Luxury sports watches are big business these days, and that’s hard to ignore. In 2019, the Chopard replica watchmaker launched the Alpine Eagle watch, which quickly expanded into a full collection with multiple sizes and complications, no doubt because of its popularity among watch enthusiasts. The most eye-catching of this series is the Alpine Eagle XL Chrono, which is the largest model in the series with a 44mm case size and is equipped with a flyback chronograph movement with three patents. The newly launched “Ocean Blue” dial adds infinite charm to this watch, reminiscent of the blue waters where the southern slopes of the Alps meet the Mediterranean.
The success of the replica Chopard Alpine Eagle is not accidental. This watch embodies the wisdom and efforts of three generations of the Scheufele family. Its story can be traced back to the late 1970s, when Chopard co-president Karl-Friedrich Scheufele persuaded his father Karl to launch the brand’s first steel sports watch. The watch, called St. Moritz, was Karl-Friedrich’s first work and became a best-seller in the 1980s. Time flies, and nearly 40 years later, history is repeated. Karl-Friedrich’s son, Karl-Fritz, urged him to reinterpret this discontinued classic. Despite some initial opposition, the third-generation heir was undeterred and eventually convinced his grandfather to participate in the prototype design and won over his father.
The Unique Design of Luxurious Chopard Alpine Eagle XL Chrono
While the Hotel St. Moritz evokes the sporty charm of this legendary resort, the design of the Chopard Alpine Eagle replica watches draws inspiration from another symbol of the Alps: the eagle. The sunburst pattern on the dial resembles the iris of an eagle, while the counterweight of the second hand is shaped like a feather. The watch case is made of super-corrosion-resistant Lucent steel, which is exclusively developed by Chopard and has a recycling rate of more than 80%. Its outstanding brightness is reminiscent of the shining glaciers. The oversized size of the flyback chronograph further highlights these fascinating design details, while the ‘Maritime Blue’ model shows the exquisite texture of the dial through the gorgeous sky blue sheen.
Like its predecessor, the 1:1 Alpine Eagle XL Chrono ‘Maritime Blue’ watch is equipped with Chopard’s 03.05-C movement, which provides a power reserve of up to 60 hours. This watch, equipped with a column wheel, demonstrates the brand’s watchmaking prowess through several technical innovations that enhance performance. A unidirectional gear train increases energy efficiency and enables rapid automatic winding, while a vertical clutch ensures precise time measurement. The flyback function makes the timing process seamless, and it also features a stop-second function for precise time calibration. The Swiss movement is COSC-certified, ensuring its excellence as a precision timepiece, and can be seen through the sapphire crystal caseback.
AAA+ Chopard Alpine Eagle Maritime Blue for Beginner Watch Collectors
Although the cheap fake Chopard Alpine Eagle XL Chrono is available with an integrated metal bracelet and leather strap, we think the rubber strap option introduced in 2022 best matches its rugged, sporty look. The new ‘Maritime Blue’ model pairs perfectly with this rubber strap, which cleverly retains the design features of the iconic metal bracelet – a subtle gradient and a raised central cover, ensuring that the DNA of the series is preserved.
The Alpine Eagle XL Chrono ‘Maritime Blue’ is a perfect combination of sportiness and luxury and a vivid interpretation of the copy Chopard brand’s tradition and innovation. Whether in outdoor adventures or urban life, this watch can add a unique style and confidence to the wearer.
