RC1698 Alpinist Style Case Green Chapter Ring - Fluted
- In stock, ready to ship
- Inventory on the way
The RC1698 pairs the signature dual-crown Alpinist silhouette with a classic fluted bezel and a striking green chapter ring — rugged heritage with a dressier edge. The secondary crown rotates the inner ring, and a scratch-resistant flat sapphire crystal sits over the top. At 43.3mm with the crown and 12.2mm thick, it's a bold, refined base for an NH or 4R build.
