The Alpina Startimer Pilot Automatic ref. AL-525G4TS26 is a pilot-style wristwatch from the Startimer collection, built around a round 41 mm case. The stainless steel case carries a black PVD treatment, giving the watch a dark, understated look that suits its aviation-inspired character. It is powered by the automatic caliber AL-525, so it needs no battery and is wound by the movement of the wrist.

The dial is grey with a matte finish, which limits reflections and keeps the display easy to read. Arabic numerals serve as hour indexes, a layout long associated with pilot watches and designed for quick legibility. The bezel is smooth, which keeps the face of the watch clean and uncluttered.

The case measures 11.50 mm thick and has a 16 mm lug width. It is fitted with a sapphire crystal, a closed case back and water resistance to 100 meters. These specifications make the Alpina Pilot Automatic AL-525G4TS26 a practical choice for daily wear, whether with casual outfits or for travel, for anyone who appreciates a robust, black-coated automatic pilot watch.
