Alpharo introduces the “Model 1,” a UK-designed and assembled timepiece that aims to redefine everyday wear. Now available for pre-order on Kickstarter, the watch features a slender 38mm 316L stainless steel case with a minimal 9.8mm height, making it highly versatile. It is powered by the no-date Japanese Miyota 9039 automatic movement, which offers a 42-hour power reserve and is visible through a sapphire exhibition porthole on the solid screw-in caseback. The dial variants are distinguished by unique hand finishes: heat-blued steel for the white dial and rhodium-plated hands for the black and blue versions.
