Quick TakeThis Chopard L.U.C XPS is a sleek operator. The white gold case gleams, but it doesn't shout. It is more of a whisper–a testament to understated elegance. The 40mm size and slim profile give it that perfect, goes-with-anything vibe, but there's a lot going on beneath that minimal surface. That black dial, with its subtle sunburst, is a study in depth, an abyss that draws you in, while the rhodium-plated markers act as tiny beacons, guiding your eye. This watch has the heart of a true performer. Its self-winding movement, a COSC-certified chronometer, hums with the quiet confidence of a seasoned pro. The 65-hour power reserve means this thing is built to go the distance, a companion you can always rely on. This isn't just a timepiece; it's a piece of wearable art. This is what happens when engineering prowess meets refined design, a harmonious blend of form and function.

DescriptionThe Chopard L.U.C XPS, reference number 161948-1001, is constructed with a case meticulously fashioned from 18-karat ethical white gold, measuring 40 millimeters in diameter and a mere 7.20 millimeters in thickness. This slender profile is complemented by a see-through sapphire crystal case back, providing a clear view of the intricate movement within. The front of the watch is protected by a glare-proofed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensuring both durability and optimal legibility. The crown, also made from 18-karat white gold, aligns with the overall design language of the timepiece. The watch's dial, treated to achieve a deep black hue through a galvanic process, showcases a sunburst satin-brushed finish that radiates from the L.U.CHOPARD logo. Rhodium-plated Arabic numerals and markers enhance readability against the dark backdrop. This model is water-resistant to a depth of 30 meters, suitable for everyday wear but not designed for submersion during water-based activities.

Powering this L.U.C XPS is the L.U.C 96.12-L self-winding mechanical movement, a caliber renowned for its precision and reliability. This movement boasts 172 components and 29 jewels, meticulously arranged to ensure optimal performance. Beating at a frequency of 4 Hz, or 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement is certified as a chronometer by COSC. The movement incorporates L.U.C Twin Technology, which features two stacked barrels that deliver a power reserve of approximately 65 hours. It has dimensions of 27.40 millimeters in diameter and a thickness of 3.30 millimeters. The movement's mainplate is circular-grained, while the bridges are embellished with Côtes de Genève. A flat balance spring and a three-spoke balance wheel contribute to its accurate timekeeping. The watch is completed with a hand-sewn, black alligator leather strap featuring a matt square plate design and matching tones, with a brown alligator lining, fastened by an 18-karat white gold pin buckle.
