Supersized: Chopard Alpine Eagle XL Chrono

Chopard’s Alpine Eagle family of chic and sporty timepieces is steadily growing, with the introduction of a flyback chronograph in a 44 mm diameter case. The supersized timepiece is available in three stunning versions: Lucent Steel A223 with an Aletsch Blue or Absolute Black dial, as well as a bi-material version that combines Lucent Steel A223 and ethical rose gold with an Absolute Black dial.

The new range’s imposing size follows the shape of men’s wrists while providing ample space to house a sophisticated chronograph movement – the Chopard 03.05-C movement, meticulously crafted by the brand’s artisans in the Maison’s watchmaking workshops.

Upon closer inspection, the discreet right-hand pushers are subtly integrated on either side of the crown guards and preserve the collection’s harmonious shape and symmetry. It also boasts a 60-hour power reserve and features an elaborate design that guarantees accurate adjustments and optimal use of the timing functions.
