REMARKS AND WARNINGS
– After each adjustment, the crowns
must always be pushed back in order
to guarantee their water­resistance.
– These operations must not under
any circumstances be performed
underwater, since this might damage
the movement.
– As the mechanism is not fully opera­
tional between 9 pm and 2 am, it is
preferable to avoid adjusting the date
during this time slot, as the date might
not jump as expected.
GMT = Greenwich Mean Time. In 1913, it was
agreed that world time would correspond to the
local time at zero degrees longitude, according
to the reference meridian passing through the
Greenwich observatory in London.

L.U.C LUNAR BIG DATE
What could be more poetic than being
in constant contact with the moon?
Presenting a section of the sky on its
dial, the L.U.C Lunar Big Date recalls
the immemorial bonds between time
and the stars. It combines the moon

functions, a large date at 12 o'clock and

L.U.C 96.20­L Manufacture calibre is
housed in a polished 18­carat gold case
with a vertically satin­brushed case
band. This perfect balance is completed
by a sunray satin­brushed silver dial,
which stars elegant Roman numerals
and L.U.C dauphine hands.
The L.U.C Lunar Big Date model houses
a self­winding mechanical movement
equipped with two stacked barrels
(Chopard Twin technology). Your wrist
movements become the key factor in wind­
ing your watch. When fully wound, it has a
power reserve of 65 hours. If the watch has
stopped, wind it by hand before wearing it
by making about fifty clockwise rotations
of the crown. This is equivalent to a power
reserve of approximately 35 hours.
