Chopard

When i brought my 1.96 for service, there was actually just 1 watch that i wanted to try on:

I was very positively surprised by the nice dimensions and its creamy sandy color tones next to orange on black.

So what should I take away from it?

Cheers

Like a watch that is made for you.

I find the color scheme quite appealing.

I was quite surprised about kind of cream sand tones on the hour ring.
The orange was also much more subtle than expected. More timeless maybe.

kolosstt,

Of the three basic models of the L.U.C Time Traveler One, the steel version with black and orange dial is most vivid.

Initially, that was my favourite because of the orange highlights.

Slowly, I realised the rose gold version with white dial and blue highlights was more legible for my eyesight.

It was also more elegant and not cartoon-ish.  But it is gold and more expensive.

I'm not so keen on the platinum version not because of platinum.

The white-blue metal is sumptuous but the dial contrast is not as clear as the other two.

It may be 'stealthier' than even the steel one, which you can't miss...

L.U.C Time Traveler One set

It is actually not limited.
I could imagine to kind of like Singapore and Moscow, too.
Otherwise the platinum dial color is not necessarily made for me and the gold sits just im a gold casing. Leave it like hat.
Lets see.

comment on its accuracy and reliability so far?  Thank you.

riversidebird,

I cannot comment on this exact model as I don't have one yet.

But I have a number of L.U.C watches so I can describe my experiences with different movements from that range.

Whether they are manual wind or automatic wind with micro-rotor or central rotor, all L.U.C watches with a seconds hand must be certified by the C.O.S.C. so your question about accuracy and precision is answered.

Reliability can only come with a long term analysis of thousands of watches but if this model achieves the same results as it's brethren, it should be excellent.

Regards,

MTF

Dear MTF,
Can you confirm my suspicion that this movement and watch are made by Chopard in Fleurier?
Kind regards

Have tried it on several occasions and was impressed every single time. Looking at the Moscow Edition but that’s hard to source...

but I'd prefer another city highlighted in red.
