This 30mm reference is designed for the woman who celebrates life with color and motion.
Visual Audit: Kinetic Brilliance in Crimson
Our visual analysis confirms a high-contrast, energetic palette. The silvered dial serves as a neutral stage for the vibrant motion of five precious gemstones.
- Dancing Gemstones: Two brilliant-cut diamonds (0.06 ct) and three brilliant-cut rubies (0.09 ct) spin freely between two sapphire crystals.
- Guilloché Dial: The silver-toned dial features a central spiral sunburst pattern, creating a radiant depth that catches the light.
- Bi-Material Construction: The polished rose gold bezel provides a warm frame for the high-brilliance Lucent Steel™ case.
Material Verification: Ethical Gold and Glossy Alligator
Chopard’s commitment to sustainable watchmaking is reflected in the premium, responsibly sourced materials used in this reference.
- Lucent Steel™: A proprietary recycled steel alloy that is 50% more scratch-resistant and significantly whiter than standard steel.
- Ethical 18k Rose Gold: Used for the bezel, crown, and handset, sourced through a transparent and ethical supply chain.
- Red Alligator Strap: A hand-stitched, glossy red alligator leather strap adds a bold, sophisticated finish, secured by a steel pin buckle.
Mechanical Functionality: The In-House 09.01-C Movement
The 278573-6026 is powered by a manufacture-level automatic movement, showcasing Chopard’s vertically integrated Swiss expertise.
- Manufacture Calibre: The Chopard 09.01-C automatic movement is entirely designed and produced in-house, featuring 27 jewels and 148 components.
- 42-Hour Power Reserve: Reliable self-winding performance with a frequency of 25,200 vibrations per hour (3.5 Hz).
