Quick TakeLet's face it, the L.U.C Time Traveler One Black isn't just a watch; it's a statement piece for the cosmopolitan wanderer. This isn't your granddad's heirloom ticking away in a drawer. This is a jet-setter on your wrist, whispering tales of far-off lands with every glance at its intricate worldtime display. The ceramized titanium case feels featherlight, yet it's tougher than your average travelogue. Forget formal, this is stealth wealth, a subtle nod to those in the know. The monochromatic dial with the white Super-LumiNova accents is pure modern minimalism, easy to read if you are in a bustling Tokyo market or a dimly lit Parisian cafe. It is a watch that doesn't scream for attention but commands respect. Flip it over, and the exhibition caseback reveals the heart of this beast: the L.U.C 01.05-L movement, a COSC-certified chronometer that's as reliable as it is beautiful. This isn't just a timepiece; it's a testament to horological wanderlust, a companion for the modern gentleman who values both form and function on his global adventures. This is a limited edition of only 250 pieces, so do not expect to see it often.

DescriptionThe Chopard L.U.C Time Traveler One Black, reference number 168574-3008, represents a technical and aesthetic evolution of Chopard's esteemed worldtime watch, designed for the modern globetrotter. This timepiece features a 42mm case crafted from ceramized titanium, a material renowned for its lightness and exceptional durability, making it an ideal companion for frequent travelers. The case measures 12.09mm in thickness and houses the self-winding mechanical movement, caliber L.U.C 01.05-L. This movement is a certified chronometer (COSC), ensuring high precision and reliability, and boasts a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour). The movement comprises 291 parts and 39 jewels, with a power reserve of approximately 60 hours. Its intricate construction is visible through the glare-proofed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal case back, showcasing bridges adorned with Côtes de Genève and a circular-grained mainplate. The watch's dial, treated with a black galvanic finish, presents a striking contrast with white Super-LumiNova coated Arabic numerals and hour markers. A hand-crafted vertical satin finish at the center and an azured hour circle enhance its visual appeal. The destination time disk is rendered in light gray and black with a circular satin finish, while the city disk features a dark gray circular satin finish, offering a comprehensive worldtime display.

Functionality is further amplified by the watch's capability to display hours, minutes, seconds, and date, alongside its worldtime feature. The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters, suitable for everyday wear and light water activities. A titanium pin buckle secures the black rubber strap, which is embossed with a Cordura effect, providing both comfort and a contemporary look. The front glass is a glare-proofed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensuring legibility and protection. The movement's dimensions are Ø 35.30 mm with a thickness of 6.52 mm, highlighting Chopard's mastery in creating sophisticated, compact mechanical movements. The balance spring is flat, and the balance wheel features three spokes, contributing to the movement's overall stability and performance.
