Chopard Alpine Eagle 41 XP CS Platinum

Chopard refines its luxury sports watch offering with the Alpine Eagle 41 XP CS Platinum, an ultra-thin 41mm model crafted entirely from platinum and featuring a luminous ice blue dial. Building on the success of the earlier XPS variant, this new reference introduces a central seconds hand while maintaining the sleek architecture, signature eagle-eye motif, and COSC-certified movement that define the Alpine Eagle line. Limited in production and boutique-exclusive, it delivers a minimalist evolution of the collection with heightened elegance and mechanical prestige.

This boutique exclusive is housed in a refined 41mm case crafted entirely from 950 platinum, measuring just 8mm in thickness for an ultra-slim profile that distinguishes it from most luxury sports watches. The round case features the collection’s signature bezel with eight functional screws arranged in pairs at the cardinal points, adding a sense of architectural balance. Alternating satin-brushed surfaces and polished chamfers emphasize the sculptural geometry of the case and lend it a contemporary yet elegant character.On the reverse side is a glare-proof sapphire exhibition caseback, offering a clear view of the finely finished in-house caliber 96.42-L. The case, like the movement it houses, is stamped with the Poinçon de Genève hallmark, a prestigious indicator of craftsmanship and finishing quality. This detail extends Chopard’s haute horlogerie pedigree to the exterior of the watch, underscoring the Alpine Eagle’s position in the upper echelon of luxury sports models.It comes equipped with a 6.65mm screw-down crown positioned at 3 o’clock, engraved with a compass rose and flanked by a smooth, integrated caseband. Covering the dial is a glare-proof sapphire crystal with excellent clarity and scratch resistance. Water-resistance can reach up to 100 meters (330 feet).
Time is exhibited on a radiant “Shades of Ice” blue dial featuring the Alpine Eagle collection’s signature stamped sunburst pattern, inspired by the iris of an eagle. The refined texture and cold-toned hue evoke the glacial clarity of alpine landscapes, aligning with the model’s platinum case and sleek profile. For the first time in this ultra-thin series, the CS designation introduces a central seconds display, replacing the traditional small seconds subdial for a cleaner, more symmetrical aesthetic.A full set of baton-style hour markers in polished white gold are applied around the dial, with the exception of 12 o’clock, where a Roman numeral adds a classic touch. A large central seconds hand sweeps the dial with an arrow-shaped tip and a counterweight stylized like an eagle’s feather, an elegant nod to the collection’s thematic roots. The expansive dial remains uncluttered, allowing its intricate texture and color to take center stage.Both the white gold hour and minute hands, as well as all hour markers, are treated with Grade X1 Super-LumiNova for enhanced nighttime readability. This ensures that the dial remains legible in low-light conditions, without compromising its refined, glacial aesthetic.

The “Chopard Alpine Eagle 41 XP CS Platinum” (Ref#: 295396-9001) is powered by the in-house self-winding mechanical movement, caliber L.U.C 96.42-L with 29 jewels and a frequency of 28,800 vph.
