Niceforyou Extreme Sailing Series

Emphasizing on its strong commitment to the spectacular Extreme Sailing Series, Alpina Geneve developed the automatic Yacht Timer caliber AL-880 in-house, based on the Sellita SW500 chronograph movement. The caliber is encapsulated in a new, stainless steel 30 ATM water-resistant case, of which the shape resembles Alpina case designs from the past. This new model with sailing countdown function is available either with a white or a black dial. In addition to the new Yacht Timer version, Alpina introduces another attractively priced version the Alpina Sailing Automatic with 3 hands and a date window, with similar case and dial design. All Alpina Sailing timepieces are available on rubber strap, metal bracelet or metal mesh bracelet, for absolute comfort and security in the most extreme situations.

The Extreme 40 Catamaran inspired the development of the Alpina Sailing Collection. Alpina Sailing timepieces will be offered in limited editions and come in a special packaging alongside a miniature reproduction of the Extreme 40 Catamaran.

To promote this entirely new collection, Alpina Genève is proud to announce its exclusive partnership with Team Niceforyou, which is engaged in the Extreme Sailing Series. Niceforyou believes in the quality and high standards of the Extreme Sailing Series and has decided to take part in the circuit from 2011, alongside a team of extremely high profile sailors, led by an exceptional skipper: Alberto Barovier. Barovier was the winner of the 2010 America’s Cup on board the trimaran BMW Oracle Racing. The team gathers some of the best sailors from Italy, who together boast 12 participations in the America’s Cup, more than 15 world titles, a similar number of European and national titles and one Olympic Game.
