The New Chopard Imperiale 40mm 'Black & White'

The Imperiale Watch completely redesigned in 2010, and gained popularity since then as another pillar for the Ladies' Watch range besides the iconic Happy Diamonds.   The new Imperiale spots a classic design with contemporary elegance.  This year, the Imperiale added the 40mm  'Black & White' models equipped with an automatic Chopard calibre.



Starting with the Black model ... case is 40mm stainless steel.

The dial is decorated with the Imperiale shinning pattern which is also being embossed onto the padded Barenia leather strap.

The sword-hands and some of the hour-indexes (non numeral) are coated with SuperLuminova for low light visibility.



Interesting case and lug design ... the side of the caseband is machine inwards, similarly to the side of the lugs, to provide contrasting light interplay.


Another option is the white model, same construction as the Black , only different is the dial and the colour of the leather strap.

** Please note the white model has protective tapes sticked onto the case.



Crown is embellished with faceted gemstones. Pulling the crown may need some practice.

Another premium option is with paved diamonds set on the bezel ...

For Ladies, you have another new option to consider for the Chopard Lady's range.  For guy looking for a gift with a sophistication automatic movement instead of quartz, check out these classic monochromatic  Imperiale pieces.
