A single name, A single number: Calanda, 1. ‘Calanda’ after the eponymous cargo ship built in 1913, which flew under Switzerland’s flag from 9 April 1941. ‘1’ in a nod to the Calanda having been the very first ship to be recorded on the Swiss boat register, assigned Basel as its home and registration port. This was a powerful symbol for a neutral country, which had decided to equip itself with a fleet to ensure supplies could reach it by sea in light of the German and Italian troops encroaching on Greece. After many services given, the ship finally retired and was dismantled in Hong Kong in 1953.

The Alpina AL-525BBG4VR6 features a 42m dial with a thickness of 12.66mm. The glass is scratch resistant convex Sapphire Crystal. The case back is engraved Recycled Stainess steel and the crown is a screw lock type. The matte black dial features beige seconds markers with the hands being hand polished silver tone stainless steel with matching luminous treatment.

What we like: One for the collectors, this is a true collectors timepiece. The sustainable manufacturing techniques along with the history of the CALANDA just add to the appeal. The looks and the the finish on this watch are second to none.
