{"product_id":"l-u-c-1860-168860-3005","title":"L.U.C 1860","description":"\u003cp\u003eChopard introduces a continuation model of the original, iconic L.U.C 1860 to honour the 30th anniversary of Chopard Manufacture in Fleurier. This new edition preserves the spirit of the original model while integrating the technical progress achieved over the past three decades. Like its predecessor, this new timepiece features a 36.5 mm case, ideal proportions that will delight fine watch collectors. It is crafted in Lucent Steel™ and stands out with its “Areuse Blue” dial – a colour inspired by the Areuse River that flows near the Manufacture in the Val-de-Travers region. This river, known for its dramatic gorges and ever changing shades of deep blue, symbolises continuity and connection to nature. Its vivid colours, shaped by light, stone and movement, evoke the cool, bright tone used on the dial. The 18-carat white gold dial is hand guilloché with a sunburst pattern, using a vintage guilloché lathe operated by in-house artisans. Additional guilloché rings structure the dial, catching the light and adding depth. A satin brushed chapter ring, polished white gold chevron shaped hour markers, and Dauphine hands contribute to its overall clarity and harmony. The small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock completes the symmetrical design, which intentionally avoids a date display to preserve purity. The watch is paired with a grey grained calfskin strap. The timepiece houses the L.U.C Calibre 96.40-L, a direct evolution of the first movement conceived and produced by Chopard Manufacture in Fleurier in 1996. At just 3.30 mm thin, this self winding movement incorporates a 22 carat gold micro rotor that efficiently winds two stacked barrels, thanks to Chopard Twin technology, providing a 65-hour power reserve. The calibre is Chronometer certified (COSC) for precision and includes a stop seconds function and a swan’s neck regulator for fine adjustment. Each component is meticulously finished by hand, with polished, bevelled and decorated surfaces in line with Poinçon de Genève standards. This prestigious hallmark guarantees exceptional craftsmanship for both the movement and the case. What’s more, achieving this in steel is particularly rare due to the demanding finishing requirements. Lucent Steel™ enhances the visual impact of these fine finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Men's\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chopard\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e L.U.C\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168860-3005\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e self-winding mechanical movement\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaliber:\u003c\/strong\u003e L.U.C 96.40-L\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/strong\u003e hours and minutes, small seconds\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guilloché\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlass:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sapphire glass\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 metres\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Reserve:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 65 hours, L.U.C Twin Technology (two stacked barrels)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet\/Strap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grey calfskin strap with hand-sewn matching tones.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClasp:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pin buckle\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chopard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54258518786358,"sku":"168860-3005","price":2279600.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/2523\/6790\/files\/168860-3005_01.jpg?v=1784700869","url":"https:\/\/www.zeuskicks.com\/products\/l-u-c-1860-168860-3005","provider":"Zeuskicks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
