ChopardThe Chopard Alpine Eagle, reference 298600-3001, is a stainless steel wristwatch launched in 2019. It is designed as a recreation of the Chopard St. Moritz, originally released in the 1970s and 1980s.
The watch features a 41mm stainless steel case with a combination of brushed and polished surfaces. The dial is finished in a textured blue, featuring applied luminous indices and Roman numerals at the primary quadrants. The watch is powered by the COSC-certified Calibre 01.01-C, visible through a sapphire exhibition caseback. The timepiece includes a date display positioned between the 4 and 5 o'clock markers. It is mounted on an integrated stainless steel bracelet with a signed hidden clasp.
The seconds hand is distinguished by a counterweight shaped like a feather, and the dial texture is described as referencing the iris of an eagle.

The design philosophy behind the Alpine Eagle is described as being based on principles of utilitarian design and the concept that form follows function.
