The Heritage

The Alpine Eagle 41 in Stainless Steel is Chopard's contemporary reinterpretation of the legendary St. Moritz, launched in 2019. The case is crafted from Lucent Steel A223, an ethical stainless steel four times more resistant than ordinary steel, with a 41mm diameter. The integrated lug design requires custom strap solutions from Atelier Casati Milano, featuring hand-modeled attachments that harmonize with the watch's architecture. Bespoke leather options include vegetable-tanned Tuscan leather or Barenia.
Made to Measure

The strap for this watch is made to measure

On the Chopard Alpine Eagle the bracelet is drawn as part of the case: no catalogue strap will fit. In the atelier we take the measurements on the watch itself and build the strap on the piece — that is the work of Casati Milano.

FAQ

Can I fit a standard strap on the Chopard Alpine Eagle 298600-3015?

No, the bracelet is integrated into the case — the lugs are not standard and a regular strap won't attach. To change the strap, I have to build it bespoke, directly on the watch in the atelier. That's the only way.

How does the bespoke strap work for this model?

I work with <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, by appointment only. I bring the Alpine Eagle to the bench, measure the case millimetre by millimetre — every curve, every angle — and craft the lugs and strap by hand so they fit perfectly to your watch.

Which leather do I recommend for the Alpine Eagle?

I prefer Tuscan vegetable-tanned leather: it's robust, it breathes, it ages beautifully. This model was born for dynamism — the leather needs to accompany it, not resist it. Barenia works just as well, softer from the start, for those who want immediate comfort.

How long does a well-made strap last?

It depends on wear and care. Good Tuscan leather lives 5–8 years, often longer, if you don't let it rot during long rains. The leather ages, develops patina, darkens — it's beautiful. To extend its life, I dry it and let it breathe when it gets wet.

Why does the Alpine Eagle require this bespoke work?

The integrated architecture of this model — the lugs that fade into the 41mm case — tolerates no compromise. Chopard designed it as one piece. Building a strap that speaks to that design isn't assembly: it's tailoring, and it demands direct study on the case.

The next step

The right strap isn’t chosen. It is built, together.
