Taking inspiration from a timepiece that made its own debut in 1997, the newest rendition of the L.U.C 1860 sports an elegant salmon-colored dial and Lucent Steel case. The original model has gained renown over the past decade, now expressing Chopard\u2019s approach to classic watchmaking and contemporary innovation in a dynamic way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2122\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/recalling-a-90s-original-chopard-introduces-the-l-u-c-1860-in-salmon.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-148589\"><\/figure>\n<p>For the exterior of the novelty, Chopard opts for a moderate 36.5mm case made from Lucent Steel. This is the first time the brand has clad the L.U.C collection in Lucent Steel, which according to the brand is a steel alloy endowed with properties comparable to those of surgical steel. It is 80% composed of recycled elements and has been used in Chopard\u2019s other designs since 2019, expressing the brand\u2019s ongoing commitment to responsible luxury. Its notched crown is also steel and is engraved with the&nbsp; L.U.C logo. On the reverse is an exhibition case back, all together offering a water resistance of 30 meters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2121\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/recalling-a-90s-original-chopard-introduces-the-l-u-c-1860-in-salmon-1.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-148590\"><\/figure>\n<p>The dial comes to life in a warm salmon hue with a hand-guilloch\u00e9 central medallion and a saturn-brushed chapter ring extending around it. White gold chevron style hour markers are around the outside of the dial aside from the 6 o\u2019clock indicator, which is replaced with a snailed small seconds counter. Ticking above the dial are white gold Dauphine hours and minutes hands and a baton small seconds hand. On the periphery of the dial is a distinct minute track marked by two finely engraved guilloch\u00e9 rings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2121\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/recalling-a-90s-original-chopard-introduces-the-l-u-c-1860-in-salmon-2.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-148588\"><\/figure>\n<p>Ticking inside the watch is the mechanical self-winding caliber L.U.C 96.40-L. It features Chopard Twin technology and winds via a micro-rotor made from engraved ethical 22-carat gold. Visible through the sapphire case back are the meticulous finishings, like the bridges adorned with a C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve motif. The chronometer-certified mechanism beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph and offers a power reserve of 65 hours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Chopard L.U.C 1860 retails for $23,200.<\/p>\n<p><em>To learn more, visit Chopard <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chopard.com\/en-us\"><em>here<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchtime.com\/wristwatch-industry-news\/recalling-a-90s-original-chopard-introduces-the-l-u-c-1860-in-salmon\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making its first showcase at this year\u2019s Watches and Wonders, the L.U.C 1860 from Chopard&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24035,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1107,1108],"tags":[1111,1112,1113],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24034"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24034"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24034\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pureluxurymag.com\/watchnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
