Introducing Chopard Alpine Eagle Sunburnt in Support of the Aboriginal Corporation
Introduced to the luxury sports watch scene in 2019, the Alpine Eagle draws inspiration from the original 1980s Chopard St. Moritz, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele’s inaugural watch creation.

The case is made of Chopard’s Lucent Steel alloy, which is more scratch and abrasion-resistant than traditiona
