Chopard L.U.C GMT One 168579-3001

About This Watch

The Chopard L.U.C GMT One is a dedicated traveler's watch with an independently adjustable second time zone displayed via a 24-hour ring at the dial's periphery and a central red-tipped hand. The caliber L.U.C 01.10-L is manufactured in-house with COSC chronometer certification and Qualité Fleurier certification. The dual certification at this price point is virtually unprecedented in the luxury watch market. The second time zone is adjusted via a pusher at 8 o'clock that advances the GMT hand in one-hour increments, with a 24-hour ring confirming whether the second zone is in AM or PM. The 42mm steel case is sporty yet refined. The black dial with applied hour markers and luminous accents provides excellent legibility in all conditions. The L.U.C GMT One represents extraordinary value: a fully in-house, dual-certified GMT watch from a respected manufacture at a price point competitive with watches using outsourced movements. For the frequent traveler who values mechanical authenticity, this is one of the smartest purchases in luxury watchmaking.
