Something new from Chopard.
Probably my favorite new release from 2024 : the LUC XPS "Forest Green".
It was definitely the sector dial and the beautiful shade of green that caught my attention.
IMO a near perfect mix of elegance with a touch of modernity.
The proportions are really great : 40mm in diameter with a thickness of only 7.2 mm make for a very comfortable wear on the wrist.
Lots has been said about the too central position of the sub dial for most LUC XPS models.

Somehow with this special sector dial I see this as a no issue : due to the various rings of this sector dial,the sub dial integrates well into the overall dial picture (at least for me) !
The 96.1 movement is as nice as ever before, ....including the typical rattling noise of the micro rotor

Very good detail finish with a COSC certificate : the accuracy is really good !

Really a perfectly integrated piece
I'm sure you know this but didn't mention in your description is the circular brushing in the sub dial and the radial brushing of the rest of the dial. I have a soft spot for green because it was my son's favorite color when he was very small. Congratulat...
Congrats! The dial is quite compelling
And the case dimensions sublime. Looks like a winner!
Best LUC 3 hander imo
Agree with you that the sector dial solves the sub dial issue really well. Looks much better than the Qualite Fleurier.
The QF is also beautiful.
This green sector dial version is however more to my taste.
The one that stood out for me this year ...and not only from Chopard.
And,all things considered,still pretty reasonably priced.
Striking !
Congrats! I love that shade of green and it pairs extremely well with the Lucent Steel. Thanks for sharing these drool worthy pics, enjoy!
Good to hear…
That all the x96 movements have a noisy rotor - so not only mine 😂 Lovely and elegant piece but though the design does a decent job of trying to hide it - the movement would feel more balanced in a smaller case.
Seems the quietest movement I have from them is the ETA one in the Mille Miglia 😉
The others are all fairly noisy 😊
