More exclusive movement than we think
FrX,
Thanks for the on-wrist review in your own time.
It's too busy at Baselworld to get much time with each watch.
Actually this manual wind dateless chronograph movement is more exclusive than we think. The regular rose gold L.U.C 1963 Chrono was powered by the normal L.U.C manual wind chronograph movement with date disc.
This L.U.C 03.07-L1 without date disc was used only for 50 pieces of the steel PuristS Chronograph after Geneva Seal certification. We wondered why they would take the trouble to homologate only 50 movements for Geneva Seal. Now, it makes sense the movement is used for special editions like the Mile Miglia Classic XL 90th Anniversary chronograph.
Regards,
MTF

Hands on review of the Chopard Mille Miglia Classic XL 90th Anniversary
The Mille Miglia race celebrates its 90th anniversary and Chopard, as a major partner of the event could not miss the opportunity to celebrate this venerable milestone. Contrary to common beliefs, the race, as it is configured nowadays, is not a pleasant ...
Great article, Fx. Thank you for the unbiased review, it is much appreciated.
About the watch, I fully agree the exclusion of the date is the proper design decision. As for the size, I feel I can wear it OK, but it would have been easy to reduce it 2-3mm by simply streamlining the inner tachymeter. I see how this wide ring echoes t...
I've never tried a 46mm Chopard watch, so I don't know how it fits.
From my experiences, 44mm Chopard watches fit my skinny wrist nicely, due to the design of case shape and lugs. I guess 46mm will not be too "off".
Thanks for this wonderful review!
An it is a thoroughly appealing watch - the second one with this movement without the date (only the Purist one before lacked it - the regular 1963 had it). If I had one wish it would be for a smaller case. The movement fits perfectly fine into a 42mm cas...

When excitement makes you smile
When this watch was announced, I was pretty excited to see this model in this previous metal but most of all with this movement. All in all a true example to commemorate this 90th anniversary. While I like the idea of having such marvel as movement in thi...
