Vintage 1940'S Alpina 30mm Watch

Vintage 1940'S Alpina 30mm Manual Winding Watch, 17 Jewel, Sweep Seconds

Alpina introduced its “TreSor” in 1938.  This design was made during the WWII era, conceived and used as a military watch. The “TreSor” was designed to withstand the harshest of conditions. “TreSor” by the way means ‘safe’, as in as secure and solid as a safe. Alpina designated only their most rugged watches “TreSor”.

This all stainless steel watch has a decagonal screw-back Borgel-Taubert case designed to block moisture and dust.

A competitor in quality to Rolex of that era, this is the compact, desirable size of that time. A standout time piece.
