Chopard

Another review with a learning

 

Dear KMII,

Thank you for your first impressions. I am convinced that I could easily share some of your feelings, but sadly no LUC Sport in my reach to prove me right or wrong. wink

I'm truly happy that you decided to extend your Chopard collection with such a specific piece of the past. It's not that old, but whatever number is out there, it won't get more.

Interesting enough, it was your post only that made me aware that some movements that use the base calibre 1.96 don't hack. I did a quick research and apparently both 3.96 and 4.96 don't hack. Until so far, I thought the differences were cosmetics/finishing only.
The 1.96 does hack and my 96QT was just tested and it does it to. Yet, I wonder if there are other movements with other differences in the principal calibre functions?

Thank you very much and keep on smiling with your running LUC seconds hand. wink

Best regards,
Kolosstt

Chopard LUC Sport - owner's review

 
By: KMII : April 12th, 2016-00:44
It's not been a full two weeks yet but the LUC Sport has been on my wrist for most of that time, so here come my first impressions. It has been a spontaneous, spur of the moment purchase but so far I still see myself fully convinced in my decision - have ...  

Thank you for this detailed first impression review.

Does the watch have a screwed down crown to ensure its 100m water resistance?

Forgot to mention...

The crown is screw down, yes. Much easier to operate than the ABR one, too

Very nice review...

of a very beautiful watch. The movement with the micro-rotor is definitely the star of the show, although the amount of detail in the dial for a 'sports' watch is quite amazing too. I think changing to a leather strap will play up the elegance of this wat... 

Thank you!

Wasn\'t aware there has been a bracelet. But will share the strap as soon as it arrives Should make it more universally useable... Got one yourself?

I have not much personal experience with this Chopard watch

It passed me by back in the early years. I was all excited about the L.U.C 1860/1 and the L.U.C Quattro that I did not pay much attention to the 'sporty' watches from L.U.C. That's why I also missed out on that classic L.U.C Pro One divers' watch. At leas... 

If you come to Austria...

Will gladly let you play with mine By then it will be on the leather strap...

Thanks for the detailed review of your gorgeous watch

That guilloche dial is beautiful. Looks quite elegant on your wrist! Congratulations for finding it and acquiring it. A.N.

You are welcome :)

Also did not know before buying the watch but in all honesty I would probably not have changed my mind even if I knew Interesting that the 1.96 hacks. I was actually looking at a LUC Tech Twist but none were local and this was so pertinent, being on my wr... 

Excellent - looking forward to it! :)

i was browsing watches recently while on holiday and thinking of various alternatives to take on a summer holiday and this very piece came to mind. Then went on to this site only to realize you have one! Very cool. I have not had the chance to handle one ... 

Thank you for your kind words, keks!

Will write an update at some point for sure - it is an enjoyable wear and hence regularly on my wrist As for the date, the disc is luckily the same blue colour as the rest of the dial - a great feature that most LUCs share. As for handling one I would be ...
