Wearing my St. Moritz this Sunday!
Obtained this interesting piece a number of years ago. Though I've fallen out of love with blue dials, I must say this looks pretty good with my faded jeans. The dial is also quite interesting, and the whole piece is very nicely finished.
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.
CLICK HERE to read about it.
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.

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.
You've lost that lovin' feelin'...
But now it's b-a-c-k!
Sorry, the Righteous Brothers...😜
Good news for you.

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!
