What to know
The green sunburst dial of Chopard’s L.U.C 1963 Heritage Chronograph is elegantly drawn, with small snailed counters and a brown calfskin strap reinforcing its 1960s inspiration. Within the 42mm Lucent Steel case sits a more ambitious complication: a fully integrated, hand-wound chronograph movement with column wheel and flyback function.
Calibre L.U.C 03.07-L is finished to Poinçon de Genève standards, certified as a chronometer by COSC and visible through the sapphire back. It beats at 4Hz, delivers roughly 60 hours of power reserve and drives a jumping 30-minute counter. This particular green reference was already documented in July 2023; the new September 2026 Heritage Chronograph in blue is a different reference.
