Chopard L.U.C Lunar One 161927-5001

About This Watch

The Chopard L.U.C Lunar One features one of the most innovative moon phase displays in watchmaking: an orbital representation that shows the moon's position relative to the Earth and Sun, rather than the traditional waxing/waning disc. The large orbital moon phase display at 6 o'clock shows a golden moon that orbits the dial once per lunar cycle, with the illuminated portion changing as it moves — accurately representing the astronomical reality. The perpetual calendar mechanism tracks day, date, month, and leap year with no correction needed until 2100. The caliber L.U.C 96.13-L with Twin barrel technology provides a 65-hour power reserve, and both COSC and Geneva Seal certifications confirm its precision and finishing. The silver guilloché dial with engine-turned texture provides a rich backdrop for the multiple displays. The 43mm rose gold case accommodates the complex dial with excellent legibility. The Lunar One demonstrates Chopard's ability to innovate within the traditionally conservative world of perpetual calendars, offering both mechanical excellence and a genuinely fresh approach to displaying astronomical information.
