Specifications

About this reference

Twenty-five years after the first model in the L.U.C collection, Chopard houses its innovative flying tourbillon Calibre L.U.C 96.24-L in the ultra-thin case of its first L.U.C 1860 watch. In doing so, the Maison preserves the optimal proportions of its historical model with a 36.5 mm diameter and measuring only 8.2 mm thick. The new L.U.C 1860 Flying Tourbillon model is crafted in ethical 18-carat yellow gold and features an elegant hand-guilloché dial in 18-carat yellow gold. The transparent case-back enabling a view of its unique movement is protected by an elegant cover carefully engraved on the inside with a unique beehive motif. Chopard is the only Manufacture whose flying tourbillon watches are both chronometer-certified and bear the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark: the L.U.C 1860 Flying Tourbillon model belongs to this category of rare timepieces. It is issued in an exclusive 10-piece limited series. Case & Dial: Metal: 18K ethical yellow gold; Thickness: 7.70 mm; Water-Resistant: 30 meters; Case-Back: See-through sapphire crystal.
