At Watches and Wonders 2024, Chopard unveiled the L.U.C XPS Forest Green, a watch that instantly captivates with its blend of classic elegance and modern design.
The L.U.C XPS Forest Green is distinguished by its 40mm Lucent Steel case, which strikes a perfect balance between contemporary and classic. The watch’s slim profile, at just 7.20mm thick, ensures a comfortable fit without compromising on presence. The vertical brushed steel sides and the unique sheen of the Lucent Steel enhance its visual appeal, adding a sophisticated touch.
What truly sets this model apart is its green sector dial. Inspired by historical designs, this dial features two concentric rings for hours and minutes, adorned with off-white markers. The rich green hue and the subtle beige accents give the watch a warm, inviting character while maintaining a sense of refined simplicity.
The movement inside, the L.U.C 96.12-L, is a marvel of modern watchmaking. This ultra-thin calibre, introduced in 1996, is known for its slim profile (3.30mm), modern features (4Hz frequency, stop-seconds), and impressive power reserve (65 hours). Certified by COSC, it combines precision with elegance.
The L.U.C XPS Forest Green is completed with a camel-brown leather strap that perfectly complements the dial. This watch is a testament to Chopard’s ability to merge tradition with innovation, making it a standout piece in any collection.
