A Week on the Wrist with the Chopard Alpine Eagle, One of the Most Controversial Watches of 2019
Time+TideA Week on the Wrist with the Chopard Alpine Eagle, one of the Most Controversial Watches of 2019.
This week, the Chopard Alpine Eagle was released, marking a brand new collection from Chopard, their first in decades. It revives the design of their first ever sports watch, and the brand’s first ever steel watch.
Based on the St. Moritz from 1980, the Alpine Eagle features the same stainless steel case and integrated bracelet, exposed bezel screws, and an eye-catching mix of polished and brushed surfaces.
Where the new Alpine Eagle flies to new territory is in the proprietary alloy that Chopard has developed called Lucent Steel A223 (a four year R&D effort) and the finely grained and textured radial dial.
