Chopard Alpine Eagle 298600 3001 - ‘Blue’ Dial - Full Set

Founded in 1860, Chopard has established a distinguished reputation through a combination of Swiss watchmaking expertise, refined design, and a strong tradition of independent manufacture. Under the leadership of the Scheufele family since 1963, the Maison has maintained a distinctive balance between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary innovation, developing both high complications and sophisticated sports-luxury timepieces.

Chopard's history in the integrated-bracelet sports-watch segment dates back to 1980 with the introduction of the St. Moritz. Characterized by its tonneau-shaped case, screwed bezel and integrated bracelet, the model was conceived to combine technical robustness with elegant everyday wearability.

Introduced in 2019, the Alpine Eagle represents Chopard's modern reinterpretation of this heritage. The collection retains several characteristic elements of the St. Moritz, including the distinctive paired bezel screws and integrated three-link bracelet, while introducing a contemporary design language of its own. Among its most recognizable features is the textured dial, inspired by the iris of an eagle, creating a distinctive interplay of light, depth and texture.

The present example is a Chopard Alpine Eagle 41, reference 298600, featuring a 41 mm case crafted from Chopard's proprietary Lucent Steel™ and a striking dark blue dial. The richly toned blue dial is complemented by rhodium-plated Roman numerals and applied hour markers filled with Super-LumiNova® Grade X1, providing excellent legibility in low-light conditions. Its finely textured surface, inspired by the iris of an eagle, gives the dial remarkable depth and changes subtly with the light.

The watch is powered by Chopard's automatic calibre 01.01-C, a chronometer-certified movement offering approximately 60 hours of power reserve. The integrated Lucent Steel bracelet completes the refined yet sporty character of the timepiece.

Presented in excellent overall condition with normal signs of wear consistent with careful use, the watch is offered as a complete original full set including Box, outer box, italian Warranty and booklets. Combining Chopard's distinctive design, contemporary materials and mechanical precision, this Alpine Eagle exemplifies the Maison's modern approach to sports-luxury watchmaking while remaining firmly rooted in its historical St. Moritz lineage.
