Chopard launches new “forest green” sector-shaped dial, adding a little traditional flavor to LUC XPS
The darker green, retro-style dial suits the high-end series.
Chopard has added a lovely green sector dial to be able to its LUC XPS series. The LUC XPS Forest Green features a familiar forty mm Lucent steel case in addition to Chopard’s COSC-certified in-house microrotor, adding a touch of vintage appeal to the collection.
LUC is Chopard’s high end collection, defined by under one building movements made by the brand’s manufacturer in Fleurier. The actual LUC XPS is driven by Chopard Caliber ninety six. 12-L, a Seal regarding Geneva, chronometer-grade movement. Is actually beautiful and technically outstanding, with Geneva stripes, any 65-hour power reserve, and a rare metal micro-rotor.
The particular forest green dial is actually a big update here, with all the sector dial filling out the best 40mm diameter nicely. Within the green sunburst finish, cracked by rhodium-plated hour marker pens that match the hands. Lucent Steel is Chopard’s private alloy made from 80% reproced materials, and the case actions 40mm x 7. 2mm, which is both large as well as thin.
Typically the dials in the existing LUC XPS range have constantly looked a little dated in my opinion. At least, for a watch using a lot of free space, will be certainly not a lot going on. Often the sector dial with its concentric rings, designed to help explain to the time more accurately, solved this matter. The sector-shaped dial straddles the Art Deco and also Bauhaus eras, utilizing the particular geometric patterns of the ex - to realize the latter’s “form follows function” ethos.
I'm not gonna sit here and gush about simple dial becomes the existing LUC XPS just like I did with last year's Copper Dial 1860, nonetheless it looks like a nice addition for the range.
