Patrick, the dial is solid ROSE gold which is then treated to achieve the Eagle eye finish, Chopard's own technique. No idea if you know but Chopard owns METALEM, the dial maker, which should tell you everything you need to know 😉
Another Alpine Eagle XPS has landed!
Actually landed some days ago and has gotten quite a bit of wrist time. Can only echo the positive comments from other owners on the site. Truly an amazing piece. ...
My Eagle eye says it’s a very cool watch 😎
Enjoy it fully the weather is perfect for this watch (I know any weather is perfect for this watch actually 😉)
Looking very good! That pink looks like it gets quite intense to quite pale depending on the photo!
I wonder how the dial is made. And what the dial is made of? Gold? And how they achieve this finish? Is it some sort of strange guilloche? Doesn't look mathematical enough to be used on a Rose Lathe machine. So probably not guilloche. Very cool! Looking f...
Still... Just wondering how they made this unusual dial...
The peaks of the iris are too sharp and fine to be pressed. Maybe it's galvanically grown? Either way, it's definitely on my mind...
I had the chance to look at the all black Japanese version
The absence of the date makes a huge difference and turn a nice watch into a beautiful one.
Looks like a regular version w center seconds hand but no date
Glad Chopard is not already making more variations of this special salmon dial XPS. But I do wonder how long they will resist the urge. If they are smart, they will produce this reference sparingly and not use it for multiple editions.
Agree
I think there is a limit to how many of these calibers they can produce so hopefully that will limit the number of future XPS editions.
This reference will become their 39mm Royal Oak as long as they don't screw it up.
Honestly, I am not optimistic and expect they will pump it out in other color dials, dealer editions, small limited batches, etc. It won't diminish my joy to wear it at all, but it will be a huge missed opportunity for Chopard if it happens like that. Fin...
Don't want to assume anything BUT regardless if KFS produces more XPS models in the future, it will NEVER equal the amount of AP models that exist 😉🙈🙊🙉. And again, the XPS is NOT meant to be a mass produced model anyways 👍
Just think of the XPS as the Speedmaster 321 for Omega. Yes there are many other Speedmaster models BUT the 321 models are extra special 😉
Of course not.
You know I am not a fan of countless models and variations for any brand. However, I understand business is business and I don't fault a brand for doing whatever they want to make money. We always have the choice to not spend on something we don't like or...
