What to know
Chopard’s L.U.C Full Strike Día de los Muertos Edition 13, reference 161947-5007, is a unique watch built around an elaborate calavera dial. Blue straw and eggshell marquetry sit alongside engraved gold details; published reporting attributes 160 hours of work to the dial’s artisan.
The 42.5mm rose-gold case is engraved across the bezel, caseband and crown. Inside is the hand-wound L.U.C 08.01-L minute-repeater movement, specified with a 60-hour power reserve. Its striking system uses gongs and a front crystal formed from a single piece of sapphire.
Dated coverage appeared on 15 October 2026. This edition must not be confused with earlier Full Strike Día de los Muertos unique pieces. Exact-model manufacturer imagery and a directly accessible official announcement still need to be secured before publication.
