Quick TakeThe L.U.C XPS is more than a watch; it's a statement piece for the discerning individual. Clad in warm, ethical rose gold, its 40mm case feels substantial yet refined on the wrist. The silver dial, with its sunburst finish, radiates a subtle, sophisticated glow, catching the light with every movement, and the gold-plated numerals add a touch of classic elegance. Powered by the COSC-certified L.U.C 96.12-L movement, it promises not just beauty but also unwavering precision, a testament to Chopard's watchmaking prowess. The twin-barrel technology grants an impressive 65-hour power reserve, so it keeps ticking through the weekend and beyond. Flip it over, and the sapphire case back reveals the intricate dance of the movement, a mesmerizing ballet of gears and rotors. This isn't just a watch; it's a companion for life's most important moments, a subtle nod to those who appreciate the finer things without needing to shout about them.

DescriptionThe Chopard L.U.C XPS, reference 161948-5001, is meticulously crafted with an 18k ethical rose gold case that measures 40mm in diameter and has a slim profile of just 7.20mm. This timepiece features a see-through sapphire crystal case-back, allowing a clear view of the intricate L.U.C 96.12-L self-winding mechanical movement. The front of the watch is protected by a glare-proofed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensuring durability and clarity. The dial, treated to achieve a silver color through galvanic treatment, boasts a satin-brushed sunburst finish that radiates from the L.U. CHOPARD logo, complemented by gold-plated Arabic numerals and hour markers. The crown, also made of 18k rose gold, complements the overall aesthetic. Water-resistant up to 30 meters, this watch combines luxury with practicality. The strap is made from brown alligator leather with hand-sewn matching tones and features a matt square plate design, lined with brown alligator leather, and fastened with an 18k rose gold pin buckle.

The heart of this timepiece is the L.U.C 96.12-L movement, a self-winding mechanical marvel with a thickness of 3.30mm and a diameter of 27.40mm. This movement is composed of 172 parts and includes 29 jewels. It operates at a frequency of 4 Hz, equivalent to 28,800 vibrations per hour, and offers a substantial power reserve of approximately 65 hours, thanks to Chopard’s L.U.C Twin Technology, which utilizes two stacked barrels. The movement is a certified chronometer by COSC, highlighting its precision and reliability. The balance wheel features three spokes, and the balance spring is flat. The movement’s aesthetics are enhanced by bridges adorned with Côtes de Genève and a circular-grained mainplate. This exceptional movement ensures accurate timekeeping with functions including small seconds, hours, and minutes, wound efficiently by a 22-carat gold micro-rotor. The L.U.C XPS is designed for the modern gentleman who appreciates the blend of high watchmaking and sophisticated style.
