The Chopard L.U.C XPS 1860 Officer Vendôme One is a distinctive blue timepiece that portrays French-style elegance. Chopard celebrated the reopening of its Paris boutique with this exclusive watch, which pays tribute to 1 Place Vendôme. The watch, available in an eight-piece limited edition, features a 40 mm-diameter case made in ethical 18-carat gold, with a guilloché dial and an officer-type case back with a hinged cover. When the crown is pressed, the cover opens to reveal a sapphire case back, held in place by an ingenious spring system.
The dial of the Chopard L.U.C XPS 1860 Officer Vendôme One is in Bering blue, a shade reminiscent of the distinctive blue doorways of Place Vendôme. The timepiece is powered by the ultra-thin L.U.C Calibre 96.01-L, known for its certified chronometer-worthy precision and 65-hour power reserve. The movement is finished to the highest standards, featuring an engraved 22-carat gold micro-rotor and two stacked barrels using Chopard’s Twin technology.
This model also highlights a storied engraving heritage, with a guilloché honeycomb motif on the dial and officer-style back cover, as well as a hand-engraving of the Sun inside the case-back, linking it to the reign of Louis XIV. The L.U.C XPS 1860 Officer Vendôme One is certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) and attested by the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark.
