Chopard 298600 Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF Titanium Black Dial

Reference 298600-3020 is the Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF, a high-frequency extension of Chopard's modern sports watch line introduced within the broader Alpine Eagle family that debuted in 2019. This reference pairs the collection's integrated-bracelet architecture with a 41 mm titanium case and matching metal bracelet, giving it a lighter and more technical character than the steel executions that define much of the line. The black dial uses the stamped eagle iris texture associated with the collection, here rendered in an absolute black tone with restrained orange accents that set this variant apart without pushing it into novelty. Power comes from the automatic Chopard caliber 01.12-C, a COSC-certified manufacture movement beating at 8 Hz, or 57,600 vibrations per hour, with an approximate 60-hour power reserve. That high-beat architecture is the point of the watch, offering greater rate stability while placing this reference in a relatively small group of contemporary serially produced high-frequency mechanical sports watches. Chopard also equipped the movement with a silicium escapement and a stop-seconds function, details collectors will recognize as practical and technically relevant rather than decorative talking points. The 9.7 mm profile keeps the watch notably slim for a 100 meter integrated sports model, and the display back allows the caliber's contemporary construction to remain part of the ownership experience. There is no verified evidence this specific reference was a country edition, boutique edition, or numbered limited edition, so it stands instead as a regular-production expression of Chopard's more technical side within the Alpine Eagle range. For buyers who value modern case engineering, a genuinely uncommon beat rate, and a sport-luxury design that sits outside the usual mainstream choices, the 298600-3020 is one of the more compelling recent Chopard references.
