Quick TakeCheck out the L.U.C XPS 1860 Officer – it's like wearing a piece of art that tells time. This isn't just a watch; it's a statement. With its golden honeycomb dial that's been given some serious hand-guilloché love, it catches the light—and everyone's attention—just right. Flip it over, and bam, there's that officer-style caseback revealing the meticulously crafted movement inside, also rocking a honeycomb vibe. It's low-key opulent, the kind of watch that doesn't need to shout to be heard. The kind you wear because you enjoy the details. This piece is a mechanical marvel with the prestigious Poinçon de Genève seal and is all about understated elegance. It's not about the flash; it's about the story it tells on your wrist. This is a rare find for those who crave exclusivity with only 50 pieces available, and appreciate the finer things, the kind of timepiece that's passed down, not just worn.

DescriptionThe Chopard L.U.C XPS 1860 Officer, reference number 161242-0001, is presented in a 40 mm diameter case crafted from 18k ethical yellow gold, with a slim profile measuring a mere 7.20 mm in thickness. The timepiece is engineered to be water-resistant up to 30 meters, making it suitable for everyday wear but not for submersion. Its dial is also rendered in gold and is given a striking green color via PVD treatment. It features a central hand-crafted guilloché finish with a honeycomb design. The case back is made from a see-through sapphire crystal, offering a view of the intricate mechanics within. The crown is crafted from 18k yellow gold, complementing the overall aesthetic.

Within the case lies the heart of the watch—the L.U.C 96.01-L self-winding mechanical movement. This sophisticated caliber is composed of 208 individual parts, including 29 jewels, and boasts a power reserve of approximately 65 hours, thanks to the L.U.C Twin Technology which incorporates two stacked barrels. The movement operates at a frequency of 4 Hz, equivalent to 28,800 vibrations per hour. Further technical refinements include a balance spring with a Phillips terminal curve and a three-spoke balance wheel. Decorations on the movement feature bridges adorned with Côtes de Genève and a circular-grained mainplate, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship. The movement dimensions are a compact 27.40 mm in diameter and a slender 3.30 mm in thickness. This model is distinguished by its certifications, bearing both the COSC and the prestigious Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark, indicative of its superior quality and precision. A brown alligator leather strap with hand-sewn matching tones and an 18k yellow gold pin buckle complete the piece, enhancing its luxurious appeal. This model is a limited edition with only 50 units available.
