Chopard LUC XPS Forest Green: A fusion of tradition and modern elegance
The Chopard LUC XPS Forest Green represents the perfect fusion of classic watchmaking principles and contemporary design concepts.
The Chopard LUC XPS Forest Green watch is made of Chopard's innovative Lucent Steel material and has a diameter of 40 mm. The size of the case has been carefully designed to achieve the perfect balance between appearance and wearing comfort. The case design pays tribute to Chopard's watchmaking tradition, with its subtle curves and polished surfaces that perfectly catch the light. The slim shape of the watch is due to the ultra-thin movement inside, which not only looks elegant but also ensures long-term wearing comfort.
The dial of the Chopard LUC XPS Forest Green is a deep and rich forest green hue, which is treated with a delicate PVD to achieve a satin-brushed effect, exuding depth and sophistication. This verdant background is the perfect canvas for the fan-shaped layout of this watch, a design that bridges the gap between Art Deco aesthetics and Bauhaus functionality.
The fan-shaped dial features concentric rings and radial scales, which are both visually attractive and have practical timekeeping advantages. The contrast between the dark green background and off-white indices ensures excellent readability, while the rhodium-plated Dauphine hands add a touch of classic sophistication. This harmonious combination of colors and textures makes the dial both eye-catching and highly legible.
The Chopard LUC XPS Forest Green is equipped with the LUC 96.12-L movement, which fully demonstrates Chopard's in-house watchmaking capabilities. At just 3.30 mm thick, this ultra-thin movement is a marvel of horological engineering. Despite its slender profile, this movement boasts an impressive array of features that firmly place it in the realm of high-end watchmaking.
At the heart of the movement is the bidirectional 22-carat gold micro-rotor, a design choice that allows for efficient winding while maintaining the watch's slim profile. Chopard Double Technology features two stacked barrels that provide a power reserve of up to 65 hours.
The finishing of the movement is exemplary, with Côtes de Genève adorning the bridges and meticulous chamfering enhancing the overall aesthetic. This attention to detail extends to the performance of the movement, which is chronometer-certified by the Swiss Official Observatory (COSC). This certification guarantees that the watch’s average daily error remains between -4 and +6 seconds, proving its exceptional precision.
