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 you fit a standard strap on the Chopard Alpine Eagle 298601-3004?

No, not a standard strap—only one custom-built for your watch. The attachment is an integral part of Chopard's proprietary case design and does not conform to universal measurements. A bespoke strap is crafted directly on your watch by the <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a> atelier, ensuring perfect visual and functional fit.

How is the custom strap made for this model?

The atelier conducts a sartorial measurement directly on your watch, recording precise dimensions of the Chopard proprietary attachment. Leather is selected from premium European suppliers, then the strap is assembled piece by piece with hand stitching and personalised finishing. The process takes approximately 3-4 weeks to ensure artisanal quality.

What leather suits the character of the Chopard Alpine Eagle 298601-3004?

Vegetable-tanned leathers with natural patina—Hermès Togo, full-grain calf—enhance durability and grain beauty, creating elegant contrast with the Lucent Steel A223. Exotic leathers such as alligator or crocodile equally enhance sophistication. The type of leather processing matters more than colour, as it determines the strap's capacity for natural ageing.

How long does a bespoke artisanal strap last?

A strap crafted with sartorial techniques from noble materials and hand-stitched will last 5-10 years of daily wear, with beauty that deepens through natural leather patina. Longevity depends on the quality of the leather, care in wearing and maintenance—occasional cleaning and conditioning.

Why does the Alpine Eagle 298601-3004 represent an evolution of the 1980 St. Moritz?

The Alpine Eagle inherits the sport-elegant spirit of the St. Moritz but reinvents it with proprietary Lucent Steel A223, which captures light with superior luminosity. The 36mm case and integrated bracelet reflect contemporary aesthetic sensibility, while the Chopard 09.01-C movement with chronograph provides modern functionality, all while honouring the Alpine heritage that inspired the original collection.
