Alpine Eagle Flying Tourbillon
Ref. Number: 298616-3003
Alpine Eagle Flying Tourbillon combines contemporary sporting elegance with one of watchmaking’s most prestigious complications. Crafted in Lucent Steel™ and featuring a 41 mm case with an integrated bracelet, it showcases a striking Rhône Blue dial inspired by Alpine landscapes. At 6 o’clock, a graceful flying tourbillon appears to float above the dial, highlighting the sophistication of the ultra-thin L.U.C 96.24-L calibre, just 3.3 mm thick. Among the rare flying tourbillon timepieces to bear both COSC chronometer certification and the Poinçon de Genève, it embodies the highest standards of precision, innovation and craftsmanship.

A flying tourbillon is characterized by the absence of an upper bridge. As the tourbillon cage is only held in place by the lower bridge, it appears to be flying, creating a transparent effect through the movement. Based on the developments of Chopard Manufacture's first caliber (the L.U.C 96.01-L introduced in 1997), the L.U.C 96.24-L is similarly thin, at just 3.3 mm. A highly rare feature for a tourbillon, the L.U.C 96.24-L movement is equipped with a stop seconds function to enable precise time-setting. This precision has is also certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), as shown by the ''Chronometer'' inscription on the dial below the logo.
