Imcoming - Alpine Eagle

Had it for several days. Its finishing is phenomenal and it wears super duper comfortable.
No need to mention the gorgeous blue radius dial. I appreaciate the date window color is also blue so it blends in very well with the dial.

Of all the recent steel sports watch releases this is the one that has really caught me eye.

Lol yes it indeed looks like fur.
And this thing is oddly accurate, mine is +0.3s a day.

Love the look and finish of the dial. But there are many better? options in this price range.

Cool watch. Tried one on in Singapore. Wore small imo. This watch has so much potential. Don’t know why it wasn’t apart of their LUC line. Would have been epic! Congratulations!

Thanks! I think Chopard tends to make this watch as a functional daily beater with some luxurious vibe. Accuracy and stability are taken into consideration IMO.

I don't like its pricing as well Hopefully it will come to AD later so we should be able to see some discount there.

I had a LUC Chopard. They are on par with the holy trinity. They made a few SS sports watches back in the days. This had the potential to be their Royal Oak. The Alpine eagle is a remake of St. Moritz. Plenty of heritage there. I’m a fan of LUC Chopard. Not as big of a fan of Chopard. The LUC line is amongst the best in the world. Very underrated. They have many watches with the seal of Geneva movements.

I love blue textured dials like this. Reminds of a GS SBGK005 which I saw in person and it looked very cool.
