Chopard – Alpine Eagle 41mm with Pine Green Dial

Chopard presented two new versions of the Alpine Eagle luxury sports watch featuring a turquoise dial with a texture reminiscent of an eagle’s iris.

The new dial colors are available in two case/bracelet options: stainless steel or Fairmined rose gold.

The steel used by Chopard is called Lucent Steel A223 and is the result of a remelting process which makes it highly skin compatible, more wear resistant and particularly reflective.

Regarding its rose gold, Chopard cheap guarantees that it comes from a cooperative whose operations are certified as ethical, fair and sustainable.

Featuring a one-piece case and bracelet with polished and matte finishes, the Alpine Eagle features a circular bezel dotted with eight screws, set in pairs at four cardinal points, their slots matching the circle of the bezel cut.

These screws also have a technical function that ensures the watch is water resistant to 100 meters / 330 feet. The standout feature of the 41mm x 9.7mm case is the protection of the large crown engraved with the compass rose.

The tapered Alpine Eagle bracelet consists of one ingot-shaped link topped with a polished center cap. A stainless steel triple folding clasp secures the fashion watch on the wrist.

Like the hour markers, the hour and minute hands are coated with Super-LumiNova Grade X1 for improved nighttime readability. Beating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 bph) and with a power reserve of 60 hours, the refined 01.01-C movement can be admired through the transparent sapphire crystal case back.

Stand out in the summer sun with Jacob & Co. Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Blue Titanium

Jacobs & Co. is now a brand that stands out for craftsmanship, extraordinary craftsmanship, and more. Each Jacob & Co. factory can be compared to a work of art, lifelike and colorful.

On the other hand, every Jacob & Co watch. When presented, they brought very clear praise/criticism. They tend to follow an unconventional aesthetic, and traditional elements are less recognized at Jacob & Co. Musicians can find the minute repeater mechanism in the sapphire caseback, a watch that plays the deep tunes of The Godfather. Or maybe the movement of the engine block of the Bugatti Chiron supercar is also featured in Jacob & Co’s home timer.

However, Jacob & Co.’s Epic X isn’t as complicated as an Astronomia, Twins Turbo or Bugatti Chiron watch. It’s suitable for everyday wear and subtly showcases your outstanding personality. That’s exactly what we’re talking about on Jacob & Co.’s Epic X watch. Released last March.

Jacobs & Co. was looking forward to a high-end sports watch that combined two of the most popular watches on the market, a chronograph and a diver’s watch. More than that, models with attractive charcoal blue titanium cases, white sports models like the Epic X Chrono Tourbillon also include a flying tourbillon cage that moves non-stop across the dial.

Movement in pastel colors: charcoal green combined with white
As the name suggests, the watches in the Epic X series will be distributed in various parts with the letter X as a decorative pattern. Probably the dial, the lugs are all diagonal complements.

The current case of the Epic X Chrono Tourbillon in the blue titanium version is finished with a charcoal green PVD method, which produces a strong brushed texture. The 47mm case size combined with the white rubber strap makes it clear that the Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Blue Titanium is not a compact watch that cannot be hidden in the cuff when worn on the hand. To compensate for the size of the case, the lugs of the Epic X Chrono Tourbillon will cross and have a steeper slope, ensuring the high quality watches replica hugs the wrist more tightly.

Chronograph x diver’s watch
As mentioned earlier, the Epic X Chrono Tourbillon has a chronograph function but is still ready to dive into the sea with divers, so the watch has quite a few buttons and a crown. On the right are white ceramic chronograph pushers with red markings and a white ceramic crown.

A second ceramic crown at 10 o’clock starts an internal minute countdown timer for deep dives. But it seems Jacob & Co. forgot to add lume to the white minute counter, so the Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Blue Titanium actually barely works if it’s deep under the sea, even though it’s waterproof to 200m.

Surrounded by a wide bezel and sloping minute counters, the dial of the Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Blue Titanium, made of mineral glass, is translucent blue so we can see below through the movement’s gears. The thick vertical bars depicting the stylized X on the dial are also blue to match the outer titanium case.

The chronograph function of the Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Blue Titanium is represented by two well-balanced sub-dials and a tourbillon cage below. The dial at 9 o’clock will point to minutes and seconds, while the dial at 3 o’clock will point to 30 minutes. The hottest colors on the dial come from the large hands and the central chronograph seconds. The combination of blue-red-white makes the Epic X Chrono Tourbillon Blue Titanium feel like a supercar that won’t tire of any track.

Inside the swiss movement replica watches, the JCAA09 movement also has an X pattern, and the charcoal gray watch rotor is hollowed out and engraved with the words Jacob & Co. Geneva is red.
