Description
With new dials and a case with revised details, the L.U.C XPS collection is growing discreetly, in its most refined version to date. It owes its modesty to the finishing touches and the sense of detail specific to L.U.C. Multiple variations of material and colour make the new L.U.C XPS a collection where everyone will find the piece to decorate their wrist in line with their style. In its 18-carat rose gold version with a 40 mm diameter, the L.U.C XPS sports an elegant satin-brushed sunburst silver dial. With a COSC-certified chronometer and an automatic winding movement, the L.U.C 96.12-L benefits from Chopard's Twin technology and provides a comfortable power reserve of 65 hours. It is wound by a 22-carat gold micro-rotor and its thickness is just 7.2 mm, ideal for wearing under a cuff. This genuine high watchmaking piece is for contemporary gentlemen who love exceptional objects.

Movement
Entirely developed, produced and assembled in the Chopard Fine Watchmaking workshops and a COSC-certified chronometer, the self-winding mechanical L.U.C 96.12-L movement beats to a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) and possesses a power reserve of approximately 65 hours thanks to Twin technology, a system invented by Chopard combining two coaxial barrels, a particularly remarkable technical achievement in view of the extreme slenderness of the movement at just 3.3 mm of thickness. This movement is wound by a micro-rotor in 22-carat gold.
