Founded in 1860 and beginning life as a watchmaker specialising in chronometers and other precision timepieces that the brand focused on throughout its history. Eventually, in 1963 the brand was sold to the Scheufele family who decided to expand the watchmaker into the realm of true luxury though elaborate jewellery-inspired designs, much like the St. Moritz, which was a luxury integrated bracelet sports watch that the brand debuted in 1980. In 2019 Chopard to take inspiration from the St. Moritz and launched the Alpine Eagle, its modern equivalent, and in 2025 Chopard expanded the collection with the Alpine Eagle 41 SL Cadence 8HF ref. 298600-3028, which is what we have here. Boasting a blacked-out aesthetic, this 41mm x 9.75mm watch is made from ceramicised titanium, and offered on a black rubber strap to give it a sporty presence on the wrist. Featuring a black dial with orange accents, this timepiece’s automatic cal. 01.14-C movement beats at a rather incredible 8Hz, or 57,600vph, as denoted on its dial with an orange high-frequency arrow mark at 6 o’clock that Chopard places on their high frequency models.

Watch is in overall near-mint condition. The titanium case shows a few small marks consistent with light wear, while the case back also displays signs of wear. The dial and hands remain like new. It is fitted with a rubber strap and a titanium buckle showing some light surface marks. Comes complete with box and papers.

A visually unique take on the Alpine Eagle while also being mechanically impressive, the ref. 298600-3028 showcases the strength of Chopard's watchmaking division as they continue to pump out incredible timepieces that astound collectors with their looks and performance.
