Chopard's first sporty watch
wicozani,
Thanks for the blast from the past.
The St Moritz was Chopard's first sporty steel watch from 1980 and an early project of Mr Karl-Friedrich Schuefele when he joined the family firm.

They used good F. Piguet and JLC movements in those days before Chopard Manufacture was built in Fleurier and in-house movements once again produced by Chopard.
Good examples are sought after now that Chopard has re-established itself as a true Manufacture.
Nostalgia for the steel automatic sporty watch of the era is prevalent.
Regards,
MTF

Thanks for the link to additional info!
I have not ever opened this case, nor have I seen any pictures of the movement. Still keeping great time and never serviced. Am really enjoying wearing it for the first time in several years.

But now it's b-a-c-k! Sorry, the Righteous Brothers...😜 Good news for you. Regards, MTF
A rarely seen bird out here...
But very nice, especially in this blue dial version. Definitely one to look out for. Thanks for sharing, Wicozani!
