Hello guys and gals.Anyone own any of the Startimer models, Chrono and the non-Chrono pilot type watches?
Been looking at these, just to switch things up a bit, especially the non-Chrono pilot watch.
Any experiences would be kindly appreciated.

No one? Wellie wellie wellie, guess, I'm gonna have to buy one and write a review, then

Oh wow, I never knew that Alpina had in-house movements. And at $2150 that is not bad at all. At first it looked kind of like the IWC Big Pilot, but it is actually quite nice! Looking forward to your review!!

I'm certain it's a reworked Sellita sw200 that they renamed, either way its a bulletproof engine, essentially the same as eta2824.

They have reworked movements, but the manufacture line is in-house accordin to their website.

Old thread; but, I just purchased a Startimer Pilot chronograph limited. Love the watch. Very legible. It gets worn everyday.
The strap is very comfortable and it has a quick deployment which is nice.
