ANTI-MAGNETISM

Magnetic fields can significantly impact the
precision of your watch. There are many sources
of magnetic fields, such as mobile phones,
iPads, computers, loudspeakers, refrigerators
and other electronic devices. The more powerful
the magnetic field the higher the impact on your
watch. All Alpina watches designated by "4", i.e.
the "Alpiner 4", are anti-magnetic. This means
that they have a minimal deviation when exposed
to a certain level of magnetic field.
Alpina "4" anti-magnetic watches conform
to the international ISO 764 standard which
defines the resistance of watches to magnetic
fields. According to ISO 764 a watch must resist
exposition to a direct current magnetic field of
4,800 A/m. The watch must keep its accuracy to
± 30 seconds/day as measured before the test
in order to be recognised as a magnetic-resistant
watch.
