The Chopard L.U.C GMT One is Chopard’s first L.U.C watch with a dual-time function. The model is launched to celebrate the 20^th anniversary of Chopard’s factory in Fleurier, Switzerland.

This new L.U.C GMT One comes in two versions: one with a stainless steel case and one with an 18K rose gold case. The more dressier one. That model will be on sale in November.

Setting the second time zone on the Chopard L.U.C GMT One is easy

Setting a second time zone is very easy. The crown at 2 o’clock sets the local time and date, the crown at 4 o’clock sets the home time. The kind of simplicity we like. Inside the 42-millimetrer case houses Chopard’s new L.U.C 01.10-L caliber. It is combined with the GMT function and the powerful self-winding movement provides a 60-hour power-reserve. Which is perfect for travellers.

The black sunburst dial is surrounded by a black ring which provides the local time. On top of that it is surrounded by a part-brown, part-white ring. This indicates the home time and provides a clear contrast between daytime and night time.
