We can show you three other models that look exactly like the Chopard L.U.C Qualité Fleurier Lucent Steel, a classic 39-millimeter dress watch. Proof? What about this 40-millimeter Chopard L.U.C XPS 1860 Officer? Okay, with a more regular case then, the Chopard L.U.C XPS 1860 Stainless Steel. Also 40 millimeters. Another color? What about the gold Chopard L.U.C XPS 1860 Limited Edition? All not in the catalogue anymore, by the way.

And yes, experts will say the details are completely different, but take a second look and you know that the design of this new model is not really groundbreaking. The lugs of the new model have another size, the crown as well and the silver-toned sector dial is slightly different. The quality has not changed and is still on a very high level. And the Lucent Steel, Chopard speak for at least 80% recycled stainless steel, should be used by the whole industry of course.

The Chopard L.U.C Qualité Fleurier Lucent Steel has a power reserve of 65 hours

The movement of the Chopard L.U.C Qualité Fleurier Lucent Steel is the automatic Chopard caliber L.U.C 96.09-L. It has two barrels for a comfortable 65 hours of power reserve. The bidirectional micro-rotor is executed in 22-carat gold (although it looks like steel) and the movement has Côtes de Genève finish.

Moreover, it is also COSC certified and after the test cycle for that certification the watch is also verified by the Chronofiable protocol. Plus, the watch has a Qualité Fleurier certificate as well. It means hours and days of testing in extreme conditions which you will hopefully never experience. All this ensures a quality that might justify the 20k price tag for a classic three-handed steel dress watch.
