Alpina “Explorer” Dial Mechanical Field Watch

For sale is an extremely rare Alpina “Explorer” style wristwatch from the 1950s, powered by the handwound Cal. 598. This is a very attractive and characterful piece from the golden decade of watchmaking, when robust everyday watches were built with timeless proportions and enduring charm.

What makes this watch especially appealing is its classic black dial and highly desirable Explorer-style layout, giving it a clean, purposeful, and adventurous look on the wrist. With its balanced 35 mm case size, this Alpina wears beautifully and captures the understated tool-watch elegance that collectors appreciate so much in vintage watches from this era.

A very nice and seldom-seen Alpina with strong vintage presence, excellent proportions, and a design language that feels both sporty and timeless.
