To celebrate its 25^th year of the L.U.C collections, Chopard unveils the Chopard L.U.C Strike One. In 2016, the brand originally released the Chopard L.U.C Full Strike with reference 161947-1001, the first minute repeater in the line. That one was a limited edition of 20 pieces.

In 2022 Chopard released the Strike One with reference 161949-5001. That minute repeater is a limited edition of 25 models executed in ethical rose gold. Now, the newest LUC Strike One has the same design but has another material for the case and another dial color. It is also a limited edition of 25 pieces.

The Chopard L.U.C Strike One has a power reserve of 65 hours

The new Strike One also measures 40 millimeters, with a thickness of 9.86 millimeters. This time, it is executed in ethical white gold with a grey-green dial. The center is still adorned with a hand-guilloché honeycomb pattern and a minute track printed at the edge of the dial. Also, you can still see an extracted area between 12 and 1 o’clock which gives way to the striking hammer with the sapphire crystal gong encircling the entire dial.

Through its sapphire case back, the automatic Chopard L.U.C caliber 96.32-L can be admired. It displays a gold micro-rotor responsible for energizing two mainsprings which delivers a power reserve of 65 hours. The Chopard L.U.C Strike One comes on a hand-sewn grey alligator leather strap with grey alligator lining. Secured with a polished and satin-brushed ethical 18k white gold pin buckle.
