Alpina Avalanche Extreme Chrono Double Digit

The new Alpina Avalanche Extreme Chrono Double Digit chronograph watch is offered in two versions: black-on-black and black-and-red.
“Double Digit” here means that Alpina replaced normal hour markers with double-digit minute indicators (Praesto did the same feat with their Modern Fliegeruhr Aviator watch, but it is not available yet.)

The watch comes in a rather large 46 mm stainless steel, which is available either untreated (Ref. AL-850BR4AE6) or covered in black PVD (Ref. AL-850BB4AE6). Both versions feature the same black PVD bezel secured by six triangular-shaped stainless steel screws.
Like most current offerings, this one is powered by a ETA 2894-based caliber AL-850 with its rotor plated in black PVD.
The Swiss-based company wants €2500 for this piece of horological gadgetry.
