The Alpina 362 watch movement features a rotor placed out of center and an integrated winding gear, resulting in a remarkably slim design for its time. It incorporates a detached manual wind mechanism and is equipped with a first screw balance, which was later replaced by a ring balance. Notably, for the Ocean Star models, the split stem is not detachable by pulling the crown, but rather detaches when the movement is rotated to the appropriate angle. This movement offers automatic functionality and sweep seconds.
