That watch has a micro-rotor…
Point of this proposed version would be as a thinner version with an emphasis less on sports and more on elegance. It would be a Chopard version of a 15202, or akin to the non-discontinued VC OS ultra-thin (which was unfortunately in white gold only) and also had an 1120 movement.
Doubt anyone would be taking any of these into the jungle anyway; let’s face it - what’s the most that such a watch would be subjected to? If you’re going diving or repairing your Ferrari / you’ll wear something else…

Indeed , it is beautifully done
and very fluid a bit like rolling mountains in Switzerland
We went in for the jewellery !
My better half didn’t think the watch was special enough 🤣 I might pop back alone later
The Alpine Eagle is underrated. The 36 mm suits my wrist perfectly, unfortunately
The movement is too small (21 mm caliber), which looks odd with sapphire crystal and Chopard knows that, thats why they put a thick ring surrounding the movement to make it look bigger than it is. The new Alpine Eagle Cadence HF 8 hz has different dial, t...
The dial numerals…
…add something distinctive. First: this is a great watch and I’m pleased to see people discussing it positively. When first released I think a lot of folk were taken aback. I have the large blue dial - and Mrs E has the small blue dial. (No, we don’t usua...
You are right that the roman numerals is very thoughtful
And something that separate the Eagle from other ever-popular steel integrated bracelet watch. I wish the Eagle succeed, so Chopard sees reasonable financial reason to release another size which is 38 or 39 mm, with caliber 01.01 C like in the 41 mm versi...
How about an ‘Elegance’ model…
Lucent Steel (not precious metal!) Mid-size case (as you say, 38 or 39mm) Salmon or black dial, with the four Roman numerals and perhaps a finer minute track on the rehaut Two hands only No date LUC 1.96 (whatever the current number of the movement is - 9...
Agree with you except about the movement
I am not sure if movement with micro rotor is suitable for a sport watch, in terms of robustness and durability from shocks etc. For me, as long as the movement can fill the case nicely , is ok. If the movement too small, cover it with solid caseback, the...

The titanium case is not my cup of tea for this.
Lucent steel A223 should be the one that Chopard use on every sport model. It is just very nice glowing.
They really grow on you , don't they...
I was sceptical when it came out but changed my mind in favour
