
exclusively from a legitimate Alpina
official retailer.
