A contemporary reimagining of Chopard's 1980s St. Moritz line, the Alpine Eagle collection debuted in 2019 and swiftly became a cornerstone of the brand's sports watch lineup. Over the years, the series has expanded to include a variety of sizes, materials, and complications, solidifying its place among Chopard's offerings. This year, among its latest releases, Chopard introduces an ultra-thin Alpine Eagle in 41mm platinum. Building on the foundation of the earlier Alpine Eagle 41 XPS, this new model adds a central seconds display while maintaining the collection's signature style and featuring a striking blue dial that enhances its appeal.The new Chopard Alpine Eagle 41 XP CS Platinum is a refined evolution of the collection, housed in a 41mm platinum case with an ultra-slim 8mm profile and 100m water resistance. The distinctive round case features the signature bezel with eight screws positioned in pairs at each cardinal point. A glare-proof sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the exhibition caseback ¡ª also a glare-proof sapphire ¡ª offers a clear movement view. At 3 o’clock, the 6.65mm screw-down platinum crown, adorned with a compass rose motif, subtly protrudes from the satin-brushed caseband, which is accented by polished chamfers for a sophisticated contrast.

Unlike previous models with a small seconds display, the CS (Central Seconds) identification introduces a sleek central seconds hand, featuring an arrow tip and a counterweight shaped like an eagle’s feather. The dial appears clean and luminous, and to preserve its crisp, glacial aesthetic, Chopard opted for baton indices only ¡ª except at 12 o’clock, where a Roman numeral marks the hour. White gold baton-style hour and minute hands are treated with Grade X1 Super-LumiNova, as are the hour markers, for optimal readability.Powering the timepiece is the Calibre 96.42-L, an ultra-thin, manually wound movement equipped with a platinum micro-rotor. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, it offers an impressive 65-hour power reserve courtesy of Chopard Twin Technology and its stacked double-barrel construction. The movement is both COSC-certified and bears the prestigious Poin?on de Geneve quality hallmark, which also extends to the case. Through the sapphire caseback, C?tes de Geneve finishing on the bridges and perlage on the mainplate are beautifully displayed.Completing the watch design is a platinum bracelet featuring satin-brushed links with polished central caps, secured by a triple-folding clasp with safety pushers in platinum and blades in ethical white gold.
