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, they get rid of the III, VI, and IX. Only XII left. If this is an indication of a "facelift" of future Alpine Eagle, i like it. The dial is more clean and neat.

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...

That watch has a micro-rotorā¦ 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 unfortun...
