The new member of the award-winning Suunto Core family, the limited Alpine Edition, is perfect for alpine adventures such as the 864 km hiking and paragliding race, the Red Bull X-Alps. The new sporty model features a green bezel, which highlights the display. It provides the same reliable data as previous Core models by gathering the range of accurate data and information needed when exploring the wilder parts of the world. It’s easy-to-use interface, with simple navigation, results in better safety in harsh conditions. The Core Alpine Edition features the Core’s classic style and design with a special 75th anniversary engraving on the back.
Equipped with a Suunto Core and travelling by foot or flying with a paraglider alone, the athletes must fight their way through some of the world’s most beautiful and terrifying terrain. “The Suunto Core is the perfect tool for alpine adventure races such as the Red Bull X-Alps,” says Hannes Arch, Red Bull X-Alps mastermind. “It provides athletes with vital information on direction, weather conditions, and altitude.” The race goes on day and night, sun or snow, until the first pilot reaches goal.

Altimeter
The altimeter features a range up to 9000m (29 500 ft). It is ideally suited for all activities where knowing your altitude and ascent and descent rates is essential. The Core altimeter sports an altitude difference measurement that allows you to track your progress in terms of altitude climbed. The log recorder stores all your movements in altitude between the start and stop times, so you can re-live your trip at home - view graphs of changes in altitude during your treks, find out how much you climbed, the duration of ascents and descents, average ascent and descent speed and more.
Barometer
Suunto Core displays the current sea level pressure as a detailed graph, showing recording of the last 24 hours with a recording interval of 30 minutes. The weather trend indicator is a useful feature providing quick reference to check upcoming weather conditions. The storm alarm notifies you of a sudden drop in air pressure, which may be related to worsening weather conditions.
Automatic Alti/Baro switch
Suunto Core sports an Automatic Alti/Baro switch, a smart feature that senses your movement or lack thereof, switching between altimeter and barometer accordingly. When you’re climbing, it records changes in elevation. And when you stop to rest, it records changes in barometric pressure. A drop in air pressure while you’re sleeping under the stars will be recorded for what it really is: a change in barometric pressure, not altitude
Compass
The digital compass displays the cardinal or half-cardinal point and the North. The declination adjustment function allows you to correct the difference between the true North and magnetic North. You can also set it to track a certain bearing, which helps you follow a chosen direction in the terrain. The compass features a one-touch function that allows you to sight lock and follow a bearing.
Depth meter
Intended for snorkeling, the Suunto Core depth meter provides information on current depth and the maximum depth reached during your snorkeling dive. The maximum depth of the device is 10m (32,8 ft).
