Received a msg that the watch arrived at the shop about 2+ weeks back while on vacation.  Picked it up today and some first impression and quick pics.

At 42mm, it is good size and wears well on the wrist with the tapered lugs.   


Simple adjustments - Time/date via the crown at 2 and world time with the one at 4.  Superb legibility of the local time, world time off the markers pointing to each city on the 24 hr ring, and the date off the arrow pointer.


4 hand stack.


The in-house 4 hz calibre 01.05-L COSC certified movement with 60 hr power reserve.  Chamfering on the bridge edges are even to my eyes, Cotes de Geneve applied on the rotor and bridges.



Overall a very competent and compete package.  A fantastic piece by Chopard.

Cheers!
SF

I liked what I saw, and I liked it a lot. The date is nicely integrated, here. The chromatic combination works for me, as well. This is a very well made watch. Huge congratulations, SF. Enjoy. Nicolas

The orange elements of the dial make the difference here. They really enhance it and give it a sporty side. Well thought. Enjoy and wear it in good health. HAGWE Best wishes Alkiro

Chopard makes one of the most wearable 42mm cases. The watch looks great on your wrist.

Congratulations on your latest addition I have had the opportunity to try it recently and had my horological journey not taken an unexpected twist, this would quite probably be my next watch As it is I will still look to get it, it will simply need to wait a bit longer. Perfectly executed and just the right addition to the LUC line!

SF Especially the first, first-person's impression! You captured the salient points of attraction for this model. Thank you. I like the steel version but the current Mrs MTF prefers the rose gold variant because of the harmonious dial that is most legible without harsh contrast. Unfortunately, it is also more expensive than the steel version I'm going to wave your post casually under her gaze to reinforce my argument...... Regards, MTF L.U.C Time Traveler One in steel case
