Chopard | Alpine Eagle Summit Edition
The Alpine Eagle Summit Edition stands out with its interplay of color and form. The deep, textured blue dial evokes the shifting light across mountain ridges, while the polished Lucent Steel® case reflects a clarity reminiscent of ice at high altitude. It is a watch where nature’s palette meets horological precision, crafted with an elegance that feels both modern and timeless.
This watch features a 41 mm Lucent Steel® A223 case, a proprietary alloy developed by Chopard for both robustness and luminous polish. The dial draws inspiration from birds of prey’s iris, rendered with a textured sunburst pattern reminiscent of mountain ridges in shifting light. The crown and bezel edges are sculpted with facets that echo ice crystals — precise geometry meeting natural inspiration.
Performance
Inside beats the Chopard 01.12-881 automatic movement (a variant of the in-house 01.12-880), offering approximately 60 hours of power reserve. It is chronometer-certified by COSC and includes high-end finishing: perlage, Geneva stripes, and snailing on the rotor.
Exclusive Elements
The Summit Edition introduces subtle exclusivity: a bright blue guilloché inner dial, matching blue accents on hands and markers, and a caseback engraving featuring stylized mountain peaks and the edition serial number. Only a limited number will be produced worldwide, making it a collector’s premium choice.
Despite its alpine inspiration, the watch is built for everyday elegance. The bracelet integrates seamlessly with the case, offering both polish and sporty flow. Water resistance of 100 meters ensures practicality, whether in alpine settings or urban environments.
Limited in production and distinctive in design, the Alpine Eagle Summit Edition underscores Chopard’s place in the sport-luxury landscape. It is a piece defined by rarity and refinement, destined for collectors who recognize true exclusivity.
