The Alpine Eagle collection of sporty timepieces has been enriched with a 41-mm-diameter model adorned with a dial in an original ‘Pine Green’ colour.
Available in Chopard’s exclusive ultra-resistant and highly luminous Lucent Steel, this timepiece beats to the rhythm of the Chopard 01.01-C movement, whose high-precision timing is authenticated by chronometer certification.
In keeping with the watchmaker’s commitment to the preservation of the Alpine environment and its biodiversity, part of the proceeds from sales of these models is donated to the Alpine Eagle Foundation.
This highly legible, stylish green dial makes its debut on the dial of the watches in the Alpine Eagle collection: like Aletsch Blue, Bernina Grey or Pitch Black, ‘Pine Green’ is inspired by the palette of natural colours shaping the beauty of the Alpine biotope.
It evokes the forests carpeting the mountains when, on summer days, the melting snow gives way to a deep greyish-green mantle of vegetation.
On this textured dial with its radiating pattern evoking the eye of an eagle, the indication of the hours, minutes and seconds provides an elegant and legible contrast through rhodium-plated hour-markers and hands enhanced with Grade X1 Super-LumiNova to ensure optimal visibility even in the dark.
Positioned between four and five o’clock, the date is clearly indicated on a green disc matching the dial and thus ensuring perfect overall discretion and harmony.
Since the launch of the collection in 2019, Alpine Eagle has been distinguished by its choice of materials, in harmony with ‘Chopard’s Journey to Sustainable Luxury’.
In keeping with the ethical approach to which the maker is committed, this metal exclusive to Chopard is made with an 80 per cent recycling rate.
Thanks to its anti-allergenic composition, it has properties comparable to surgical steel, making it highly dermo-compatible.
With its resistance of 223 Vickers, this alloy is 50pc more resistant to abrasion than conventional steels and has a unique hardness.
Finally, thanks to a crystal structure boasting superior homogeneity, its purity enables uniquely shimmering light effects.
Chopard performs all the production and assembly stages of the collection within its own watchmaking workshops, from movement to bracelet and including components as well as the case.
The Chopard 01.01-C self-winding movement, at the heart of this Alpine Eagle watch and visible through a transparent sapphire caseback, is developed in its own watchmaking workshops and certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute. When fully wound, the mechanism enjoys a 60-hour power reserve.
Constantly seeking to meet the highest standards of precision, the watchmakers have also equipped this movement with a stop-second function enabling the user to set the time to the nearest second.
Devised by three generations of men in the Scheufele family, the Alpine Eagle collection is a modern reinterpretation of the St Moritz, the first watch created by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele (now co-president of Chopard) in the late 1970s.
With its pure and assertive design, Alpine Eagle further enriches this heritage with powerful natural inspiration.
Alpine Eagle is a token of refined and resolutely contemporary elegance characterised by a round case with stylised raised sides, a crown engraved with the compass rose, a bezel with eight functional indexed screws, a textured dial with deep hues and luminescent indications, as well as an integrated metal bracelet.
The collection can be explored in Hall 6 at the BJC Pavilion.
