Chopard Alpine Eagle 33mm Ladies Watch
Ref. 298617-3001
Sits in Chopard’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Chopard watches we list, which start at £4,740.
Price range £4,740 to £16,500 across 22 Chopard watches in stock.At 33mm across and just under 8mm thick, this sits neatly on the wrist without imposing. The case is Lucent Steel A223, Chopard's own variant of stainless steel, finished with a combination of brushing and polishing that gives it a notably high reflectivity. The Aletsch Blue dial carries a textured surface and uses rhodium-plated Roman numerals alongside baton indexes, with Super-LumiNova applied to both hands and markers. The tapered Lucent Steel bracelet echoes the case finishing, with brushed sides and a polished central cap, fastening via a folding clasp with safety release. A transparent sapphire caseback reveals the COSC-certified calibre 09.01-C, which runs at 25,200vph and offers around 42 hours of power reserve.

Learn more about Chopard
Louis-Ulysse Chopard founded a workshop in Sonvilier in the Jura in 1860, building pocket watches that sold well in Eastern Europe and Russia. The family ran it for three generations before the line ran out of successors, and in 1963 the company was sold to Karl Scheufele III, a Pforzheim jeweller.
The Scheufele family still owns it, and their dual background explains the house's character: Chopard is unusual in being both a serious watchmaker and a serious jeweller, with in-house capability in gem-setting and gold-working alongside movement production.
The Happy Diamonds concept of 1976 — loose stones rotating freely between two sapphire crystals — became the commercial engine of the jewellery side and remains instantly identifiable.
On the watch side, the L.U.C collection launched in 1996 with the calibre 1.96, a micro-rotor automatic that announced Chopard as a genuine manufacture rather than a fashion house buying movements. L.U.C watches have since collected Geneva Seal and COSC certifications and produced tourbillons, perpetual calendars, and minute repeaters made in Fleurier.
Chopard has timed the Mille Miglia since 1988, giving it a motorsport line with real provenance, and in 2018 moved its entire gold supply to ethically certified sources — the first major house to do so across all production.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 42 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
