About Alpina
The 1938 Alpina 4 was antimagnetic, shock-resistant, waterproof and made of stainless steel, qualities rarely found together at the time. The brand, which grew out of a watchmakers' cooperative founded by Gottlieb Hauser in 1883, has specialised in sports watches.
It has belonged to the Citizen group since 2016 and shares Frederique Constant's production in Geneva.
