A New Path in the Ad Mare Legacy
Born from the same spirit that guides the Whitby Alpine line — bridging sea to sky, cliff to compass — the Dark Side Alpine stakes its claim in shadow. This is not merely a blacked-out version of what came before: it is a watch recast for the bold, a nocturnal companion forged for adventure when light fades. Like the original Alpine designs, it channels the rugged geometry of mountain passes and the flow of wild terrain, where curves meet sharp facets. In the Dark Side, those surfaces speak in muted tones, textured depth, and moody contrast.
A new chapter in the Alpine saga: a fully automatic movement powering a watch wrapped in silence and shadow. The “snow-drift” dial dances in low light, revealing texture only when the eye lingers. With a 44 mm black-coated case, 200 m water resistance, sapphire crystal, and carefully faceted surfaces, this watch is built both to endure and to intrigue. Only 25 have been made with 24 available to our VIPs. Walk on the Dark Side.

The summit feels different at night
At the center of its identity lies the dial. Black, yes — but alive. Fine raised textures simulate a drifting snow pattern over dark terrain, catching glints in low light and revealing structure only when the eye lingers. The effect is subtle, spectral: like walking across a frozen plateau under moonlight, the surface shifts with each angle and each pulse of lume beneath.
Applied indices and hands, coated in deep anthracite or blacked Super-LumiNova, maintain legibility without breaking the aura of stealth.
Departing from the meca-quartz heart of the earlier chronograph model, the Dark Side Alpine is powered by the Miyota 9015 Premium Automatic Movement making it reliable and obtainable. The sweeping seconds hand and mechanical rhythm underscore its mechanical soul — a difference you can feel, not just see.
This is a watch for purists who want the romance of gears and springs, wrapped in a design that whispers ‘dark’ but shouts capability.
A watch that moves like the roads through the Rockies that connect Canada's wildest frontiers — bold, unbroken, and built to ascend.
Inspired by the passes that cut through the Canadian Rockies, the Alpine Chronograph embodies the power and precision of movement itself. Its meca-quartz engine delivers mechanical feel with unwavering accuracy, framed in the bold 44 mm design that defined the Alpine line. Built to endure altitude, impact, and time itself, it remains the original symbol of Whitby’s drive to explore — the watch that started the climb.
