From Chopard, presenting the L.U.C (ref. 161980-5001), a distinctive model that balances proportion, precision, and presence. On the wrist, the case feels purposeful: crafted in white gold and measuring 40 mm in diameter, defined by a round silhouette. The caseback is open, and the crystal is sapphire, delivering water resistance to 3000 meters. Visually, the face is where character emerges: a black tone with gloss finish, executed in urushi, framed by stick / dot hour markers, and dauphine hands. Mechanically, the watch prioritizes accuracy: the L.U.C 96.29-L caliber. Produced in limited numbers, appealing to focused collectors. Introduced in 2021. The silhouette offers presence without excess, lending confidence in a range of situations. Finishing showcases disciplined attention to detail across facets, edges, and surfaces. For buyers researching specifications and real-world impressions, this reference stands out for coherent design, dependable mechanics, and lasting relevance within modern horology.
