This listing is for a genuine Swiss-made Alpina Watch International S.A. watch with black ceramic case. Dial-black with 8 genuine diamond markers & multi colored Nacre also known as mother of pearl chapter ring. Some Rolex and Breitling watches also feature pearl dials. Alpina is one of the oldest established Swiss brands, founded in 1883, and was well known for it's war time aviation watches. A well respected company, it used to be much better known, but as with many companies it went through a period of hard times and lost its market position. The watch is brand new with tags and comes in an Alpina SA box with instruction manuals. The rich history, numerous awards and dazzling achievements in the past are the best guarantee of quality watches. Every Alpina is intelligently and extraordinarily priced to be of the best value in the Swiss watch industry today.
Swiss watchmakers are trying to get the threshold raised. That will create demand for Swiss components even as ETA curbs the supply. So watch out: prices will rise even higher. A strong Swiss franc — which has sharply sent up the cost of producing luxury watches in Switzerland. This price is below a dealer cost (dealer cost is around $900). The dealer who traded it to us needed cashflow for personal reasons, and hence is selling at a loss. Swiss watchmakers are trying to get the threshold raised.

Fixed 23k Rose Gold Bezel - PVD Steel Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) has been around for decades primarily in military applications original designed to decrease friction wear on metal parts.
It bonds a micron thick layer of metal compounds to metal or other materials. Why PVD? First off the finish won’t wear off. It reduces wear of bracelets, crowns, bezels, etc.
Adds a unique professional appearance to your timepiece and virtually eliminates reflective glare. As the deposition process is so flexible many industries have begun using the technology.
