Turning heads for Timepiece Thursday is this handsome, Swiss-made automatic pilot watch from Alpina. The Startimer Pilot Heritage draws inspiration from vintage watches while bringing some excellent travel features to the table.
Its 42mm case features two crowns on its side: one for controlling the automatic movement for setting time and date, while the other crown rotates its internal turning ring. The watch offers some GMT-esque functionality, able to advance the local hour, which can be useful for travelers going between timezones.
You'll find many premium features befitting a sub-$1500, Swiss-made pilot watch: a stainless steel case, sapphire lens, leather band, 100M of water resistance, and a 26-jewel automatic movement with 38-hour power reserve to boot. Learn more about the Startimer Pilot Heritage at the link below.
