Chopard’s St. Moritz collection was introduced in the early 1980s as the brand’s response to the rising popularity of integrated sports watches. Named after the glamorous Swiss ski resort, the St. Moritz was Chopard’s first sports watch made in steel, and it combined sporty elegance with mechanical finesse in a distinctive, angular case design secured by visible screws. The present example is a reference 8333 in stainless steel, a rare chronograph version of the St. Moritz, making this piece particularly sought-after. Housing the renowned Frederic Piguet-based caliber 1185, it features a column-wheel, vertical-clutch chronograph with automatic winding and a date display at 4:30. Its electric blue sunburst dial offers a striking contrast against the brushed steel case and bracelet, and the overall preservation is remarkable: clear caseback engravings, sharp bezel edges, and nice factory finishes throughout. Chopard’s St. Moritz Chronograph in steel is a fascinating timepiece that captures the fusion of high horology and sporty luxury, a true hidden gem in the world of integrated chronographs.
