For those unfamiliar: this type of dial features a blend of Arabic and Roman numerals (half-Arabic, half-Roman), as well as dashes and an inverted triangle at 12 o\u2019clock, with the purpose to make reading the time from any angle error proof. While the nickname <em>\u201cCalifornia\u201d<\/em> is comparatively new, dials with this particular combination date back the 1930s (usually early Rolex and Panerai watches).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-interchange=\"[https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/alpina-introduces-the-alpiner-extreme-automatic-with-california-dial-with-live-photos.jpg, (default)],[https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/alpina-introduces-the-alpiner-extreme-automatic-with-california-dial-with-live-photos-5.jpg, (small)],[https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/alpina-introduces-the-alpiner-extreme-automatic-with-california-dial-with-live-photos-4.jpg, (medium)]\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" data-old-src=\"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/alpina-introduces-the-alpiner-extreme-automatic-with-california-dial-with-live-photos.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-153574\"><\/figure>\n<p>But back to Alpina\u2019s new Ref.
